This was a place I had been wanting to visit, so when I knew that I would be seeing my friend Felicia and her brother Edward, I suggested it right away!
Felicia and I worked together at Coles bookstore, which I worked at part-time during university in St. Catharines, Ontario. Felicia and her brother Edward are currently on a trip of Europe which they began in the middle of April.
The Maple Leaf was decorated inside with some items that represent Canada...hockey memorabilia, a moose head, lots of red and white. So, it did a good job of displaying a Canadian atmosphere. And it wasn't there fault that there was only cycling on to show on the television screens, and no hockey.
I did order poutine, which I had been craving for so long! It was good, but no where near how amazing poutine can be in Canada when it is made with cheese curds instead of grated cheese. However, I enjoyed the taste of gravy on my fries instead of ketchup as a change. They also featured the Caesar drink, which apparently Canada is known for? I had no idea, as I can't stand tomato juice but fair enough as people at the pub seemed to be enjoying it. I also liked that some of the people who worked at the pub were Canadian too. It was different to hear an accent like mine on the other side of the pub counter!
It was great to catch up with Felicia. It made me think about how I miss all of my co-workers at Coles but it's nice to know that you are all doing well! :)
