Yaletown L’Antipasto

December 21, 2011

Over the weekend, I went with a girlfriend to the newly opened small restaurant in Yaletown called Yaletown L’Antipasto. Around since mid-November, this place serves up Mediterranean style tapas, wine and daily pasta specials that are cooked on just a couple of hot plates in their open concept kitchen, right where you can see them.

Ensemble Tap

December 14, 2011

The holiday season is definitely in full gear! Since I haven’t been leaving my apartment all that much during the daytime while getting caught up in work and prepping for my upcoming stint in Thailand, I sometimes completely forget that it’s the festive time of year until Christmas parties and other social events pop up [...]

De Dutch Pannekoek House Facebook Competition

December 5, 2011

It’s definitely been a ridiculous December so far, filled with all sorts of holiday parties, and it’s barely gotten started! To help wrap up a fun and eventful weekend, I went with a couple of friends to have a very late brunch yesterday afternoon at De Dutch Pannekoek House. With 17 locations in the Greater [...]

Crispy Duck from Ubud, Bali

November 17, 2011

I was looking back at some travel pictures from the past year or so yesterday, and came across a meal that I remember really enjoying and hadn’t yet shared with everyone. Last year, I took a trip to Bali, Indonesia, and I found this traditional Indonesian dish while in the small village of Ubud, which [...]

Victoria’s Food Secrets Two Year Anniversary

November 5, 2011

Is it November already? When did this year fly by so quickly? And how has it been two years that have passed since I privately created this blog as a creative outlet, and then had it turn into something much greater than I ever expected it to be. It’s been a great year, and one [...]

L’Abattoir

October 20, 2011

L’Abattoir opened up in Gastown over a year ago now, and it’s one of those restaurants that I’d been hearing so much about and kept meaning to pay a visit to right away. That didn’t quite work out as planned, and it ended up taking me many, many months to finally make it there for [...]

La Taqueria Cambie

September 14, 2011

La Taqueria opened another Taco Shop this summer in the South Cambie area, just off of Broadway. I remember going to the original La Taqueria location quite awhile back in downtown Vancouver near Gastown, and not enjoying it as much as everyone around me. I seemed to be one of the very few that didn’t [...]

Pied à Terre

August 11, 2011

Living in Cambie Village currently, I have walked by Pied à Terre, a small inconspicuous French Bistro, several times, and have vowed to go there at some point this summer before I move on to yet another neighbourhood. While they serve dinner seven days a week, I was delighted to see that they also have [...]

La Régalade

August 3, 2011

I spent the past weekend on a little ‘staycation’ getaway, with a girlfriend at a house she was staying at in West Vancouver. We had a fantastic time exploring the area, and she played tour guide for me, as I haven’t actually been to that side of the city all that much since I moved [...]
