Squirly's: Toronto, Ontario

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...

Water's Edge Resto Bar Grill: Charlottetown, PEI

Water's Edge Resto Bar Grill is located inside the Delta Hotel in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island. I spent a lot of time drinking a lot of Corona Zeroes (I emptied their stock) and just having some great conversations before and after running the Charlottetown Marathon. They were some of the friendliest servers and bartenders that I have experienced in a long time and they really made my stay feel special. After I ran the marathon, it was time to have some nachos. What could be better than a plate of nachos after running for 5+ hours? (Hope for it to be 3+ hours, but that's a story in itself) 

Water's Edge Resto Bar Grill Beef Nachos - October 2025

Distribution of Toppings

I would give the distribution of toppings a 4/5. It was not perfect as there were some bare chips left over, but I was satisfied with it. There were lots of dips for the chips in case there was a chip with nothing on it! There was also some queso with multiple layer distribution. 

Quality

I found that the beef was a bit bland and dry and the guacamole was also plain jane but still pretty good. There was good toast factor and the nachos were cooked through. The overall taste was good and the chips were fresh and crunchy.

Quantity

After marathons, I am not overly hungry so I think this was sufficient to share for lunch afterwards. I was very hungry by supper! 

Service

I absolutely loved the service at the Delta. They were efficient but they went above and beyond in friendliness. I would love to stay at the Delta again next time I'm in Charlottetown because the service was just that good at the bar and at the restaurant. 

Conclusion

The nachos were pretty plain jane overall, but they were decent, especially after burning about 4,000 calories that morning! I hope they stock the fridge with many Corona Zeroes for my next visit!
