Pho Dau Bo
My first introduction to Viet-Thai cuisine was at Pho Dau Bo in downtown Kitchener a few years ago. Since then, a steaming bowl of pho is something I crave on a cold day or when my head is viral stuffy. There are now three Pho Dau Bo restaurants in Kitchener and this one on Fischer Hallman Road is very conveniently located for us. It is our favourite “fast food” takeout.

Mango Chutney Restaurant
Since we were driving through Cambridge anyway, we decided to try out the Mango Chutney Restaurant, featured in this week’s Nightlife in The Record. The Indian food did not disappoint at all (**Note – the portions may look small at first, but really, you’re stuffed to your eyeballs by the end of the meal…seriously).
The vegetarian selection was good, and, for the spicy fiends, the Chicken Vindaloo is apparently a dish not to mess with. You’ve all been warned.
Postscript by Ruth… I had Dal Makhani which is described on the menu as “lentils cooked with freshly ground spices sautéed in tomato sauce.” The taste was out of this world. The owner told me it takes 2 days to make this dish and it is the most time intensive item they serve. The service here is excellent!
City Café Bakery
The son of one of our patients brings tarts from the City Café Bakery for the staff from time to time. They are big, rich and very popular. City Café Bakery makes and sells bagels, croissants, pizza, melts, brownies, tarts and more. The store has no cash register and payment is on the honour system with customers calculating the total and putting money in an old bus fare box. We dropped in to the West Avenue location one afternoon to get a slice of pizza but lunch was over. The hours are on the blackboard in the first picture. Bagels, sweets and beverages are available throughout the day.
