Blog 48 - Monday, May 10, 2021
There will only be ONE (1) BLOG this week! No school Friday (again).
GREAT NEWS!
It looks like restaurants and terraces will be opening in the VERY near future.
What RESTAURANT/TERRACE are you looking forward to eating at again?
Have you used UBER EATS or other delivery services?
What makes the experience of going to a restaurant SPECIAL?
Explain.
A restaurant I'm looking forward to eating again is Vivaldi and Moes. Those are my favorite restaurants and they taste so good. Everytime I go to Vivaldi, I order gnocchi's with meat sauce and whenever I go to Moes, I order their smoke meat poutine and I share a cheesecake with my family. I've used Uber Eats when I hangout with my friends but never with my family. The experience of going to a restaurant is special because you can be social with other people, have someone cook food for you and it sets the mood for when you're eating (music, background noise, lighting etc)
ReplyDeleteVivaldi is so good! Great blog.
DeleteI like Moes too, but the name cracks me up every time.
DeleteI am so excited for restaurants to open again. During the pandemic, my family and I have ordered out a couple of times but we don't like to use Uber eats or Skip the dishes because you have to pay extra for them. One restaurant I am really excited to go to is Melrose pizza. This pizza place is around the corner from my house and the have some delicious pizzas. I am also excited for little italy to open because in the summer my family and I walk around and they have some of the best italian food ever. The reason why i like going to restaurants so much is the social aspect.
ReplyDeleteI'm excited for little Italy to open too! Great blog.
DeleteI love the social aspects of restaurants too! Great blog
DeleteI honestly don't have and individual restaurant that I need to go to, of course there are some restaurants that I'm looking forward to going to, but none specifically. My family and I used Uber eats a total of 2 times. I think it's just kind of a waste of money, sometimes right before you order it will say that a big mac plus fries is 11 bucks (which is reasonable). But then after you pay all the sudden your paying an extra 10 buck making it 21 dollar in total which in my opinion is a rip off. I would say the experience that makes going to a restaurant special is the energy and vibe it gives off and the fact that there are 0 dishes.
ReplyDeleteI completely agree! I never liked to use Uber eats when I eat out because I find it a giant rip-off. Great blog!
DeleteI agree Uber eats is a huge waste of money, good blog.
DeleteUberEats is a waste unless youÀ're very hungry, good blog.
DeleteI can't wait to go back to Marathon's or Monza restaurant. When restaurants finally open back up the two restaurants I want to go to most are Marathon's which serves amazing souvlaki chicken sticks with fries that are to die for and a salad on the side. Marathon's is my favourite greek restaurant and I can't wait to dig into one of their meals. The second restaurant is Monza which is a somewhat fancy Italian restaurant. They serve all round great food with some amazing pizza, pasta and great appetizers like calamari, salad and a sausage and cheese platter. These are the two main restaurants I want to go to because most of the take out restaurants like McDonald's and Wendy's my family has order at least once this pandemic whilst those two we have not.
ReplyDeleteMarathon's is a great restaurant, but I've never been to Monza. I guess I have a few places to check out when things start opening up. This is the first time in a long time I've commented on your blog, keep it up (even though there are only two blogs left)!
DeleteI really don't like going to restaurants, I find them way to noisy and too crowded and I never know what to order. We don't use Uber eats because it makes the food way more expensive than it has to be so my mom usually orders over the phone than my dad pickles it up in person. There is nothing special about going to a restaurant for me, it's mostly mediocre food and way too noisy. I don't go to restaurants often because of how much I dislike them, when I do go it's probably because of some random occasion I couldn't care less about, so there is nothing special about eating at a restaurant for me.
ReplyDeleteI completely agree, Uber eats is way more expensive, and restaurants are always loud. Great Blog!
DeleteMy favorite restaurants are Scarolies, Baton Rouge and Marathon. I am really looking forward to eating there again because they have the best foods. During quarantine my family and I did not use delivery services but we did order out from restaurants. I love going to restaurants because it’s a fun social experience and because you get amazing food served to you. They are also fun because you get to dress up fancy and you don’t have to worry about cleaning up the dishes at the end of the night.
ReplyDeleteI love Baton Rouge too! Great blog.
DeleteScarolies is a great resterant! Nice blog!
DeleteI don't really eat at restaurants, great blog!
DeleteHonestly, I practically never go to restaurants. I only go on special days, such as birthdays, or parties, etc. Even though I will most likely go once a year, I will be very excited to go to Jukebox. Although it could be very packed, a delicious burger will forgive, as well as the fries and milkshake. I have never ordered Uber Eats, as it it always much more expensive, and usually takes a long time. Instead, my mom would just cook a healthy meal, or just go pick up the food. Honestly, there is not many special things when going to a restaurant, besides being able to celebrate a party with your friends and family. One downside to going to a restaurant, is of course the amount of people, and the amount of noise from these people.
ReplyDeleteIt's the same for our family. We don't usually go into restaurants often, unless it is a special day, or a big event is happening.
DeleteWhen restaurants are open, I'd like to go to Jack Astor's and Baton Rouge. My family and I have always loved to go to restaurants so it really sucked when we couldn't go anymore. Over the long period of covid, we have used uber eats a lot for food. My mom is really busy, so she doesn't have the time to make dinner often. I think going to restaurants is special because you get to enjoy food in an open environment. You don't have to make food and instead get food served to you. You also don't have to worry about cleaning dishes and the kitchen after.
ReplyDeleteI also like that if we go to a restaurant, we don't have to do dishes! Great blog.
DeleteMy parents order dominos sometimes just to avoid doing dishes and cleaning up all in general.
DeleteThe place that I would enjoy going to again is Notre-Beouf-de-Grace. That place has amazing food, and I have not been there often, so I would like to go once more. However, there isn't really another place I want to go to, as the experience is pretty much the same every time; it's either alright or bad. My family has never used Uber eats, and for good reason. It is much more expensive, and we have a car ourselves. Plus, my family is capable of not being lazy for 15 minutes, just to go get some damn food. Nothing really makes going to a restaurant special, except for the food they serve. Otherwise, they tend to look and feel the exact same. The bathrooms are all shot, the seats stiff and uncomfortable, and the tables deformed ( for some odd reason ).
ReplyDeleteNotre-Beouf-de-grace is a great restaurant 100% recommend it to anyone.
DeleteIve never been there but it sounds very good. Ill need to try it once they open up again.
DeleteI dont plan to sit at a resterant in the near future, but some resterants that I'd like to take out food from are Stash café, Arena and La roullotte. I have never used uber eats. Going to a resterant is special because it's not everyday and everyone can eat what they want.
ReplyDeletePersonally I'm exited for breakfast places to open back up. Me my brother and my grandpa have always enjoyed going out for breakfast together and we haven't been able to do that recently because of everything being closed. Beyond that I don't really care that much about restaurants though I do think it's stupid that it took them this long to be allowed to open considering they have shopping malls open. I also don't understand people who pay for things like uber eats or skip the dishes. It just doesn't make sense to pay so much just to get average food because it would be even more illogical to order from an expensive restaurant and have it sit in someone's car while they drive around but that's my opinion.
ReplyDeleteGoing out for breakfast is a lot of fun, can't wait to be able to do it again.
DeleteMy family and I don't go to restaurants unless there's an occasion like someone's birthday. A restaurant that I would love to go back to would be Duke & Devine’s. It’s a pub in Beaurepaire village. I would also like to go to Avocado Sushi in Pointe-Claire village. Ever since COVID, my family has been ordering food almost every second week. Sometimes we order it and have to pick it up or they deliver it to us, but we never use Uber Eats. Restaurants are special because you have a wide variety of choices of what to eat, and it also gives you a chance to socialize with family and friends.
ReplyDeleteAvocado Sushi is a great choice. Great blog!
DeleteWhen the restaurants open again, I will be looking forward to going to Baton Rouge, Alounda, Bis, Queue de Cheval and so many other restaurants. I go out for dinner almost once every week with my family and we definitely enjoy the experience of going out to a restaurant. I don't use delivery services often but I am not opposed to using them because it is still good. The experience of going to a restaurant is amazing, the food, the decor the restaurant and the whole dressing up part. It is really fun to go with a big group and I am always up for going out. If all of them open up it will be so good and life will be a lot more fun in this time.
ReplyDeleteI am very much looking forward to restaurants opening because I love eating out. Its nice to do every once in a while but during covid I haven't done any of this except maybe order pizza a couple times. I am very much looking forward to go eat ramen and sushi because I just love eating these, its always good and I know I will be full by the end. I have never tried uber eats or anything like that because I mean why not get it yourself. I have seen drivers come into the restaurant a couple times to take the food and considered it but never gave it any more thought. I think going to a restaurant is great because you can go with family and friends, but I think the main reason I go to restaurants is well because of the food. Im not going to order somewhere if I know im not going to like it. And after waiting a while and you finally get your food is so satisfying
ReplyDeletePizza's a pretty great comfort food, great blog.

ReplyDeleteEating at a restaurant is always fun, My favourite restaurant is a sushi place called Sushi St. Jean. I really like sushi, and it serves all my favourite kinds. Our family has resolved to go there as soon as the coronavirus is over. I have used Uber Eats just for things like pizza, and other things like that, usually at a hockey tournament in ontario, when we all run out of food at night.
ReplyDeletePersonally I don't really care if restaurants open or not because I don't go to them. Normally my family and I always get take out. Normally I just eat at Indian restaurants because my parents prefer it over fast food. So if we ever have a special occasion we just order Indian food from Akum, Bombay Mahal, Beau Village, etc. Normally if my brother doesn't want to eat it we just order a pizza. My cousin works at skipthedishes so sometimes we just order on there because they have most of the restaurants that we eat at.
ReplyDeleteI agree we also order take out. Nice blog!
Deletesame, great blog
DeleteGoing to restaurants isn't that big of a deal for me because you can always order take-out instead of driving to restaurants and wait for 5 to 10 minutes to get seated, then another 20 minutes to have food delivered to your table. It just takes too much time but, on the other hand, some restaurants have a really nice environment and a good service, and also the food taste fresher if you eat at the restaurants which is worth the time and makes it a special experience. We had never used Uber Eats because it's too expensive. Usually, it's just my mom who picks up the food and brings them home.
ReplyDeleteI am looking forward to eating in any restaurant, I don't care which one. The truth is, as long as takeout is available, I'm still able to have my favorite foods, such as portuguese chicken from Les 3 Marias, and shawarma from Boustan. My family used Uber Eats once in quarantine, because we got this huge discount, but even with that it was still a rip-off. Going to a restaurant is different from eating at home not just because of the food, but the ambiance. The music, the other people, the smell... these are all things that change how we feel while eating our meal that we simply can't have at home.
ReplyDeleteLes 3 marias is really good, great blog!
DeleteI agree as long as there is take out, we can always eat from the restaurants. Great blog!
DeleteI don't really think I'll be going out any time soon. My parents are very careful about all this pandemic stuff and seeing how badly opening the gyms was there's no way we're going to go to a restaurant anytime soon. We've used delivery services a lot since my parents didn't want to have to cook everyday, probably at least once a week. I think there are a lot of things that make going to a restaurant special, like for example the ambience of the restaurant, or the fact that the food you get there will always be better than if you get it taken it and eat it at home.
ReplyDeleteIm happy restaurants are opening again because I enjoy eating out. A lot of my favourite restaurants closed completely after Covid, it sucked because for some of them you couldn't order takeout at all, and for others takeout just didn't taste the same. Fast food was mostly the same though since we usually just do drive through and eat in the car. I've really missed the spring rolls and pho from one viet restaurant we ate at all the time before quarantine, i also miss burritos and Marathon's souvlaki. We've ordered Uber eats a few times but it was kinda a scam, when we order delivery, we usually use Skip the Dishes instead. i think the difference between eating at home and eating out is that when you're at home, everything is more casual, most of the time people dont eat together at the table with their families, but when you're in a restaurant you feel more social and you are eating together with other people, the environment of the other people and music around you makes everything feel very different.
ReplyDeleteI agree the environment feels completely different, great blog!
DeleteI am looking forward to eating at Dr.Laffa again. They make the most delicious and juicy laffa which are big wraps stuffed with chicken inside like a shwarma which is a wrap with many vegetables and sauce in side. I the last time I ate there I split my laffa in half with my dad and even then i was full. Lately we sometime uses Uber eats. We don't use it on a daily notice but we do buy domino pizza or ice cream from it sometimes. Though going to a the restaurant in person allows you to get the full experience of being outside the house eating cuisine that is different than what you regular eat at home. You get to experience the light or mood of the restaurant along side there offers of design and comfortableness.
ReplyDeleteI'm really excited that they will be opening since I enjoy going out to eat. I'm looking forward to eating at pretty much any restaurant in the pointe claire village, most of my favourites are there. I find my family has ubered a lot during Covid, probably about once a week, mostly from either dominos, dairy queen or a burger place. I find that the best thing about going out to eat is that its automatically more fun since I find it impossible to be in a bad mood. I also find that food tastes so much better in a restaurant then it would if you ordered it
ReplyDeleteI’m happy that restaurants are opening again but even if they weren’t, I wouldn’t be sad. I prefer takeout because it's easier. I really like a chicken place called Les 3 Maria and Marathon’s, we just order the food for takeout and it’s good. I haven’t used uber eats or other delivery services with my family. I do use it with my friends sometimes though. I do enjoy eating at restaurants, it’s nice seeing people and eating in a different environment is something I really like about restaurants.
ReplyDeleteSome of my favourite restaurants include; La Perle, Baton Rouge, Moes and Scarolies. I honestly have not missed restaurants. Although I like them it's not something that is necessary in my life. During covid we did a lot of take out from. Because my parents work a lot and don't have time to cook we often order takeout instead of going to the restaurant. It takes less time and is much easier. I love the ambiance of restaurants although sometimes it gets too loud but we really only go there for special occasions
ReplyDeleteI only go to restaurants for special occasions too, good blog.
DeleteI don't really care about restaurants opening again because I only go to restaurants on very rare occasions. I have a couple family friends who own restaurants so throughout the pandemic they delivered food to my house so my family could try it. It was really exciting because they depended on our approval for possible things they could add to their restaurant. I never really ordered food because my mom always says there's food at home and she doesn't like ordering out. When restaurants open back up I want to eat out with my friends because they always make good recommendations.
ReplyDeleteI am not really looking forward to going to any restaurants as I only care about the food and we can always order the food with delivery. During Ramadan, we ordered a bunch of food so I am a bit worn out. The types of restaurants I go to are usually always the desi restaurants and maybe one pizza store we always go to which is Pizza Capital. I don’t think there is a difference between going to a restaurant and eating there or delivering food to our house and eating at home. I have never used Uber Eats nor have my parents because none of the restaurants we order from have Uber Eats. We always order from the restaurants themselves and in my opinion, there is no special feeling while going to a restaurant.
ReplyDeleteI don't really go to restaurants with my family very often, but I do enjoy eating restaurant food. I don't have a favourite restaurant but whenever I do go to restaurants it's normally with my cousins so it's always a lot of fun to see them and eat together. Whenever I do eat restaurant food with my family we normally order in advance and then pick it up. I think that since whenever I go to a restaurant, it's with my cousins, friends, or a sports team, there is always a fun memory which makes eating at restaurants special.
ReplyDeletesome restaurants i am looking forward to going to are pf changs and boss grill because they have really good gluten free options. i have never used uber eats or other delivery services, i think its pointless because it is more expensive and we can just pick it up ourselves. i do not really like going to most restaurants so i do not think the experience is special. its usually too loud, and you are using cutlery that a lot of other people have touched and i think its gross
