Where to Eat in Saskatoon – and Drink, Too!
Having visited Saskatoon twice in the past few years, Henk and I have been more than pleasantly surprised by the food scene here, and although we aren’t ‘foodies’ per se, we do like to eat! Here are some of the best restaurants we’ve found (several of which we’ve been to twice, they were that good).
On the Trail of the El Camino de San Antonio Missions
The Camino de Santiago de Compostela is perhaps the most well-known religious pilgrimage route in the Christian world. What you may not know (and certainly Henk and I did not) is that Texas has its own El Camino de San Antonio, involving 5 stops along a 14-mile (22.5km) route, and this route also has a connection to the European Camino.
Pierogies and the Prairies: Saskatchewan’s Ukrainian Heritage
It stands like an incongruous sentinel, its onion-shaped domes outlined against the wide blue Saskatchewan skies, farm fields stretching out on all sides of it for almost as far as the eye can see. Yet, as unorthodox as this orthodox Ukrainian church seems standing in the middle of the Canadian prairies, this is not the only church of its kind here. On a recent visit to Saskatchewan, Henk and I made it our mission to photograph some of these historic churches, and in the process we learned more about the rich history of Ukrainians in Saskatchewan.
A Hidden Gem in Saskatchewan: Blackstrap Glamping Resort
What do you get when you combine the beauty of a lakefront provincial park just 20 minutes south of Saskatoon, Saskatchewan with a luxurious overnight experience? You get much more than a campground on a pretty lake – you get a ‘GlampGround’. At least that’s what I would call it, after Henk and I spent a night in one of the geodesic domes at Blackstrap Glamping Resort.
