An Afternoon at The Office

This past weekend, I saw one of my high school best friends, Rima, walk across the graduation stage and get her diploma. I made a special trip to Toronto and then Rima, Sonia, Lovejeet, and I made a road trip to St. Catherine's on Thursday evening just to see her convocate on Friday morning. Running on about 3-4 hours of sleep, we were all tired and were starving by the time her ceremony concluded. Just before we left for Toronto Friday afternoon, we made a quick stop at one of R's favorite places to eat, The Office, for a very late (but deserved) lunch.

When she talked about it, I don't know what I was picturing but I can tell you that it was nowhere close to how the restaurant actually looked. As you walk in, the first thing that draws your attention is the bar and the wonderful painting done above it. The whole place itself was nice and quaint but not too small. The bar, however, stole the show for me.

Aside from the bar, I also liked that the restaurant had a separate Vegan menu--and this menu wasn't just a list of 3-4 things. It was a page long! There were a lot of choices and it seemed like the owners had put a lot of thought and creativity into the restaurant.

Patiently waiting for our food...

Not really because our stomachs were literally growling with need of sustenance. ...Or was that just me?

But it came soon!

The food was delicious and in the end, four little piggies piled in to the car and drove away to the big city, fuelled up and happy.
