CHRISTMAS EVE - OLDE SCHOOL STYLE

(Dad and I)

The Olde School Restaurant is exactly that – an old school turned into a restaurant. I think some of my great aunts went to school here.

(Mom and I)

Since 1997 this restaurant's claim to fame is a day in June when her Royal Majesty Queen Elizabeth II parked her bum down for a lunch. The restaurant is covered in photographs and paintings of the day this little Brantfordian restaurant was put on the map (of Brantford :P).

It has now become a massive advertising stunt for the restaurant with business cards reading...….

“Her Majesty the Queen dined here in 1997, you can too!”

(see table above)

O dear.

On another interesting note… Alexander Graham Bell is in the top 10 famous Canadians despite being a Scotsman with American citizenship. Hmmm… either we were really desperate in compiling the famous Canadians list or some people aren’t too swift???

Despite my mocking the Olde School, its original past and exceptional quality make it stand above the rest.
