🍽️ Queen's University Kingston Food Guide 🥰
After spending half a year in Canada (and surviving some truly questionable "Asian" food), here's my ultimate Kingston restaurant roundup—because Bob's Happy Dry Pot was basically my lifeline. 📍 Brunch Spots 1️⃣ Lay Low Solid brunch! Fresh fruit with waffles 🧇 + good coffee. 2️⃣ Pan Chancho BEST BRUNCH IN TOWN. That dish in the photo? Chef’s kiss. Skip the overly thick smoothie though. 3️⃣ Northside Espresso Coffee = 👍 | Brunch = 👎 (French toast = sugar bomb 💣). 📍 Dinner Must-Tries 4️⃣ Tango Nuevo Kingston’s hottest Spanish spot 💃. Pricey but worth it: Must-order: Snowflake foie gras, garlic shrimp, steak. 5️⃣ Union Kitchen Authentic Italian 🍝 (maybe too authentic—Carbonara = salt overload 💦). 6️⃣ Miss Bao Overpriced but has gems: Bao buns = elite, Japanese fried chicken = crispy goodness. Avoid the "Tantan noodles" and their tragic cocktails 🤮. 7️⃣ Chez Piggy Highlights: Fresh oysters 🦪, duck confit (Montreal-level good!), tender lamb leg. Skip: Desserts—diabetes in a bite. 📍 Korean Food (My True Love) 8️⃣ Gangnam Style My KST cafeteria. Everything slaps: Kimchi fried rice 🏆 (loaded with cheese + meat). Pork donkatsu (2 massive cutlets = lunch and dinner). Bulgogi (juicy, flavorful, rice-worthy). Pro tip: Avoid takeout tteokbokki—soggy disappointment. 9️⃣ PodoNamu Korean Cuisine Chicken Mayo = GOD TIER. Like salad-coated popcorn chicken over rice—I’ll dream about this. Beef bulgogi = solid, but smaller portions than Gangnam. Fried rice cake = $7 steal! Final Thoughts: Writing this made me nostalgic—see you soon, Canada 👋. #Queen’sU #KingstonON #KingstonEats #CanadianFoodie
