Dining Out: Rangoli’s in Brantford

The Dining out Group likes to stay close to home in the winter months so we were delighted to learn about a new East Indian Restaurant in Brantford called Rangoli’s.  The colourful art on the wall is  joyful, as is the music.  The food was delicious (a few of us were grateful for a dish of yogurt to cool down the tandoori dishes)!  We recommend this restaurant for its good food, relaxed atmosphere, lovely setting and charming staff.

Dining out group

Our Dining out group went to Pinecroft yesterday…. A quintessential autumn delight. The drive on the backroads included fields of pumpkins and forests in dazzling reds, oranges and golds. Pinecroft is a cluster of log cabins nestled in the woods, complete with pottery studio, gift shop and restaurant. The food was sourced locally and beautifully prepared. Homemade soups, grilled cheese and BLTs, top notch Caesar salad (possibly my new gold standard!), and so much more. I think we were high on autumn because the laughter and joy at the table was ….delicious!

Gran Sasso a hit with Dining Out group

The dining out group enjoyed dinner at Gran Sasso in Brantford on November 10th.  The restaurant is quaint and the food is authentic fare from the region of Italy that bears the same name.  We enjoyed bruschetta, with pasta, pork, lamb, or  pizza, as main courses, and Cannoli or Panna Cotta for dessert.  Once again, it was a wonderful evening of animated conversation and much laughter.
