Normandin


In keeping with the theme of this journal we ate at a typical Canadian chain restaurant called Normandin that caters to families and is what I would called Denny’s like. Traveling with Brandon in particular is a challenge because he is one of those kids who is not at all adventurous when it comes to eating. He absolutely will not try anything new and he mostly likes steak and pasta, hummm. What grandfather does that sound like???

I have never eaten here before but the parking lot was full which is always a good sign. We walked in and were escorted to a booth almost immediately. The waitress spoke to us in French but when Al looked at her blankly she went right into English. Be warned however the menu is only in French. The good news for Anglophiles is that there are a lot of pictures in the menu so even without French you should be able to get a general idea of what they are offering. More good news they are open 24 hours and serve wine and beer.

The menu offers a wide variety of items. There was a full page of pizza choices both with the thin European crust and the thicker traditional. There were also several pasta items with either meat sauce or your own combination.

The children’s menu had numerous choices one of which was pasta. For $4.75 your child gets a drink, dessert and an entree. Brandon chose the pasta with meat sauce, a 7 up and Jell-O for dessert which was covered with whipped topping and gummy bears. When we asked for cheese they said parmesan? Brandon was one happy kid. They even brought him some carrots and celery with dip as a starter.

Al ordered a chopped steak dinner with gravy and fried onions. It was served with Fries and vegetables, carrots, green beans and broccoli. Needless to say he didn’t clean his plate but there were only vegetables on it.

I order a grilled cheese sandwich and frites with sauce. This is French fries with gravy on them, a very Canadian thing that I happen to love. The food was good; not gourmet but then neither were the prices. Al of us ate for $25 which I think is a fair price. Brandon asked me to rate the restaurant and I gave it a three, he was indignant and said it was a 5 he loved the Jell-O and says it was the best he has ever had. Hay if the kid is happy I guess it is a 5. Service certainly was a five not only was it quick it was friendly and every waitress that walked by asked us if we were enjoying our meal. Yes we did enjoy it and it is certainly a kid friendly place and the bathrooms are nice and clean.
