Went to Canadian Cafe in Monrovia today, with mysryael and Little Bit.

Oh. My. The food was very very good, the service could not have been friendlier, and the poutine was *wonderful*!! (I told them about Miso Poutine) Little Bit doesn't seem to share her Da's liking for Poutine though. :-/

Still, very good, fresh food, and massively friendly service.

Little Bit doesn't seem to share her Da's liking for Poutine though. :-/

Don't feel too bad; neither Miss_Chiff nor Duckling particularly care for sushi (even though I'm somewhat mad about the stuff).

The important bit was good time with the Little Bit.

(Some day, you'll have to explain "poutine" to me. I'm too lazy to Google it...and it always sounds better from another person as opposed to a dry recitation from a recipe book.)

Poutine is a dish that orginated in Quebec, and has spread thoughout Canada. In it's simplest form, it's french fries topped with cheese curds, (the fresher the better), and brown or chicken gravy

I've heard of a couple varients. Such as Italian Poutine, (use a pizza sauce rather than the gravy), and Chinese Poutine, (use a sweet-and-sour sauce). The oddest sounding though was Miso Poutine, in which Miso soup is used in place of the gravy.

There's also vegan poutine, (use mushroom gravy and soy "cheese")

Little bit did enjoy her father's company though.

Her bear also got a goodly share of attention.

Food was respectable, prices were outstandingly reasonable
but the table was too short for the seating.
