Panago takeout in Nelson BC

NelsonRestaurants.com


Last week the family needed a quick meal for after work and school activities.  We decided on pizza, which we usually get from Canadian 2 for 1 or Panago.  This time we chose Panago, but both restaurants do good pizza takeouts.


Two large pizzas, one a Hawaiian and one a cheese/pepperoni, came to just under $30.  They were ready when I arrived to pick them up, and you also get one dipping sauce or shaker with each pizza.  We chose the Blue Cheese and the Jalapeno Ranch, but there are more to pick.  For a list of all of them, visit this site.  Aside from taking out, Panago also has tables in the restaurant if you want to eat in.


Next time we do a takeout there, I think I'll try some of their chicken wings too.


Panago is located at 216 Anderson St in Nelson, BC.  This is the highway through town, and they are across the street from Safeway.  Their phone number is (250) 310-0001, which also serves the Castlegar location.

New Year's brunch at Hume Hotel restaurant

NelsonRestaurants.com

On New Year's day we decided to book an 11am brunch at the Hume Hotel in Nelson BC.  We've had brunch at the Hume before and they always put on a good one.

We were able to get a table next to the window facing the highway through town, which is always a plus.  There was little waiting once we sat down, the food was all ready in the adjoining room, along with a short line-up of hungry Nelsonites and travellers.

What food was there?

Eggs Benedict, scrambled eggs, sausages, bacon, peach crepes, potato gems, sliced melons, waffles, berry topping with whip cream, salad, ribs, potatoes, potato salad, veggies, hummus and bread, pastries, juices, desserts, and I'm sure I'm forgetting a few things!  One item that ran out quickly was the green jello parfait, which I heard a lot of people asking for.

When we returned to the table, hot coffee was waiting and old plates were cleaned away quickly.  All in all the food tasted great and it was another successful outing to the Hume Hotel restaurant.  The staff were all friendly as usual.  A family meal where no one has to prepare anything or clean up is a great way to start a New Year, especially if you've done a lot of cooking and had visitors over Christmas.

The Best Western hotel on Baker st in Nelson BC also does a good brunch, but you may have to wait for Mother's Day for the next one!
