My Kingston favourites

To make it on my favourite list, I must have eaten there in the last year and enjoyed it. Furthermore, I must have eaten there at least 3 times in the last 2 years and must have never been disappointed.

Coffee- Coffeeco – There are two locations in Kingston, my favourite being in the Kingston Centre. They make a good mocha and a lovely latte. The cappuccino was not that impressive. It is the only place where they produce steamed milk that is of good enough quality to make latte art. Also, they use the wonderfully locally roasted Multatuli beans. They also support the environment (Bullfrog energy, composting, renewable stuff, etc etc). 1046 Princess Street, Kingston, Ontario. www.coffeeco.ca

Cheap asian- Royal Ankor – Cheap and filling, you can’t go wrong with this Cambodian place. Service can be a bit slow though. 523 Princess St. Kingston, ON, 613-544-9268. Read my review here.

Sushi- Sima Sushi – While Akira was my former favourite, Sima Sushi has become my go-to place for sushi downtown. Fresh fish, great service, and an honest desire to serve the best product to the community as possible. I love Sima. I’ve eaten there 9 times in the past 5 months. 66 Princess Street, Kingston, ON, (613) 542-8040. My review is here.

Pub- Iron Duke – The cleanest pub in Kingston. It doesn’t have the grimy feel that the other pubs have. They make an interesting Caesar called the Old Nosey Caesar which is a double, has horseradish and seafood sauce, and pickled vegetables. It is quite a meal. 207 Wellington Street, Kingston, ON, 613-542-4244. www.ironduke.ca,

Upscale- Aqua Terra – There are many higher end places in Kingston but this one is the most consistent. Their menu could use a little updating (I used to visit often and found that I’d tried most of the menu already) but the view is great and the food is fresh and tasty. Aqua Terra, 1 Johnson St., Kingston, ON, 613-549-6243. Read my review here.
