Takeout counter at 101-3242 Westwood St in Port Coquitlam serving donairs, combo plates and quick meals to eat in or take away.
Donair has earned its place as one of British Columbia's working meals: inexpensive, quick to make, and a fixture of late hours. Every corner of the province has its donair shop, and the loyal ones get defended like family. Uncle Moe's Donair & Platter Inc serves that tradition from unit 101 at 3242 Westwood Street in Port Coquitlam, an independent restaurant whose name does the describing for it.
For the uninitiated, a donair is a wrapped sandwich built on spiced meat carved from a rotating spit, with tomatoes, onion and a sweet garlic sauce that is the signature of the style. The platter side of the name is the same idea served on a plate instead of in a wrap, for anyone who would rather use a fork. Most counters of this kind keep fries and cold drinks close at hand. Shops like this run on a few things done well and done fast, and they collect regulars who hold firm opinions about the sauce ratio. It is food that does not pretend to be anything other than what it is, and that honesty is most of the appeal.
Westwood Street runs through the Mary Hill side of PoCo, and the Mary Hill Bypass and Lougheed Highway are both within reach for anyone crossing the city. The format suits a street that sees a lot of everyday traffic, and casual food done honestly is what keeps it going. No phone number or website is shown for Uncle Moe's Donair & Platter Inc, so hours are best confirmed at the counter and a first visit is simply a matter of showing up and ordering. Portions at shops like this tend to be generous, which is worth knowing before ordering for a group. Ask what comes with the platter if you have never had one, and whether the sauce can go light or extra. In a donair shop, that question is always welcome, and the answer is usually fast.
In the Lincoln neighbourhood of Port Coquitlam.
