Tip: This place offers a lunch portion of halibut with chips and coleslaw, which is perfect when you don't feel like a massive meal.
This year, I have been discovering Halibut House Fish and Chips locations outside of Markham. It has been fun figuring out that many are in Durham region.
Last Saturday, I decided to visit the Brooklin-Whitby area. I had lunch at this Halibut House.
This eatery is located in a plaza with a Longo's, Booster juice, COBS Bread, and more. I found a parking spot fairly close to the eatery. I backed my car into the spot and then walked in to this restaurant.
The sign said to seat myself. So, I did. I grabbed a booth in a corner, with a window view.
My server was Sopheak, who was attentive, communicative, and nice. He came over with a menu and asked if I wanted a drink.
I ordered water. I also asked if this place had Coke or Pepsi products. It has both. I went with a Diet Pepsi. I got another one halfway through my meal, as one can wasn't enough.
I didn't feel like my usual massive portion of halibut and chips. I suppose that a combination of it being humid outside and my having a large breakfast made me not have a ravenous appetite.
On the menu, I was pleased to see a lunch portion of halibut and chips. It also had coleslaw. Perfect!
I was fine catching up with a few things on my phone. Sopheak was kind to give me an update on my food. I wasn't in any rush. I did appreciate the status report.
My food came. I was so happy to see a smaller portion of everything that I love.
I do like the tartar squeeze bottle. It works nicely. I want one at home!
The halibut was excellent. It was flaky and yummy, with a crispy, thin batter around it. Delicious!
I don't like a huge pile of fries. The fries that I got were the perfect quantity. I ended up dipping them in the tartar sauce instead of having them plain or with ketchup. They were yummy.
I loved my coleslaw. It was crispy and tangy.
I looked at the apple pie feature. Having a smaller main meant that I could finally squeeze in dessert.
You can get apple pie with or without ice cream. I went with the latter. I just wanted something with fruit.
The apple pie slice was the perfect portion. It had caramel sauce drizzled on it. I liked that the pie was naturally sweet and the light caramel added a nice flavour dimension to an already excellent slice of pie. Yum!
I used the washroom twice. I used it after I had placed my order and before I left. There were three single stalls. The one that I used twice was maintained exceptionally well.
I paid with a credit card. Sopheak brought the payment machine to my table. I tipped and tapped. All done!
I thanked him and headed to my car to discover more of the city.
I thoroughly enjoyed my lunch here. Everything was yummy and perfect.
