Canoe
This is my first trip to the state of Georgia and first ever visit to Atlanta. I’ve heard so many good things about the city and most importantly the food scene here.
So excited to finally be taking the trip on an early Monday morning via JFK airport. Flight was scheduled to depart at 7 am and was surprisingly on time and we even arrived a bit early. The ATL airport was clean and organized and claiming your luggage was a breeze. Getting an uber from the airport arrival was super quick as well. Two things already that NYC can learn from ATL. Weather was so nice as well as it’s all sunny here with a nice breeze.
It’s time for our 1st food scene visit here and we are off to Canoe located at 4199 Paces Ferry Road SE by the Chattahoochee river. The restaurant has been part of the neighborhood for over 25 years now and was actually destroyed in 2009 due to the flood. The local community came together and helped rebuild the whole restaurant together symbolizing the role cuisine plays in the community here in Atlanta.
I started with the house smoked salmon with crispy potato cake which was excellent.
Next was the butternut squash soup, which was my favorite, the lime cream was so flavorful and complimented the sweetness of the squash.
For my entrée I had the crispy shrimp salad was sat on a bed of napa cabbage slaw. This was a unique dish as it was both light and heavy at the same time.
I finished the meal with the popcorn ice cream sundae with canoe’s peanut cracker jack which was to die for. This dessert was so delicious and sweet that it was so deadly to put away…
