James on Hastings

October 4, 2012

Another restaurant that I dined out at in the past few weeks with my grass 4s volleyball team was James on Hastings. Located in a small strip mall on East Hastings at the corner of Slocan, this Chinese restaurant apparently closed due to a fire and then reopened again only a short time ago. James, [...]

Minami Yaletown

August 17, 2012

After Miku‘s success in Coal Harbour for the past couple of years, the owner, Seigo Nakamura, decided to open up a sister restaurant, Minami, in Yaletown earlier this summer. The menu itself is quite similar, and the Japanese restaurant continues to serve it’s specialty of aburi, or sear-flamed sushi. A helpful bonus is that there [...]

Tacofino Commissary

August 13, 2012

Every summer, I really enjoy playing on my grass 4′s co-ed volleyball league – not only is the game itself a lot of fun, but we usually end up going somewhere for a bite in the area when we’re done for the night. This year, we’ve done a great job of hitting a new spot [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

This past Sunday I went with a couple of girlfriends for a catch-up brunch to Tableau Bar  Bistro in the Loden Hotel. It’s located on Melville Street at the edge of Coal Harbour in downtown Vancouver, and is a French bistro-style restaurant that has been open for not quite two months yet – since May [...]
