You got to love eating at a place that supports local business. The Nith River Chop House uses all local meats, veggies, apple butter and even the bread comes from across the road from a neighbouring bakery. After an entertaining interview with the chef, Matthew Cressey, I was told that they even grow some of their own herbs and he explained how every ingredient used is fresh. In the top 10 restaurants of all of Waterloo Region, they were ranked a very impressive #8 by Squidoo! One of their specialties that got them there is the incredible schnitzel.
The atmosphere is awesome as the place is tastefully decorated in a western country theme.
This bakery has been around for a long time and has an excellent reputation. It is one of the unique small businesses in Waterloo region. You can also find Norris bakery creations at the local KW market which is downtown Kitchener, Ontario.
When you go , you have to try their famous Long John’s!
Norris Bakery is located at 460 Fredrick St. Kitchener, Ontario. For more info go to www.norrisbakery.com
The “Kissing bridge” located in West Montrose, Ontario and spans across the Grand River on a road that between Guelph and Elmira. It is the only covered bridge left in Ontario
When it was built back in 1881, a local bridge keeper would keep the kerosene lanterns lit nightly and helped with snow shovelling so horse drawn sleighs could pass through. Today, local residences living near the bridge volunteer their time and maintain the bridge, painting and help keeping it clean. There are many different stories about how the bridge got its name of “Kissing Bridge”. I was told that if you kiss under the bridge your love will last forever!
Today the bridge is still closed and being assessed by engineers for safety reasons. The bridge suffered a broken beam in the structure caused by wear and tear of overweight vehicles crossing. There is talk of having load sensors and cameras on the bridge to protect it from unauthorized oversized loads
