Canada Travel Guide

This is one of Vancouver's most famous attractions and features, and well it should be. It is 1,000 acres (409 hectares) with a number of attractions inside, including the Vancouver Aquarium, the Stanley Park Totem Poles, the Nine O'clock Gun, and many miles / kilometers of trails. A considerable part of the park is preserved forest, though if you...

Submitted Monday, May 9, 2011 - 10:19am [Dine in] To call this place Brazilian is a shame. We were there last night with 9 people. I have been to this place many times but never for a weekend dinner. Once everyone sits down they wait for you to go to the buffet to grab food. The buffet in many people few is not very good to be honest. Then once...

Old Montreal is one of the most beautiful places in the city. It's filled with old buildings, cobblestone streets, etc from way back in the early days when Canada was being colonized by the French. There are also a lot of shops, restaurants, and in the pedestrian areas there are artists and performers.

Pouting, smoked meat sandwiches are on two huge menu boards in English and French. Cash only and people line up in front. Take out next door was pretty busy too. Best pouting I've had. Smoked meat sandwich was sweet and so soft and good. Communal tables, fast and friendly service.

The tower is the highest building in Toronto, and it has all the common attractions in this kind of structures - high speed elevators, rotating restaurant, sightseeing points but also a wine cellar, 3D movies and more. Sorry we had no time to go up!

Ok so you can't come to Toronto without going to the CN tower restaurant. They kindly gave us a window seat as we were on our honeymoon and i have to say it was amazing!!! - we got there for 6pm so watched the sun set and the lights come on. The food was nothing special. Yes the portions were quite good but the peri peri chicken I don't think had...

DO NOT EAT AT MANOIR MONTMORENCY WAITER NAMED ALAIN IS RUDE AND A BULLY!!!. Restaurant servers were Racist ( targeting asians). Long wait time ( waited 1hr 10min). Bad service ( not welcoming). Bad food ( steak was horrible with burnt fries). Bullied into paying tip for bad service ( Waiter Alain asked me if I had cash for tip and when I said no he...

When I checked out of the bookstore with my travel guide of Quebec City, the cashier told me to make sure I went to the restaurant with the big pig on the sign. She couldn't remember the French name, but she definitely remembered the food! Shortly after my arrival in Quebec City, I stumbled upon the restaurant with the pig sign: Le Cochon Dingue...

A few days ago,I went on an enlightening free tour of Canada's Parliament.The guide,Mark on this free tour was extremely helpful and informative.On this tour,I saw the Parliamentary House of Commons,Parliamentary Library,Peace Tower(great of Ottawa's tall buildings,the Ottawa River,the Notre Dame Basilica,and the National Gallery),and the War...

The Heart and Crown was once one of our favourite pubs when in Ottawa but a recent experience has convinced me never to return. After attending my daughter's graduation from University in the afternoon, we all decided to meet at the pub for dinner and a few drinks. Our meals were taking a cry long time and we complained to a young man who turned...

Enjoyed wearing our blue poncho's to go up to the Falls. Cool, refreshing & just beautiful. The Maid of the Mist is a boat tour of Niagara Falls, New York, USA. The boat started off in a calm part of the Niagara River, near the Rainbow Bridge, and took us past the American and Bridal Veil Falls, into the dense mist of spray inside the curve of the...

The views made the Skylon so special. We took many elevators and were above the Falls. The floor or the restaurant rotated a full 360 degrees. Service was attentive & our meals were good. Salads and prime rib with all the trimmings were very good. However, this was our priciest meal in Niagara Falls.

It is literally impossible to go anywhere in downtown Halifax and not notice the Citadel as it is the most prominent feature in the city, set on a height which, I suppose, is why it is there in the first place as an easily defensible and militarily advantageous place. The Citadel (why it is called that I have no idea) is situated on a large hill...

Pricey, but great food and excellent view. Well worth the splurge for a meal. This waterfront restaurant has a wide variety of seafood and steaks on the menu. Come early and get a seat overlooking the bay. Fresh scallops

We moved away from the Japanese Garden and back into the Italianate and Rose Garden areas. The former had a fountain and statue or two while the latter traded on its name with a multitude of varieties. There is so much variety in the geometrical patterns of the classical garden that you're never sure of what you'll come across next.

Santiago's Cafe is a popular cafe and restaurant with a mainly Mexican kitchen, although you can enjoy a range of other foreign food as well. Service is very friendly and informal. It's a great place to have an afternoon meeting or to enjoy your evening main course. Be aware that it can be crowded at times and that there is limited seating (and...

UPDATE July 2015 - The Dragon has been removed from the theater. So no more Dragon Fire. ___________________________________________________________ If you were thinking of taking in a show while at the mall head up to Silver City in Phase 3 to get your ticket. If you get there in time you'll get to see the fire breathing dragon. There are 12...

Stepping into Koutouki is like stepping into another world. White walls accented with blue, covered with pictures of family and friends throughout time. Plants hanging from the ceiling and Greek music playing a little loudly from the speakers throughout. The hostess will lead you through the narrow restaurant to your table. (There are three...

When I was up in Winnipeg way back in 2005 (even before I joined VT), I enjoyed a nice quiet walk on an early Sunday morning along the River Banks. For photography you would want to go out either in the early morning or late afternoon to catch the best pictures.

This is a real happening place. I don't talk that way, but that is a description given by many. Lots of fun, great food, great ambience, great beer. All meats are cooked the old Deep South way, in a smoker for hours and hours, so the meat literally falls off the bone. Great smoked flavour, tender, juicy.

The Calgary Stampede is a rodeo festival that is held in Calgary and also the largest annual festival in Canada. It is at the beginning of July and lasts 10 days held. During the festival, Calgary's Wild West Cowboy-image to the world. In addition to rodeo events during the Stampede also shows, concerts, chuck wagon races and exhibitions, among...

Due to a strange set of circumstances that transpired one floor above on the Observation Deck of the Calgary Tower (see Off the Beaten Path for details), we found ourselves sitting in the The Panorama Room revolving restaurant only 1 hour after leaving our disasterous breakfast at Nellie's Kitchen. Since our stomachs were still a trifle full, our...

As busy as Lake Louise already was, I was concerned about the crowds at Moraine Lake. Luckily, we still got here early enough (around 10:30), that the crowds were not too horrible. There was a fairly substantial line for those wanting to rent kayaks/canoes as we passed, and since we had skipped the walk around Louise, we definitely wanted to tackle...

I just had THE most forgettable pizza of my life. Their website says they use fresh made daily, hand-stretched dough.... what I just got was something that tasted suspiciously like a frozen pizza crust, with next to nothing on it. My pizza had 8 toppings, and there was barely anything to it.... I can't help but think there has to be a pizza a whole...

I am convinced that this town is dominated by the lake. Opposite the lake is Detroit, Michigan. A most relaxing way of spending the evening, would be simply relaxing by the still waters. I doubt I would ever be tired of doing that! The lake is about 2Km across. There are a few miles of walking paths along the river. Hans (Waalewiener) took all...

The town lies in the middle of Banff National Park, in the valley of the Bow River and resembles a small town in the Alps. In the summer time it is mostly visited by hikers, and winter is a place for skiers, the bustling city center is very contradictory with his quiet nature and beauty. Visits Banff certainly do not get bored Shopping in Banff is...

If you want to spend 180 on dinner and sit beside obnoxious drunks then this is the place for you. We complained to the waiter because we were being harrassed who really didn't care. Never done it before but filed a complaint with ALGC about extreme over serving. Run away from the crap service. Food was ok at best. Worst restaurant experience I can...

The last major stop along the parkway before you hit the town of Jasper. From the parking lot, it's a short walk to get your first glimpse of the falls. However, there's a nice system of several short trails that give you views of the falls from a few angles, as well as a few other nice geological formations carved by the river over time. What we...

What is your tummy telling you? Seafood? Greek Specialties? Chicken? Pasta? Pizza? Burgers? THE PALISADES RESTAURANT has it all. Over 50 main dishes to choose from. Great atmosphere under a glass atrium with mountain views. Breakfast/Lunch from$6.00. Entrees from$7.00 up. Hans and I both had the advertised dinner special--pork chop dinner @ $8.95....
