PROBUS Club of Durham West

Let's Eat


“Ajax and surrounding areas have so many restaurants to enjoy with friends.  Our group, “Let’s Eat”, meets the 3rd Thursday of the month at 5:30 p.m. to enjoy good food and lively conversation.

Each of us takes a turn choosing the restaurant, contacting the group members, and making our reservations.  

This is a great opportunity to experience local restaurants and make new PROBUS friends.

This group is currently at capacity but there is a waitlist for those interested.

To get on the wait list, or for more information contact Mary McFadden at mfadm2@gmail.com or Ada Larock at larockgrada@gmail.com.

2023

The Let’s Eat dining group met at Cloud Nine, in Ajax for our March outing. We had a great time and the food was delicious. Several members commented that they would like to go back again and try other menu options. 

With our new format, we were able to invite members from our waitlist and look forward to extending the invite in the future. We're looking forward to our next outing in April!


In February, eight Let’s Eat members attended the Pickle Barrel restaurant in Pickering. We had a great time catching up and we also introduced a new ‘waitlist’ member.

Most of us chose the deli sandwiches and we all had a lovely meal. The service was great and the waiter was able to accommodate a special request from one of our members. I was pleasantly surprised by the upscale décor of the restaurant as I was expecting more of a deli atmosphere. If you haven’t eaten there yet, we would recommend it.

Next month we will be going to the Brock House in Whitby.

On January 19, 2023, the Let's Eat group met at a new restaurant, Sea Salt Seafood Café, on Westney Road, near the Ajax GO station. Check online seasaltseafoodcafe.com

The service was excellent. The food was delicious! This restaurant is highly recommended.

Each of us received a 10% off coupon to use next time, even on Take out orders. 


2022

Four members of the Let's Eat dinner group met at Symposium Restaurant - 338 Rossland Road, East, Ajax on Thursday, October, 20 at 5:30 p.m. We had great food and conversation. We're considering making this a lunch group for the winter months since many of us are hesitant to drive in the evening.

I will be sending an email to the members for their thoughts/approval to change to a lunch group for the winter months.

On August 18th, fifteen of our dinner group members had another “Let’s Eat” evening arranged by Randy Slemin.  Randy organized a tasty experience at Odine Japanese & Thai Fusion restaurant in Ajax.  The Bento Boxes were a hit with a variety of tastes .… miso soup, green salad, California Rolls, vegetable & shrimp tempura, stir fry vegetables with a choice of chicken, beef or salmon and steamed rice …. a delicious variety of Japanese fair. We look forward to our next get together.
