Had to go with a group, for me the saving grace was I could order Thai on the fish side ( I love my Thai Palace) and not a fan of "fish n chips." The Teklenburg side seems to cater to a 75+ plus crowd (at night) I personally did not enjoy the environment. The prices and portions were very, very good( so were the fries I stole) Service was very efficient. I would return at lunch. For me lunch is more about quick, good food, and service then the overall dinning experience.
My new favourite fish 'n' chips. I had been wanting to see Sudbury -- yes, I know that's weird, but I used to live in a mining area in Michigan's Upper Peninsula, so I was curious about how Smeltertown would stack up against there. Anke & Tony's had a good rating on Urbanspoon, so I thought I'd check them out too. Glad I did! Not only was the fish 'n' chips good -- thin pieces of fish, crispy beer batter, a mound of fresh-cut semi-thick fries -- but the portion was huge for the price. Three pieces of fish for $9.95! It would have cost $5 more in Vancouver.
I wound up paying more for a bowl of lobster bisque than I did for the much larger fish 'n' chips. But I'm a sucker for lobster bisque. I always order it in hopes of finding something close to a saffron-laced version that I had in Fort Myers, Florida. Anke & Tony's take on this soup is way different -- it's tomato-based, like Manhattan clam chowder. But it's got a Cajun-ish cayenne peppery heat to it -- zesty, not tongue-scorching. There are chunks of lobster meat floating in the bowl. It reminded me of a lobster bisque I had in 2009 at a Chinese restaurant in Perth, Australia. I tell ya, I take lobster bisque seriously.
Great food. They do an excellent fish and chips and their seafood menu is pretty good. The owners are friendly and the staff is very knowledgeable.
