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

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

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

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)

Apparently gasoline in Canada is more expensive compared to the US. Americans are so lucky.

On our last day in Canada we are supposed to leave Toronto then visit Niagara Falls and then drive back to the States (Scranton to be exact, Joe Biden's birthplace)

Leaving Toronto in the morning for Niagara we passed by a rest place and decided to have brunch there.

Saw a Pakistani food shop who serves only take away, Zeerah

I love Pakistani biryani so I went into the store.

Ordering counter

I explained to the owner a lady that I love Pakistani food and asked her if she will allow us to eat there, she told us they only serve with food packed and told us if we don't mind we can stay and eat there

So this was what we got

Opening them - Chicken biryani, beef curry, chicken curry, spinach

The biryani.

All I can say is this is one of the best meals we had in terms of the quality and taste. I highly recommend.
