Food happenings on Canada's West Coast

You've been starved for a new resto, but I'm guessing you haven't set your sites on Nanaimo, British Columbia. Sure, it's tucked up along the coast and not all that easy to get to. But the restaurants are eclectic and more than a little fun.

Mon Petit ChoixMon Petit ChoixBreakfast is simply breakfast until you've visited Mon Petit Choix. My advice? Start with a healthy quiche, and move along quickly to decadence that will make the whole trip worth it!

 

If you start the day off throwing caution and calories toMon Petit ChoixMon Petit Choix the wind, maintain, girlfriend! After all, once you've sinned, there's no sense repenting until you've got it out of your system.

Get yourself to lunch at Minnoz - and make sure to get a table by big windows in the lounge - much cozier than the actual restaurant. The tapas menu isn't the bite-sized delicacies that you might get in New York - and deep fried seems to be a food group here.

My advice; pair the nibbles with one of their dark, MinnozMinnozGerman beers.

Sadly my favorite place to finish off a great day closed in December, but they're looking for a new location. Mermaid LoungeMermaid LoungeThe Mermaid's Mug is/was a strange but delish lounge that looked more like an octopus' lair than a restaurant. If you're heading to Nanaimo, keep an eye on their Facebook page. Michelle Kaiser, owner and original gypsy mermaid has been doing a good job keepingĀ fans up to date.

Got a fav recommendation from your travels! Leave a comment and share your travel treasures!

  • On 5 Nudist Resorts that Will Blow Your Mind, Tom Mulhall said "Hi Julia, Thanks, I remember your story about us too, thank you very much about it. Because we're the most mainstream nudist resort out west and perfect for first time couples trying topless or nude sunbathing and the most popular nudist resort in California, a lot of times people forget we're also one of the most luxurious because we're so affordable. We're able to keep our rates affordable because we cater to vacationers around the world and are busy 7 days a week, instead of just catering to the local Southern Californian market on weekends. Julia, Feel free visiting our resort someday. We would love to show you it and you can experience for yourself why we're the most popular place out west. You can call and ask for me personally. Tom"

  • On 5 Nudist Resorts that Will Blow Your Mind, Julia Rosien said "Thanks for stopping by, Tom and reminding me about the Terra Cotta Inn. I've written about this beautiful spot in California: http://gogirlfriend.com/reviews/top-10-clothing-optional-resorts-exposed-12930 - and it's nice to hear the inn is still going strong. Always love to hear from my readers! Julia"

  • On 5 Nudist Resorts that Will Blow Your Mind, Tom Mulhall said "Hi Julia, Great choices. However, you left out one of the best choices for couples and girlfriend vacations. You forgot The Terra Cotta Inn clothing optional resort and spa in sunny Palm Springs, CA. Some people still enjoy paying lots of money for their vacations. But nowadays most people now look for the best value for their vacation dollars, not bragging rights on how much they overpaid. And the Terra Cotta Inn is perfect. That's why repeat guests from around the world will fly only there for their naturist vacations I realize you could only include 5 places in your story, and not everyone always wants to know about the popular resorts that everyone wants to go to, but I bet your readers will thank you for telling them about Terra Cotta Inn."
