- c0ldfusi0n, on 11/24/2007, -0/+17The Haunted House kicks ass. It's a really weird feeling to know that the person who serves your food is also paid to try and scare the living ***** out of you.
- jennmae, on 11/24/2007, -1/+18Salt tasting room is awesome, one of my fav restaurants in Vancouver...I'm not sure that I'd call it weird though.
- boodaa, on 11/24/2007, -0/+12I'd have to have at least 5 garlic martinis before I'd stick a chocolate covered garlic clove in my mouth.
- jeremymccurdy, on 11/24/2007, -0/+11There used to be a Super Mario restaurant in a small town, called St Felicien, in Quebec I lived in for a few years. Everything had a Mario Bros themed name and there were pictures of Mario and Luigi all over the walls. The place was actually pretty rundown, but when I was seven, that place seemed like the best restaurant on earth. It's not as wierd as some of those, but it definitely left a strong impression.
- revnoah, on 11/24/2007, -0/+10Somehow the rainforest concept gets lost inside a giant mall
- papavb, on 11/24/2007, -0/+10poutine is fries with cheese curds and gravy on top (sry if someone already said this, not going to expand this ***** comment system just to see)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poutine - inactive, on 11/24/2007, -1/+10Yeah, except you'd just get stabbed in the face. Scared people with knives tend to do that.
- Jpeg2600, on 11/24/2007, -1/+10awesome! me and my friend are going to the O'noir -- NOW.
I'll give you feedbacks in a few hours - evilregis, on 11/24/2007, -0/+8Dugg for London. Garlic's is a great place to eat! If you are ever in the area, I do suggest it... and Under the Volcano.
- quiznos, on 11/24/2007, -1/+9I went to Haunted House a few years ago on a school trip. Without a doubt one of the most entertaining experiences of my life. One of the actors/waiters kept asking me for ether, and would inhale a mist that would come out of the floor.. and instead of putting the dinner rolls on the table he machinegunned them at my face.
Another guy played the piano with his toes while upside down.
In short, go there. - inactive, on 11/24/2007, -1/+9You have no idea what a poutine is.
- echinda, on 11/24/2007, -0/+7It's a chain and is in the US as well as Canada. Nothing weird about it.
- asauterChicago, on 11/24/2007, -0/+7wait... a "garlic party"?? Is that what the kid's are doing these days? In the good old days you would just get some strippers and beer.
- samuel514, on 11/24/2007, -0/+7I just have great comments of friends about the Haunted house... a great place to go eat and have fun in Montreal
- profOblivion, on 11/24/2007, -0/+6You know, now that you mention it, I can't remember ever having one with maple...
For those who don't know what's going on, deep fried beavertails are a delicacy in some parts of Canada (i.e., Ottawa and a limited selection of other places). By which I of course mean fried pastry covered in various toppings, the classic variety being with cinnamon and sugar. Deeeeelicious.
*****, I want one now. *leaves* - arsheroica, on 11/24/2007, -1/+7Buried for separatist *****, and for being totally incorrect on all counts.
- staffrocket, on 11/24/2007, -1/+6Quebec is part of Canada there buddy.. The more you know!
- Bonesy17, on 11/24/2007, -11/+16How are these weird? The Haunted House is an extremely fun restaurant to dine at. From this list, I don't see a reason for calling them "weird".
The definition of weird is Mike Ditka's "Deep fried chicken Salad" or the "Cheeseburger and Fries Pizza" which are U.S. entrees.
Looks like someone was trying to play the "Canadians, Eh?" card and failed horribly. Now if you'll excuse me, I've got to go back to my igloo and cook me up a Maple Syrup sandwich..... - biznatch11, on 11/24/2007, -0/+4I've had the garlic ice cream...garlic does not belong in ice cream! but it's still a great place.
- grantmoore3d, on 11/24/2007, -0/+42 hours have past since you posted.... I'm still waiting for that feedback!!! :P
- Malarie, on 11/24/2007, -0/+4I was a separatist when I was a teenager. I so wanted to have my country, now that i am a grown up, i am more smart, more mature and i will never separate from Canada. We have a beautiful country, The people up here are very nice.
But still.. Screw Ontarians! ;) - supermanKD, on 11/24/2007, -0/+4Yeah small town Canada eH! Your joke would've been funny if it wasn't as dumb as your president... eH!
- inactive, on 11/24/2007, -1/+5Be warned that restaurants service is ludicrously slow in Montreal. Not suited for your one hour lunch break during the work day. Waiters are synchronized to the schedule of customers on welfare or something.
- inactive, on 11/24/2007, -1/+5Fries, gravy and cheese. But a special kind of cheese.
Looks like this: http://blog.francis.vachon.net/poutine-Ashton.jpg - landrewparker, on 11/24/2007, -1/+5Or "nestled in cobbled streets"...
- revnoah, on 11/24/2007, -0/+4Poutine is amazing, especially in Quebec! I once had poutine and eggs for breakfast at a greasy spoon in Quebec, best I've ever had. I think that's pronounced "Freedom Gravy" in "American".
- WaterDragon, on 11/24/2007, -4/+8"O.NOIR is Canada’s first restaurant to invite you to dine in the dark! With not a ray gone astray, your visual sense essentially shuts down, heightening your other senses. Notable beneficiaries? Your taste buds. The blind staff will keep you safe and savouring all evening long."
Q: What do you do when your restaurant has a really bad insect problem in the kitchen?
A: Get people to dine in the dark! (And hire a blind wait staff.)
Problem solved. (For the creepy owner, anyhow.)
"I want to talk to the manager. Where is he?"
--"He's across the street, having lunch." - echinda, on 11/24/2007, -0/+4Dugg for knocking the comment system
- mattewood, on 11/24/2007, -0/+3That's it? We've got way more interesting and sketchy restaurants in Canada, than just those simple selections.
- MikeonTV, on 11/24/2007, -0/+3Next to Garlics in London is The Tasting Room. I would recommend that place first!
- CrimsonFlash, on 11/24/2007, -0/+3Nice! I live in London. I have always wanted to go to Garlic's. But I hear they are expensive, and I = cheap.
- 808kick, on 11/24/2007, -0/+3Maybe you have never heard of the concept of enjoying your meal. Take your time enjoy the food and drink a bottle of wine.
- TwiceHephaestus, on 11/24/2007, -0/+3Garlic's is more than just garlic though. Amazing food, nice atmosphere. I would bring a date there again.
- N00F, on 11/24/2007, -0/+3Here in Ottawa there's a burger joint called "The Works" You can get some STRANGE burgers there. Macaroni & Cheese burger, Peanut Butter burger and even an Eggplant burger, to name a few.
http://www.worksburger.com/ - JuliaGulia77, on 11/24/2007, -2/+4I don't see how these are weird..
- revnoah, on 11/24/2007, -0/+2Was surprised to see Garlic's on the list as well. Not quite that strange; very nice decor though.
Under The Volcano sucks, I don't recommend it. Skip Mexican altogether - the best latino restaurant remains El Ranchito (El Salvadorian). - quiznos, on 11/25/2007, -0/+2considering the article is about weird restaurants, i don't think it was necessary.
- RedSaber, on 11/26/2007, -0/+2Well that's not a point either. That's like telling your girlfriend what pisses you off about her or that you wanna break-up. There's NEVER a good time to talk about it.
- FadieZ, on 11/24/2007, -0/+2I've had lunch there and I asked myself the same question. There are still health inspectors who visit regularly. Nothing to worry about, really. I just find it creepy that the staff were looking at us and we couldn't see them.
- gbarberi, on 11/24/2007, -0/+2Haunted House, I have been to something like that in New York City: Jeckyll and Hyde.
- philippec, on 11/24/2007, -0/+2aahh ça me donne faim...
- pmace, on 11/24/2007, -0/+2Me too - Jekyll & Hyde Club on Avenue of the Americas... very cool place to go for drinks. Like all other theme restaurants in Manhattan, the food absolutely sucks.
- Seidoger, on 11/24/2007, -0/+2Most of the staff is blind though
- Scheissen, on 11/24/2007, -4/+6All of canada.
- SPLASTiK, on 11/24/2007, -0/+2La Casa Gelato in Vancouver is known for having weird flavors. They have over 200 on display (free samples!) and rotate between over 500.
Garlic, balsamic vinegar, curry, wasabi, corn, guinness beer are amoung them. I'm a big fan of their Wildberry-Jalapeno pepper flavor... my friend is in love with their corn. - grantmoore3d, on 11/24/2007, -0/+2But oh man is it delicious mmmmmm... I wish I had one right now.
- phronko, on 11/24/2007, -0/+2Yeah, like, what restaurant DOESN'T have moving tables and pitch darkness these days?
- jjremy, on 11/24/2007, -0/+2I can't get over the word curds. Why can't it just be cheese? It ruins the whole thing for me.
- RyanCoke, on 11/24/2007, -0/+2Garlic's isn't weird at all. Fantastic food - try the Green Curry Chicken.
Only certain things have a garlic spin on them. It's the homemade butters that they serve that really rule. Hot Pepper and Apricot butter, you wouldn't think would taste great, but.. - jmignea2, on 11/24/2007, -0/+2Ottawa does in fact have beaver tails covered with maple syrup. They are amazing. In fact, if anyone here visits Ottawa in the winter you need to skate on the canal and have a beaver tail.
Speaking of "weird" restaurants and Ottawa, we have a local burger chain called The Works that is just amazing. They have every topping you can imagine including Kraft Dinner (macaroni and cheese for you Americans) and peanut butter. -
