I was fiddling around on a road trip with a buddy, Mike. He's often pretty particular about his food and we had driven in from Montrealand I remembered seeing a bunch of quaint looking places in vankleek Hill on the way to driving over to the brewery up from Hawkesbury Ontario and we hit a corner street figuratively speaking of course :-) LOL that had a woman putting out a sign saying book saleand my buddy Mike is a big big book reader. So we followed the sign and the lady and parked in the back of the church went in bought a few CDs for me and he didn't buy any books much to my surprise! But I was happy and then across the street or just down a bit was this joint named Niko'sand among three different recommendations by the church ladies and one of the church ladies sons who just walked in and finished eating there, we were told that was a pretty good place and so we pick that.. inside it's far less pretentious then they're lovely signage outside.... But what it did have is really decent food, especially breakfast menu, served quickly efficiently and with great charm from the waitress and we found out that was the owner and his wife further down at a few. we ended up speaking to them about running a restaurant of this type and all the work involved when it's a family business. My buddy Mike grew up in a family business that also have to do with books, surprise surprise LOL. I really found the food to be decent and tasty and have that homemade feel to it. Did I remember saying they got farm fresh eggs or something like that?!? whatever it was it was perfect for the moment and if I'm in vankleek Hill again and need to have a decent bite, then my food enjoyment radar will drive me right there. I've been exploring the restaurants of Hawkesbury Ontario and now I'm starting vankleek Hill explorations. this is a good standard fare restaurant with simple chairs and tables and a hard-working staff with good food. as a matter of fact remembering it my mouth is watering cuz it's Saturday morning at 11 and I haven't even had my coffee yet so I'm going to whip up some good food thinking of theirs.
