RE: General Food, Dining and Nightlife News - dtkvictim - 03-31-2024 (03-30-2024, 12:17 PM)bravado Wrote: If only there were municipal zoning tools to help small local retail thrive and not die all the time in wasteful plazas… You might have a point, but this is not a good example. Highland Shawarma has had no problems in that plaza because they are one of the best in the region. I was a Chopan Kabob regular until it changed ownership (or whatever caused the quality to plummet) and it deserved to go out of business. Seems to be working as intended.

It's good that we at least have Jayalakshmi and Rangeela for some interesting variety. Who else is doing South Indian? Ideally in DTK or nearby?

RE: General Food, Dining and Nightlife News - tomh009 - 03-31-2024 Thanks. I do know some of those.
Dosas are OK, but I would really like to have actual dishes. And we rarely resort to driving for dinner. Maha's Kitchen is one alternative for us, but only in the form of takeout. RE: General Food, Dining and Nightlife News - panamaniac - 04-12-2024 Anybody familiar with Crowsfoot in Conestogo? Wondering if it's a good place to take guests from out of town? Lunch or dinner?

Wondering if it's a good place to take guests from out of town? Lunch or dinner? I find it fairly generic but inoffensive, if that's what you're looking for. It's a decent place to eat outside if the weather is nice. If you're looking for a unique local place, I don't think this is it. RE: General Food, Dining and Nightlife News - tomh009 - 04-13-2024 Variedad Latina appears to be closed--due to non-payment of rent, based on the signage at the door. RE: General Food, Dining and Nightlife News - KevinL - 04-26-2024 Tomorrow (Saturday) is the last day for the Rich Uncle Tavern. https://www.instagram.com/p/C6OmTw8OInY/?hl=en RE: General Food, Dining and Nightlife News - Acitta - 05-07-2024 Getting off the #6 bus tonight, I was dismayed to see that the Nougat Bakery at Stirling and Courtland had closed. Roua grocery store seems to be expanding into the space. I didn't buy a lot from Nougat, but I regularly purchased their sunflower rye bread. Since this was their production facility, I imagine that the Waterloo location must also be closed, unless they just moved somewhere else. There is no info on their website or social media accounts.

That is too bad. I used to get their stuff when it was on Queen and also from the UW Math C&D RE: General Food, Dining and Nightlife News - nms - 05-08-2024 (05-07-2024, 08:52 PM)Acitta Wrote: Getting off the #6 bus tonight, I was dismayed to see that the Nougat Bakery at Stirling and Courtland had closed.

I read elsewhere that they actually relocated just around the corner (I think it was a Waterloo food related Facebook group, but I can't find the original post). The Waterloo location was still open this week.

Nougat had different owners back when they were on Queen, as I recall. It really was quite a different business back then.

RE: General Food, Dining and Nightlife News - panamaniac - 05-08-2024 I don't think anyone has mentioned that a restaurant called The French is to open in the Gaslight District. They apparently have a restaurant in Hamilton by the same name. Could fill a bit of a gap in the local dining scene. |
