Exploring northern BC really works up an appetite! During my day in Smithers, I decided to check out Trackside Cantina, which serves up fresh and delicious Mexican cuisine. Since it was a beautiful day, my friend and I grabbed a table on the patio to enjoy the sun and the gorgeous views of the surrounding mountains. With its colourful decor and lively music, it really felt like a little piece of Mexico in the valley! Everything on the menu sounded delicious but I finally decided on the chicken quesadilla with rice and beans. When our food arrived, we were not disappointed! The food was fresh and tasty, and we both thoroughly enjoyed our meals. With quick service, a fun and festive atmosphere, and delicious Mexican cuisine, I would definitely recommend Trackside Cantina as a place to stop for a bite in Smithers!

Yesterday my co-worker and I went for an amazing lunch & cultural experience at Schimmels Fine Pasteries here on Main Street of Smithers! After ordering our lunch (and a cookie for the co-worker we left behind) we sat down to our table and enjoyed the lovely music, culture and food.
Schimmels isn't any ordinary bakery; they have the whole history of everything about Smithers. There is everything from facts about Switzerland to the information about farming in the valley. It was a great experience and we both learned so much about our area!
Not only did we leave a little more educated but we left with full and happy tummys. I can still smell the freshly baked breads, soups and the famous Shimmels cinnamon buns.
