Brodo Restaurant – Penticton,B.C.

Anyone living here, visiting or just passing through, make sure to stop in at the new Brodo Restaurant. The Chef, Paul Cecconi, really knows what he is doing here.  https://www.facebook.com/tastebrodo  Let me explain….

It is sort of like a Bistro-Deli in that you order your food, be it soup, salad, sandwiches, entrees, beverages and go sit down. When the food is ready and you take that first bite, you will think  you hit the mother lode of goodness, freshness and quality.

We know Chef Paul from a couple of cooking classes we have attended in the past and he is, without a doubt, one of the best ranked Chefs around. He’s not pretentious but friendly, approachable and always, yes always, with a smile. Working along side Paul is his wonderful wife. She was explaining they are also opening up their own restaurant in one of the wineries.

So….that makes 2 eateries in town, raising a small family and really making it work.

If the crowd at lunchtime is an example, the secret is out. Don’t miss it.

Don had a grilled three cheese sandwich with a sliver of red onion and he just kept oohing and ahhing throughout the lunch. The bread was crisp on both sides and sliced thin. Perfect.

I ordered the roast turkey, bacon and smoked cheese sandwich on a fabulous bun. OMGoodness, with emphasis on the goodness part. Wonderful.

Starting to Think About “It”

The ‘it’, of course, is the upcoming adventure we are taking. For me, being a secretary of old, planning, making lists of the “to do”, gathering all the things not to be forgotten…all coming to mind.

Of course, anyone who knows me, knows the suitcases are up , although Don hasn’t opened his yet. Buying the items such as shampoos, conditioners, toothpaste, etc. are all bought and on the bed, ready to be packed (Don’s that is, mine are packed).

Making sure bills are looked after for two months; to make sure nothing is forgotten.

Our dear friend, Daryl, has been booked (he’s the one bringing me candles) to look after the joint and visit with his friends while here. This is what I would call a win-win situation, both for him and for us.

We read, almost daily, about the places we will be going, talking about the wonder of it all, and knowing full well that, by travelling with a company called “Insight”, we will be in good hands. We have travelled with them before and they are absolutely awesome.

More on that later…..I just remembered something I don’t want to forget.
