Day 13: Restaurant Madrid

Here is a list of facts:

  1. I am in Canada. Quebec City to be specific.
  2. It took 10 hours to get here driving. Yes there were numerous stops but it totally took 10 hours.
  3. The restaurant/truck stop we stopped at on the way up has potentially changed my life.
Allow me to introduce you to Restaurant Madrid



Now, this is important, look closely at the picture. What do you see? 

Dinosaurs. 

Let me repete. You see DINOSAURS.


I ask you, if you were in my position, driving down the highway and you pass by a restaurant/truck stop that has multiple dinosaurs just sort of hanging out in front of it, what would you do? I certainly could not pass up patronizing such a fine establishment and it was pretty much the most hilarious decision ever.

Bob and I initially passed by it, our jaws dropped in awe. But we quickly regained our composure, turned around and raced to the restaurant parking lot, which was entirely surrounded by dinosaurs, thus making it the best parking lot in the history of the world. 

Upon braving the restaurant itself, we were immediately confronted with no less than 4 video arcade games and a bunch of gumball machines. Walking past these, you enter a small, desperately in need of a face lift, restaurant that has tv's, more video games, pictures of dinosaurs and caricatures of the owners on the walls, and a very random fish tank just sort of hanging out. To help you get a better visual, imagine standing in a 6 year old boys dream bedroom and add some hamburgers, tired truckers, and cranky waitstaff and that is where I had dinner tonight.

Oh, and the restaurant has monster trucks too.


Overall: All of you need to get into your preferred modes of transportation right now and drive up to Autoroute 20E immediately to support this amazing piece of Canada. The food is kind of blah but with an abundance of dinosaurs, monster trucks, and video games, who cares?! I will be stopping there on the way back. It was that funny.

Until Tomorrow,
Cat!

P.S.
