It's a special day. My husband is having his Oath of Citizenship Ceremony today as the final step in becoming a Canadian citizen. So to celebrate, we decided to have English food for breakfast, French cuisine for lunch, and Indigenous specialty for dinner in honour of the three groups that founded Canada: the aboriginal (First Nations, Inuit, and Metis people), the French, and the British. We also took the day off today, so a break from work.
For lunch today, we walked to nearby Marché Mon Pitou, a French café, bistro,
and special grocer.
Lunch at Marché Mon Pitou |
Hubby ordered the Croque Madame while I enjoyed Bouillabaisse Risotto. If you
can only pick one from their brunch and lunch menu, I think the Croque Madame
is delicious. However, if we didn't have eggs for breakfast, I would have chosen the Le
Mon Pitou, so I opted for the Risotto on the lunch menu.
Bouillabaisse Risotto Creamy Risotto cooked in a 24-hour bouillabaisse broth topped with fresh seafood, including spot prawns, clams, and squid. |
Croque Madame A French classic-warm ham and cheese sandwich topped with béchamel, gruyère, & a fried free-range egg. Served with toasted greens. |
I chose the Cold Pressed Orange Juice for drinks while my hubby had the
Noisette.

If you're in the area and want delicious food, Marché Mon Pitou is an excellent option.
