By The Food Tease on April 5, 2016
With snow still on the ground and ice slowly melting, I wouldn’t have thought of exposing myself to the cold wind blowing off the St. Lawrence River for a getaway retreat. However, I was wrong.
Indulgence and pampering were in the cards for me as I enjoyed the beautiful 1000 Islands Harbor Hotel located on the St. Lawrence River in the picturesque touristy town of Clayton, New York.
Just shy of celebrating their two-year anniversary, The 1000 Islands Harbor Hotel has already garnered such prominent accolades for their service that it has recently been awarded the Four Diamond status from the Automobile Association of America (AAA). The 1000 Islands Harbor Hotel is one of only 24 hotels in Upstate New York to earn this distinction. And I was about to find out why!
The 1000 Island Harbor Hotel in Clayton, New York.
Driving from Ontario, Canada, the hotel is relatively close-by considering it seems tucked away in its splendour surrounded by the 1000 islands. My two and half hour drive was nothing short of scenic. As one crosses the U.S. border, the beautiful landscape with its many islands took my breath away! I knew then that my getaway retreat was nearby.
I was informed that Clayton, NY is very much a busy town during the touristy summer months with travellers coming from all parts of Canada and the nearby states. Visitors strive to find a beautiful locale in which to rest and relax. When I arrived, not even the snow could take away from the beauty and tranquility offered at the hotel and by the surrounding environment – the St. Lawrence River and the 1000 Islands.
A deep-rooted history is connected to the new 1000 Islands Harbor Hotel establishment. Before the hotel was built, the property was owned for over 80 years by the owner of the former Frink Snow Plow Company, Carl Frink. This is the man who is credited with having created the double-winged V-Plow which is something that we Canadians are very grateful for with our merciless snowstorms. And, for history buffs out there, you will find it interesting to know that the surrounding property was once The Clayton Railway Station which served as the end point of the Philadelphia and New York Railways.
As it was back in the day, thousands of passengers ‘flocked from the big cities each summer to visit the resort town, explore the 1000 Islands and stay in its world famous hotels’. This sentiment is something that the 1000 Islands Harbor Hotel hopes to carry on. And by the looks of it they will!
Throughout this past year, there have been several diversified culinary events held at the hotel under the craft of Executive Chef Patrick Leibacher. His passion for food and his approach of involving guests are in constant development as he tries to integrate new concepts and other branches of passion.
This year, our ‘Farm to Table’ and ‘Wild Game’ dinners were very popular among guests, so I would like to keep them as a part of our programming and offer them year after year. Another theme I would like to explore is one that revolves around the fusion of art and food. I’m still developing this concept but I look forward to seeing what may come of it!” – Chef Patrick Leibacher
I had heard about the exciting culinary events that the 1000 Islands Harbor Hotel had successfully held and I was very eager to partake in this particular one, the Taste of Europe Dinner. An event with a unique dinner menu highlighting dishes that were specific to that particular region was created by Executive Chef Patrick Leibacher and his brigade. The Opici Family Distributing of Upstate New York paired each dish with their wine selections.
Knowing that Chef Leibacher hailed from Europe and had studied as an apprentice chef throughout many parts of Europe, I was excited to taste the renditions on his favourite dishes.
I chose the ‘Tour of Europe’ dinner for our guests because I wanted to give them a taste of the cuisine I grew up enjoying…these dishes are inspired by my own favourite comfort foods.” – Chef Patrick Leibacher
1st Course:
Spain: Salchichon, cheese and torta from Spain.
Wine: Damini Lemberger 2013.
2nd Course:
Germany: Chevril soup
Wine: Wagner Rosé of Cabernet Franc 2015
3rd Course:
Italy: Grilled Italian Caesar Sald with Polenta Croutons
Wine: Sheldrake Pinot Gris 2014
4th Course:
France: Monkfish Terrine served with supreme sauce
Wine: Anthony Road Dry Riesling 2014
5th Course:
Switzerland: Minced veal in creamy mushroom sauce with Swiss hashbrowns
Wine: McGregor Cabernet Franc Reserve 2013
6th Course:
Austria: Traditional Austrian pastry served warm with vanilla.
Wine: Fulkerson Vidal Blanc Iced Wine 2014
Verdict: Delicious dishes (especially the monkfish terrine) and excellent concept for a culinary event.
Many tourists are drawn to the 1000 Islands Harbor Hotel as it’s all encompassing to close-by tourist attractions that have both history and beauty. The Clayton Opera House (the centerpiece of Clayton’s culture) and the Antique Boat Museum (the largest collection of antique boats in North America) are just a few to mention; however, the major attractions in my opinion, especially during the warm summer months, is to take a boat ride to Boldt Castle and Singer Castle.
Imagine spending a day of splendour, discovering new areas and learning the history of the islands and their surrounding castles while knowing that after your boat journey, you can retreat back into your own castle-like quarters.
The 1000 Island Habor Hotel
1000 Islands Harbor Hotel Facilities:
• 105 Deluxe Guestrooms and Suites
• State of the art fitness center
• Indoor heated pool and Jacuzzi
• Business Centre
• High speed wireless internet service throughout the hotel
• Full service dining: breakfast, lunch, dinner and room service
• 1000 Islands Bar
• The Riverside Patio
• On site concierge services
• 24 hour room service with limited menu
• Safety deposit boxes located at front desk
• High definition T.V.’s
• over 6,000 Sq. Feet of Conference/Function space (great for conventions and weddings)
• 6 Accessible rooms*
*They have designated rooms for guests with disabilities (according to the American Disabilities Act). Rooms that have TDDY phones (Telecommunications Device for the Deaf) and accommodations are lower in height. The hotel has gone the extra mile to make sure that all guests feel not only welcomed, but feel as though their needs are being met.
During my stay, I watched as the hotel prepared for one of many weddings that normally take place at this time of year. With the spacious conference and banquet areas, including a grand ballroom, hosts can be assured that their guests will feel comfortable and relaxed as the hotel has given much attention to space and how to best utilize it.
And of course it doesn’t hurt that guests are spoiled with the beautiful view of the St. Lawrence River, especially at sunset. The hotel’s large fire pits located at the Riverside patio is a source of relaxation and enjoyment as the heat and ambiance they provide can be enjoyed all year round.
Throughout the year, the 1000 Island Harbor Hotel offers guests a multitude of diversified packages for all to enjoy. From romance packages, wine tastings, in-house or off-site spa packages, private island cruise excursions to sport packages, the hotel literally caters to everyone’s pleasures!
I know for myself, I look forward to experiencing more of their events particularly with the warm summer months just around the corner. Since I enjoyed the hotel when there was snow on the ground, can you imagine when the hot sun is beating down on the river…the possibilities must be endless!
Learning about new destinations and different cultures is always a blast! 😃
Several evenings ago, I had the pleasure of being invited to the Embassy of the Czech Republic😍
Learning about their culture, their unique travel experiences, and surprisingly, how inexpensive this country is, when compared to other European destinations, is always good💰💰
To start the Czech Tourism event, guests had the pleasure to hear from Czech Republic Ambassador of Canada, Martin Tlapa.
Tasty libations and Czech dishes were enjoyed by the guests. Even though I enjoy my 🍾 bubbles, I enjoyed tasting Czech`s prized beer 😉🍻
On the bucket list to discover✈️✈️

I had the pleasure of experiencing @kathaottawa with their exclusive 8 course tasting menu of progressive Indian cuisine. What a treat!😍😋
.
Kathā means story in Sanskrit, and with each course, a story about the dish was shared with the guests. This interactive approach provided a cultural and personal background for each dish.
.
Everything from the scallop ceviche, the cod with chili and coriander oil to the delicious lamb chop and duck - all made for a unique cultural dining experience. 😋😋
.
Props to Chef/Owner Sarath Teegavarapu and his talented brigade on this creative endeavor!!

Friday night, I had the privilege of attending the 2024 Canadian Culinary Championships - Mystery Wine Challenge - People`s Choice Award🥇🥇@greatkitchenparty
.
Congratulations to all the chefs involved in this intense competition. The chefs needed to create a dish to pair with the mystery wine. Each chef was given a tricky budget of $550 for the 250 guests. I was witnessing creativity at its best!!😋
.
The winning dish🥇 (centered in the middle of the photo) was created by JP Dublado: Red Deer Resort and Casino, Red Deer AB
Dish: beet & soy cured albacore tuna - ponzu gel - tomato water - puffed wild rice - beet green oil
.
Amazing talent from all the chefs as they paired with the mystery wine (a 2021 Lailey Vineyard Zweigelt)🍷🍷

A classic is always a classic!🤩
.
@alssteakhouse has been serving food lovers steak, seafood, and tantalizing martinis since 1967!!! Just incredible! 🥩🍤🍸
.
As an appetizer, I must say their calamari was outstanding, and believe it or not, their portion was unlike any other eatery - there was so much!! 😮
.
And now, for the main attraction - their 14oz Rib-eye steak. The flavour of this steak was a melt-in-your-mouth gift! I couldn`t stop eating it. I forgot how delicious their steaks are. With their sides and salad with their signature garlic dressing, it was a real feast, to say the least.😋
.
I`m already looking forward to my next visit...like I said, when a classic is this tasty, any excuse to visit is a good one‼️

Explore and savour! 😋
.
Exploring different regions of the beautiful island of Antigua🏝🏝🐚🐚
Breathtaking panoramic views from Shirley Heights, a restored military lookout, and gun battery was such a visual treat!😍
.
Afterward, a tasty seafood lunch at the Mainbrace restaurant, located at the @copperandlumberstorehotelanu was needed. We are talking about delicious conch fritters, spicy shrimp and avocado sushi stack, and Mahi Mahi trio seafood salad - YUMMY!! 😋😋
.
And if that wasn`t enough, the view of the mind-blowing luxury yachts in front of us as we dined was simply perfect!🛳🛥🤩
.
These activities made for a great island day!🏝😊

The Devil made me do it! 👹😉
.
Antigua’s rich history and spectacular topography provide a variety of popular sightseeing opportunities.
.
One of those stunning sightseeing opportunities is the Devil`s Bridge. The sight and sounds of this natural wonder are something else. 👹🌊
.
Natural blowholes around the arch shoot up water and spray, caused by the Atlantic Ocean waves. Simply beautiful and capitavating and yet dangerous if too close to the blowholes.😲😍

To discover any new destination, I need to explore and experience their local dishes and eateries. 😋😋
.
Big thanks to @eat_n_lime_food_tours and to the @antiguaandbarbuda tourism board for providing me such a tasty treat!!🤗
.
Eat N Lime`s motto resonates with me so much...`We are hanging out and chilling, enjoying eachothers company with good food` - This is my happy place!😍😋
.
The delicious food tour started in Saint John, the capital of Antigua and Barbuda, at the Heritage Quay Complex, where one can easily see all the cruise ships coming in and offloading their passengers.
.
I had the pleasure of tasting these local treats during the food tour:
1) Island Bhive: shrimp fritters with garlic sauce - so delicious 😋 🦐
2) Quin Farara Liquor Store: Rum tasting and learning how to make an Antiguan Old Fashioned cocktail with their 5-year-old English Harbour Rum.🍹
3) Roti King: a very generous roti that was packed with flavour: chickpea bread, potatoes, chicken, Indian curry, turmeric, and ginger.
4) Brownies Bakery: well-known for its unique bread offerings. Fun fact: it`s also a well-known hangover dish.🍞😉Tracey Ann, our informative and engaging Eat n Lime Food Tours guide, showed us Brownies Bakery`s famous bread - cinnamon butter and cheese.
5) Patti Delight: Jamaican patties with a twist. Jamaican beef patty with bacon, cheese, tomatoes, and lettuce. More please!!😋😋
6) To wash down all this delicious food, we stopped at One Stone Ital Shack - a Jamaican rasta shop known for their fresh fruit juices. Passion fruit for the win!! Tasted amazing and truth be told, I mixed my leftover juice with some local Rum as my afternoon cocktail.🍹😉
.
I highly recommend taking part in food tours when discovering new destinations as you not only learn about the culture but also learn how food plays an integral role in the history of the specific region. Eat N Lime`s food tour was exceptional - great memories from this excursion. 😍🤗

Home cooking calls for a smoked salmon Dutch baby!!😋💕
.
This uber light yet rich at the same time meal is nothing but DELICIOUS!
.
This savoury Dutch baby with garlic butter, parmesan, and plenty of herbs can be a versatile vessel for other proteins or on its own. However, the smoked salmon and sour cream spread takes it to another level.
.
Here`s to weekend meals👩🏼🍳😋

I am very proud to share my culinary "observer" perspective regarding @lecordonbleuottawa culinary workshops in the latest issue of @luxeottawamagazine 😊
.
Visiting my alma mater and watching the culinary workshop from a different lens reinforced the rationale as to why I pursued my culinary education…the pleasure of savouring the fruits of your labour. 😋
.
It is this journey that ignited my passion for cooking, helped hone my skills, and introduced me to a world of flavours and techniques that continue to inspire me to this day. And perhaps it will inspire you as well!👨🍳👩🏼🍳
.
Check out the article and the new culinary workshops being offered. Enjoy the adventure!!😊🤗

Where`s my rubber ducky 🐤😉?!
.
A year ago this week, I was enjoying some bath time while in @discoverdominica 🏖🏝😍
.
Dominica`s lush scenery is extraordinary, and I`m grateful to have been invited to visit their beautiful island😊😊
.
Visiting Wotten Waven Sulphur Springs was perfect to relax and rid of some unwanted stress. And the outdoor bath surrounded by all that green landscape was simply the BEST! An unforgettable experience! 🤩
.
Dominica`s adventure activities - diving, snorkeling, hiking, kayaking, swimming - are just some of the many ways to enjoy this tropical island.🤿🙂
.
Put Dominica on your travel list. You`ll love it!!❤️❤️

No trip would be complete without a delicious food tour😋😍
.
I had the pleasure of taking part in @tours_de_la_table
guided walking tour - exploring Montréal`s Chinatown. Engaging host, interesting cultural facts, and my favourite, tasty dishes made for a great afternoon.😋😍
.
Having a very engaging and informative guide is key to any successful tour, and Mélissa Simard, founder of Round Table Tours/Tours De La Table nailed it. Melissa has a wealth of knowledge regarding both Canadian and Chinese history and its connection to Montreal.
.
During the tour, I learned that the Chinese Holiday Inn, the only Chinese Holiday Inn in Canada other than China, all the rooms and decor in the hotel are done in respect to the Feng Shui practice. Additionally, I also learned, amongst many other interesting facts regarding Montreal and its beloved Chinatown, that 50% of businesses in Montréal`s Chinatown are Vietnamese owned.
.
Now to the food😋😋
● The classic Vietnamese dish, Bánh mi (Vietnamese sandwich), was perfect to start off this yummy culinary tour!🥖😋
● @dobeandandy restaurant: BBQ pork, BBQ duck, chicken, and crispy pork. 😍YES!!!
● @chezchili_mtl: Traditional Hunan and Sichuan dishes are their specialty. I devoured their tofu with spicy blackbean sauce!! AND their spicy lotus was amazing! I was pleasantly surprised as to how much I enjoyed this dish! 😍 Plus, their stir-fried Cumin lamb...I could have eaten all of it!!!😋😍
● Kim Fung eatery: dim sum dishes of rice noodles, dumplings, cuttlefish, and Shumai (Chinese dumplings). 🥟🥟
● For drssert: Dragons beard candy dessert: Similar to cotton candy, but with some saltiness from peanuts and sweetness from coconut...super tasty!😍
.
I highly recommend this style of food tour as it`s very interesting and ridiculously TASTY 👌 😋😍

Labeled as `hunting lodge meets speakeasy`, the @foxymtl restaurant perfectly executes each dish with their wood-fire cooking🔥🔥😍
.
All aspects of this dining experience were spot on - warm hospitality, tantalizing cocktails, and dishes that pop with flavour. 🥃🍸🔥
.
Foxy`s head chef, Catherine Couvet Desrosiers and her talented brigade made exceptional wood-fire dishes, that left me wanting for more!!
.
Sabrina master mixologist at Foxy, made several tantalizing libations for me, but one stood out like no other - the New Delhi.😍🍸🥃 The New Delhi Cocktail was by far the best cocktail I`ve had in a very, very long time! Exotically addictive! 😋
.
Dishes that I was spoiled with: Homemade feta and pita: 1) burnt eggplant, blueberry, walnut and honey. 2) Radicchio: garlic confit, anchovy, olive and sourdough bread. 3) Cappelletti: corn, chanterelle and nasturtium. 4) Ontario walleye: porcini, lobster mushroom, sherry and chevril. Stunning dishes!!😋
.
Take your tastebuds on a culinary adventure and experience Foxy!!
