Iron Skillet – Spokane, WA

During our road trip, we stopped at a truck stop and decided to eat at Iron Skillet where we give nothing but positive reviews from our experience! We got some gas and parked in the parking lot to enjoy a quick dinner!

I ordered an odd drink, but it was delicious! It was their Strawberry Lemonade and it was a refreshing drink with fresh berries in it! It hit the spot perfectly as I probably needed some sugar after such a long drive.

I ordered something I figured I would love, their Meatloaf Mash Bowl which consisted of a few of my favourite things: meatloaf, corn, mashed potatoes & gravy! When it got here, it was as awesome as hoped! The meatloaf was flavourful, soft, tender and juicy. Mixed with the sweet corn, mashed potatoes and gravy – it was the best meal I’ve had in awhile!

My meal was not the only awesome one! My husband ordered their Corn Beef Hash Skillet which he loved as much as I loved my dinner. It had the shredded potato hashbrown which my husband loves with corn beef! His skillet was topped with eggs and cheese – it was the perfect combination!

As weird as this sounds, we’ll be back here next time we drive by, or perhaps a different Iron Skillet location. We’ve never heard of this chain, but we’ve experienced it and we’re not going back!

Vimy’s Lounge and Grill – Waterton, Alberta

While our visit in Waterton, we decided to have breakfast at Vimy’s Lounge and Grill which was located in behind the hotel we were staying at.

I ordered the Vimy’s Breakfast which had 2 eggs, maple sausage with toast and hashbrowns. The links of sausages were excellent! Both my husband and I approved such wonderful sausages!

The other breakfast we ordered was their Eggs Benny Poutine which was poached eggs on hashbrowns, covered with cheese and hollandaise sauce.

The overall experience here was quite amazing! The scenery inside and out was amazing, with wild animals just outside the door. The food, service and price was extraordinary!

La Boulangerie – Calgary, Alberta

I still really love bakeries and cafes and when we drove by Le Boulangerie I knew I wanted to try this place and enjoy my snack on it’s patio. So, we parked our car and paid a fortune for coming here. I should’ve parked further away and taken a stroll over, but that’s the price I pay sometimes!

This cafe is quite popular and it’s busy! Even at the odd hour that we went, it seemed like it was packed. The selection of goodies inside was huge, but we opted out for our favourites as its just a little snack. You can order things from their hot menu items or sandwich items as well as their bakery/pastry selection. I decided to have their Hazelnut Eclair which looked quite delicious. I was worried about it being too sweet, but it was very subtle. Unfortunately, it didn’t taste very fresh although it was tasty. I could only imagine how wonderful it would be if it was fresh!

The other thing we ordered was their Almond Croissant which didn’t look that appealing. It did have almond flavour but it too wasn’t very fresh. It was quite crispy on the outside but it wasn’t light and fluffy on the inside. I’m not sure what’s going on, besides thinking it wasn’t too fresh.. or I was just overly excited and being to hopeful.

On a positive note, our drinks were very delightful! I ordered a cup of Chai Tea Latte and it was really fragrant and delectable! It was really nice to enjoy a nice hot drink on a breezy summer day on the patio!

My husband also enjoyed his Hot Chocolate which was decadent and delicious! Our drinks really hit the spot and it was good!

Overall, I think if I do return, I will order something from their savoury menu where they have to prepare it – like their crepes! Now that I read other customers reviews, it looks like crepes are a popular thing here! So, I could be back for that and some hot drinks!

Vendome Cafe – Calgary, Alberta

I got to go out and eat breakfast one morning at a local restaurant in Kensington at Vendome Cafe and I loved it. The service is exceptional here and the food is divine, made with real and fresh ingredients.

I started my breakfast with a cup of Hot Chocolate that tasted absolutely amazing!

I ordered a half order of Mushroom Eggs Benedict and the mushrooms were amazing! This has got to be one of my favourite eggs bennys as it tasted like what it’s suppose to! The picture really doesn’t do its justice but it tasted amazing!

With the eggs benedict, I had their soup du jour which was a Barley Soup and it was very savoury and flavourful! It was a very hearty soup and it was warming for a chilly morning!

My overall experience here was super! The atmosphere, the food, the service and the community really puts this place on the map! What a great find!

1886 Buffalo Cafe – Calgary, AB

I wanted to go somewhere special for breakfast this one morning and my husbands coworker really enjoys 1886 Buffalo Cafe and so we decided to give it a try. Located right at Eau Claire, its a neat vintage looking place!

The interior also is still antique looking and the space is just fun! There’s subtle things around the restaurant that makes you feel like you’ve been transported back into time.

I ordered the Ed’s Benedict which has 2 eggs that I enjoy soft, with tomatoes and cheese with toast and hashbrowns. This meal is very hearty and delicious and you can taste that it’s home made and made with love!

My husband ordered his Steak & Eggs which has always been something he truly loves. It was honestly an awesome breakfast and with large portions, it is very filling. The steak was grilled to perfection, and it was soft and tender.

Honestly, we really enjoyed this place. The atmosphere was cute and the food was soo good. The prices were a bit high, but due to the location, and the quality of food, it was justifiable! The restaurant is small, and very popular, so chances are, you’ll have to wait for a table and service!
