In yesterday’s blog I mentioned driving to Tete Jaune for a restaurant meal. Most of the places to eat in the Robson Valley are pretty much burger-oriented, but the Riverside Cafe the Tete Jaune Lodge offers diners a high quality meal amidst spectacular mountain scenery. The Cafe has just reopened after a very long absence, and from the size of the crowd of local residents that were there on Saturday, it was a welcome return.
The Riverside Cafe unfortunately can not be seen from the highway, and their sign does not do justice to the experience that they offer, so the bulk of their business is from locals from Valemount and McBride, who know about it. Of course that is great for us locals, but for business, not the best economic situation.
The cafe offers dining both inside the quaint log building and outside beside the flowing Fraser River, with the Cariboo Mountains in the back ground. Because of predicted rain, our reservations had been made for inside. However after stuffing ourselves on the buffet, and then visiting with friends at our table, we went outside to enjoy the scenery, because the weather was unexpectedly perfect.
It was sure a treat to have the Riverside Cafe open again.
Heaven on Earth...and you all get to enjoy it.
