La Marina Resto Bar — Restaurant in Saint-Jean-Port-Joli

Today's just going to be a 5⭐ kind of day.. the weather was fine, we got maybe the best spot on the porch in my book, and possibly the best vegetarian meal I've had.. I'm a meat eater but listen if you make it to this restaurant you will not regret ordering the tofu dragon bowl.. full of quinoa, veggies, loads of edamame & let me just say they KNOW how to do tofu, something I have not yet mastered.. I ordered a big pretzel just cuz and mama ordered the smoke meat sammie... portions good, excellent service, ambiance both inside and out was warm & inviting.. only suggestion would be a couple of red wine options by the glass would be nice.. thx Marina for a wonderful lunch.. I'm bringing the big guy next time, I'm bringing hubby.. stay sharp on...

When we complained (afterward because it took us a while to realize), they offered a free dessert.... We do not eat desser!

Anyway, poke bowls at 33$ for almost a half portion and margaritas at 15$....

Don't get me wrong, it was delicious, but you need to know that it is...

Had ribs for dinner, which came came with a very basic salad and crisps. I may be wrong, but the sauce on the ribs didn't taste home made. The cost was $31 Canadian, which I thought was quite steep for the small amount of meat one got. Quite nice atmosphere, but if you eat inside the electric blenders, they were using...
