Yesterday was our Canadian Thanksgiving and we celebrated in style. I did not want to spend one whole day of my week with Andre cooking a Thanksgiving dinner that I guaranteed we would have spent the rest of the week eating leftovers because I don't cook small. So we went looking for a place to have dinner.
I had originally thought that we would eat at La Neuva Posada by the lake which is put on by the Canadian club and was $215 pesos each person but when I went to buy tickets they were sold out.
Plan B was I found a second restaurant called Manix in the Ajijic village on Ocampo and they were having a Canadian Thanksgiving dinner for $130 pesos each. I was thrilled to have not gotten tickets at La Neuva Posada.
We had us included Andre, Kristen and my grandmother and me and then we invited our neighbours and friends T and Ed and then I invited Rafael who is Kristen's tutor. He is such a wonderful man and he was a great addition to our table.
We had a choice of Carrot soup or Salad for starters, then our dinner had Turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, broccoli and gravy. They served us bread and butter as well and Mexican butter is so sweet and amazing. I could have had so much more.
Half of us had wine with our dinner and when we ordered a second glass they came and brought the wine to to the table and poured just like you would do at home. The restaurant also looked so homey so it was a perfect spot for our Thanksgiving.
Desert was a choice of Pumpkin or Pecan pie. Both werre amazing but I ordered the Pumpkin which after asking if it came with a lot of whipped cream, mine was piled high. Hilarious.
All in all our dinner for 7 with drinks and coffees came to $1,125 pesos which I thought was a total bargain.
Happy Thanksgiving.
