Kingston, Ontario Canada. Ah yes, my little mini vacation took me to this lovely historic city. It's a little city that begs to be walked. For a great family outing, a visit to Fort Henry is a must. This is a view from the top of the hill at Fort Henry. The building you see here is a Mortello Tower. It's one of 4 that were built to help defend the fort. From the top of the hill, the vista of Kingston and out into Lake Ontario is breathtaking!
Kingston has beautiful architecture, beautiful views along Lake Ontario, and endless gift shops, outdoor cafés, bistros and restaurants in the quaint downtown core..
But of all the places my husband and I love to stop into for a really good meal, it's always Chez Piggy. No point going anywhere else, except Pan Chancho of course! The late Zal Yanovsky of The Lovin' Spoonfuls and his late wife, Rose Richardson launched both restaurants...the first, Chez Piggy about 30 years ago and later in the early 2000's, Pan Chancho.
The staff know their menus and the recipe ingredients! We told our servers (we ate there more than once) that we were low carbing and they we able to help us navigate the menu effortlessly. One time, they even brought the recipe page from the kitchen to show us there was no sugar in the citrus dressing!
If you're ever in Kingston...go to Chez Piggy. http://www.chezpiggy.com/ You'll be glad you did!
The cookbook is a foodie's dream!!!!
I miss Canada
