Burlington Food & Strolls

Burlington Food & Strolls｜🌊 Lakeside + Persian Restaurant + Desserts 🍴 A day in Burlington: healed by lake views, won over by delicious food—happiness is that simple～ 👇 🌊 Lakeside Walk: Brant Street Pier & Lakeshore Strolling along Burlington Lakeshore is pure therapy～ The highlight is Brant Street Pier, a steel walkway stretching into the lake. Stand at the end for panoramic water views—it’s so atmospheric! A section of the lake is as green as a gemstone💎, with a small platform to climb up for better vistas. We timed it with Canada Day, so the lakeside had a food festival and performances. The aroma of fries and burgers from stalls filled the air, and the crowd buzzed with energy🇨🇦! Even though lake views can feel similar after a while, there’s something calming about walking here—the water-scented breeze, sunlight sparkling on the waves, all worries just melt away～ 🇮🇷 Persian Delights: Rayhoon Perisan Eatery Hidden in a small lane near the lake: a cute area that feels like a European town, with narrow, winding streets—reminded me of where Lasso lives in Ted Lasso in the UK! A classic red phone booth on the corner is perfect for photos📞! This Persian restaurant📍Rayhoon Perisan Eatery is a must (5 stars! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️)—packed even at 9 PM, so popular～ ✅【Ghalieh Mahi】: Spicy-sour stewed dolphinfish from southern Iran, with bright acidity and unique spices. A new flavor for me, and amazing with rice🐟! ✅【Lamb Shank with Baghali】: Slow-cooked lamb shank, fall-off-the-bone tender. The broth is fragrant enough to sip, with beans soaked in meaty goodness—so satisfying🐑! ✅【Persian Hot Chocolate】: Cardamom-spiced hot chocolate, rich and not too sweet. Would be perfect in winter～ ❌【Doogh Glass】: Tried the Persian yogurt drink, but it was so sour I winced😂. good for you, but not my cup of tea—proceed with caution! 🍰 Dessert Finale: Aroma Pastry No meal is complete without dessert!📍Aroma Pastry also gets 5 stars⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️—great value and super friendly staff～ 👉 Eclair: Crisp outer shell, light creamy filling, just the right sweetness—can’t stop at one～ 👉 Pistachio croissant: Flaky layers stuffed with rich pistachio cream, nutty and perfect with tea🥐! 👉 Turkey sandwich: Fresh and light, with soft bread—ideal for brunch～ 👉 Orange pekoe tea: Tea with a hint of orange, smooth and refreshing—great for cutting richness☕️! #PersianFood#Croissant#burlingtonDesserts#TorontoAreaTrips
