- Thaï restaurant in Dieppe on Champlain Street
- Kichee Sushi
- Mooser's pub
- Igloo pub
- Bistro 33

- Silvery Moon
- Zen Garden
- Catch 22 Lobster Bar
- Petit Cavalier
- M.I.C. Whiskey Bar (old Don Cherry's)
- New restaurant where Voodo's used to be
- Norm's Pizza

- The acadian restaurant that we saw on Champlain Street, across from the Dairy Queen
- The Thaï place on Orange Lane
- Country Cookery in Riverview.. anyone heard of this place??

Restaurant #60 - Fisherman's Paradise - October 12th 2012
Well, we've managed to go to another Moncton area restaurant before it closes it's doors forever. We went to Fisherman's Paradise for supper. I had been once to the restaurant years before, so I pretty much forgot what it was like. First thing, the place is HUGE, and the lighting seems a little bit off. I did like all the fisherman themed decorations in the restaurant though.
As for the food, it was just ok. I will admit that choosing a cheeseburger at a seafood restaurant might not be the best choice, but if you're going to have a burger on the menu, it might as well taste good, right? Darren had the fish and chips, and said they were ok also. Stephan had a mixed seafood plate, and he did say that the bacon-wrapped scallops were delicious (the best thing on the plate). Mikella had a lobster roll and Stephane had a club sandwich, if memory serves me, they tasted ok too.
Overall concensus, the decor is fun, the place is huge, but the food is just ok.

Restaurant #59 - Osaka Hibachi - October 5th 2012
A bunch of people went to Osaka Hibachi to eat at a Teppenyaki table. This is a relatively new sushi/japanese restaurant in town on Main street. The teppenyaki tables are the tables where the chefs cook in front of you on a big griddle. I was looking forward to going, but ended up sick with a cold/flu, so I didn't make it to supper.
Things to know about this place:
We had to call almost 2 weeks in advance to get a reservation for 9 people at 5 pm on a Friday.
If you're at a Teppenyaki table.. order from the teppenyaki menu! It's pretty much the whole point of getting a spot at one of the tables, if you order sushi, you don't get the show.
After talking to Darren and Stephan, I realized I wasn't too disappointed over not going, as Darren confirmed that the Teppenyaki experience is pretty much exactly the same as the Hamachi House in Halifax, where I've been lucky enough to go a few times. Also, the filet mignon is delicious and melts in your mouth.. so it's a definite recommendation.
Erick and Mireille had taken the pictures for the restaurant, so I will post them as soon as I get them.

Restaurant #58 - Pizza Delight - September 28th 2012
We went to Pizza Delight for supper. There was Leanne, Stephan, Stephane, Pierre and I. First thing, we ended up going to supper quite late.. Leanne's train was late, and we, being the nice, kind people we are, decided to wait for her for supper.
Anyways, when we were there, Stephane and I got the buffet, Pierre and Stephan got meat pizzas, and Leanne got a salad. Everything looked good, except that for one of the pizzas at the buffet, the dough wasn't quite cooked. It didn't matter too much to me, as it was the round of the buffet where I just ate all the toppings and left the bread, but for someone that was actually going to have eaten the dough, it wouldn't have been a nice surprise.
I was also a horrible picture-taker, as I forgot to get pictures of everyone's food before they started eating, and I forgot to get a picture of everyone outside the restaurant.. oops.
