Kissing Couple Restaurant Review - Tito's Bistro and Cafe

Amanda took me out for lunch on Saturday at Tito's Bistro & Cafe.  I'd never been there, and Amanda commented that the place and its menu seemed interesting to her.  I agreed that it sounded like a good idea, and off we went.


I had beef shawarma and Amanda had beef souvlaki and a frappe, and we both also had rice and caesar salad.  I really enjoyed mine -- the shawarma was hot and tasty, and the caesar salad was fresh.  Amanda enjoyed her souvlaki but thought the rice wasn't incredibly exciting.


The decor of Tito's was attractive, and the staff was friendly enough.  We did have to wait for Amanda's souvlaki (I chose to wait for my lunch with her), but to be fair, we were both really hungry so it probably seemed like an even longer wait than it was.


It cost us a little over $30 for the two of us -- more than we would've spent for lunch at most of our usual haunts, but we did enjoy ourselves and our lunches.


The only real downside to Tito's is that it's not very close to most of our normal places of visit.  It's downtown, but still a few blocks away from anywhere we visit downtown on even a semi-regular basis.


Will we return?  If we're downtown around lunchtime and hungry, I could see us returning to Tito's.  Do I see us going out of our way to specifically eat there again though?  That's a good question.

Kissing Couple Restaurant Review - Chopped Leaf

Amanda and I took this photo earlier this afternoon, just after we'd finished eating lunch at the Chopped Leaf.  While we were eating, I joked that all the people outside who saw the *world-famous* Kissing Couple of Grande Prairie eating there would mob the restaurant from then on.  From there, we talked briefly about how it might be interesting to review restaurants we visit on the blog.

We'd never eaten at the Chopped Leaf before, but were both impressed with the place.  My chicken caesar wrap was very good -- hot chicken, fresh lettuce, and it tasted amazing.  Amanda tried the BBQ chicken quesadilla and really enjoyed it.  Just about everything on the menu sounded great -- I stood there for five or six minutes after Amanda had already decided on her lunch, and I didn't even consider the option of designing my own salad/wrap.

The Chopped Leaf is near Michael's, so it'll be handy whenever Amanda and I need more yarn for our knitting projects, and best of all, for the two of us it only cost four or five dollars more than it would've to go to a fast food place.  In short, we're definitely planning a trip back there on a future weekend when I'm in Grande Prairie!

Now, I don't know that we'll be doing many of these restaurant reviews...  What's more, they won't ever be insulting, negative reviews.  If there's a place we enjoy eating, we might bring it to your attention -- that's all.

We're all done our running around for the weekend, but we took a handful of photos, and I'll be posting them over the course of the next week, so please check back!
