Visiting Autumn Leaves

Do you have a Cambodian trip report you want to share? Post it here, and feel free to link to your blog if it's a travel blog for Cambodia, South East Asia, or anywhere really. You can ask and answer questions about travel advice in Cambodia or just share your pictures and videos with us. Most people who live in or visit Cambodia have also checked out nearby countries like Vietnam, Thailand, Laos, Myanmar, Malaysia, Indonesia and the Philippines, and you can get to most of these countries by traveling overland, so put any travel plans, reviews or questions here. Discussions about dirt bike trails in here as well.

So previous Monday (26th Sep) we left the Glen House in the White Mountains for Quebec. On the way there we stopped by a wonderful restaurant for brunch J's Corner

Very busy restaurant during lunch, there's no table so we sat at the bar

After the lunch we continued our drive entering Canada via Stanstead border crossing. While leaving the US there's no immigration check you simply drive on and hit the Canadian side of the border crossing passport control. There was only 1 car in front of the queue. When it was my turn I simply gave the officer our passports and showed him QR code (on my phone) that we received after filling up a form online with the ArriveCAN app. Then we're off, about 2 minutes I'd say.

Then it was a 3hrs drive to our hotel in Quebec

Next day we decided to have Indian food for lunch. We Googled and there was a Royal Tandori so we went.

On arrival we found ourselves in a "not so nice" neighbourhood. Its like the houses are really old and streets dirty how shall I say? Hate to say this but yes its like a "low income" neighbourhood. First reaction was regret as I don't think such a place will have nice and authentic Indian food.

Anyway since we arrived let's do it
Image

Inside also looked old but we were immediately welcomed by a very nice aroma of Indian spices really wonderful fragrant
Image

but is clean I must say
Image

We were the only customer, again a feeling of regret
Image

The chicken buryani came first
Image

Naan
Image

Beef curry
Image

Lamb curry
Image

Oh wonderful lamb
Image

Spinach
Image



Finally I highly recommend this very authentic Indian restaurant if you are looking for one in Quebec. A real gem we found.

They say all visitors to Quebec have to visit the Old Quebec, so this is it.

This is a beautiful and historical part of Quebec

In my experience usually the best ethnic food places are exactly in "shadier" parts of town.

So it was our first time in Canada and Quebec of course, kind of strange for us to see everything in French like we're in Europe hahahaha

Nice experience in McDonalds (in french)
