It was our last day in Toronto and we decided to take the long ride from our hotel by the airport into town for one last shot at what could be the best plate of nachos in Canada. I wasn't ready to say that the Beertown nachos were the best on our trip or that the Snooty Fox in Fredericton were the best in Canada. I was ready to have my mind blown and when it's your last day in a big city, you have to make it count. I wanted these nachos to be on my mind while we are trying to land in foggy Saint John and then rushing to work immediately after landing with my ears still plugged up from the plane. Plus, who knows when we will be in Toronto again? It's between Toronto or Quebec City for our fall marathon next year. They are doing a battle in my mind. We went to Squirly's because the editor did some research and saw that Squirly's might be good. This restaurant had previously closed their doors after 36 years and recently re-opened to be Squirly's 2.0. How were t...
In the summer of 2018, after biking 26km of the Kouchibouguac National Park, we were hungry for supper! Knowing that this part of the province is known for seafood and poutine and maybe even pizza, I set out to have some fried clams or poutine. Lo and behold, there were nachos on the menu. This restaurant is located in Saint-Louis-De-Kent; a few kilometres from Kouchibouguac National Park.
Distribution of Toppings
Once I took off the top layer, there were only chips. There was barely any cheese and instead of beef, they put bacon on them, and very little bacon at that. There was a little bit of veggies on them, but nothing impressive.
Quality
I never agreed with restaurants putting the dip on the nachos because there is the possibility that the person eating the nachos does not like the dip and you have ruined the nachos for them. This time it was sour cream, and I enjoyed it; however, there was only a little bit of sour cream. In addition, generally when the dip is already on the chips, it often results in soggy chips. In this case, there was no chance for soggy chips nor was there even a chance to enjoy the sour cream because there was so little. Furthermore, there was no sour cream or salsa on the side. The chips were kettle chips and I do not remember if they were even good.
Value
They were cheap but the quality was also cheap.
Quantity
These were shared and I think that even if I had them on my own, I would have ordered something else.
Conclusion
This was probably the only restaurant that served nachos in the Kouchibouguac area in the summer of 2018. If you are in Kouchibouguac, Saint-Louis-De-Kent, Richibucto, etc. please have pizza, seafood, and poutine to fuel your long bike rides and hikes in the beautiful park! The park is so underrated. The nachos? You should pass on these ones.
