Pancakes with Sausages
The famous Finnish pancakes!
They're nice and thin with a crispy edge. Contrary to what it looks like in the picture, there's actually 3 layers of the thin pancakes and it's pretty filling.

Thunder Bay - the most populous city in Northern Ontario (after Sudbury). It's a 18 hour drive up to Thunder Bay from Toronto (but a two hour flight!)
It was really foggy and a little gloomy when we arrived...
My first time seeing Bearskin airlines! I've only ever heard about it:
We grabbed lunch at a popular local establishment that has been around since 1918 in the basement of the historic Finnish Labour Temple building:
The building is still in good condition considering it's more than 100 years old.
The placemats double as a souvenier and a menu:
Fresh Rye bread
It was really nice, soft and came with real butter!
Clubhouse sandwich with French fries and gravy $10.50
The fries were plentiful! Not too oily and nice with the thick gravy. The sandwich was huge as well.
Lohiperuna loatikko $9.25
Salmon casserole
Salmon was salty and delicious and it was complemented perfectly by the scalloped potatoes. There was a good balance between the starchy potatoes and salty well-done salmon.
I love their coleslaw too, it was tasty with a creamy texture.
Overall: Great place for a meal in Thunder Bay! It was my first time trying Finnish food and I left feeling full and satisfied. Definitely great value for money considering the portion size and the tasty food.
I love your food blog! I happened across it a while back when trying to locate an online menu for Sushi Bong. Now I can't stop reading all the local restaurant reviews. Great job!
ReplyDeleteThanks! It started out as a food journal (since I kept forgetting what I ate, where I ate it and whether or not it was good enough to go back). I'm glad you're enjoying it!
