A light lunch in Nanaimo

A five minute walk from our townhouse is one of our favourite places to go out for a light lunch on a warm sunny day.  The reason I say a warm sunny day is because we sit outside, and Sid gets the bowl of chilli from Tim Hortons and I get sushi from next door at Umai Sushi.

Then we meet at a little table on the sidewalk under the shade of a little tree. We share a cup of Japanese barley tea with our meal; mild and perfect with anything.

I like a little box of ready to take out California rolls and yam rolls if I’m not too hungry.  The meals on their menu are delicious too if you’re a bit hungrier, and the restaurant is cozy and nicely decorated.

The famous-in-Canada Tim Hortons chain started out mostly with coffee and donuts years ago. Now they serve all kinds of breakfast, lunch and snack foods over the counter. Donuts of all sorts and muffins, breakfast or lunch sandwiches on biscuits or croissants, soups and chilli that comes with a freshly baked bun.  The chilli is full of vegetables like green peppers, tomatoes and mushrooms along with ground beef and beans. 

A hearty lunch for only a few dollars  each!
