Dear all,
We had a day of feasting today stopping by not one, but two of the local eating establishments in attempt to expose my sister to the highlights of lovely Collingwood during her whistle stop tour.
We stopped off at Duncan's and Cafe Chartreuse, both found on Hurontario Street in the heart of down town Collingwood.
We met up with Anna, Dale, Nadia, Dave and Di for an epic breakfast at Cafe Chartreuse; known for its huge portions, delicious French fair and the pancakes.
Once we had all assembled at the table, everyone migrated towards the main counter to gaze at pastries and order food.
Darren went straight for a 'bowl' of coffee [pictured here] and OJ and I went for cappucinos [ of course].
We decided to go for the french toast, scrambled eggs and eggs benny and it was awesome! Ooo and we picked up a couple of croissants for the 'wait' before the food arrived [definitely needed... *gawp*].
It was all amazing and we all left so full that even driving past Tim Hortons made us wince. There had been a LOT of food consumed.
Our next stop was Duncan's, one of my favorite spots for lunch in Collingwood, primarily due to their incredible selection of home made soups that are consistently superb. Wonderful Linda had very kindly offered to take us out for lunch and thus began a 2 hour long feast, full of food, wine and gossip
We shared a selection of appetizers and also had three of the soups respectively { to maximise sampling potential }; I had the Squash, OJ had mushroom and Linda had potato and stilton. ALL were amazing and we rattled around in our wonderful booth putting the world to rights for hours!
It was wonderful. I love Collingwood and I love it's cafes. Hurray for Cafe Chartruese and Duncans!
