Vancouver Restaurants

Lumière

November 12, 2010

This past Saturday evening, I was lucky enough to dine with friends at Lumière, on West Broadway, where Executive Chef Dale MacKay prepared a special meal for our group. I haven’t been back for awhile now (I’ve been both pre- and post-Boulud), although I’ve had other meals during that time carefully prepared by MacKay at [...]

BaOQi eateri

November 3, 2010

There’s a new pho place on the outskirts of Yaletown that opened a few weeks ago, called BaOQi eateri. When I heard about this new and nearby Vietnamese restaurant, I went to check it out just a couple of days after its first day of operation, and decided to grab some quick takeout. About two [...]

Bin 941

October 26, 2010

Early last week I met up with a girlfriend for dinner at Bin 941 on Davie Street. We had been talking about going to this tapas restaurant for months, literally, and our plans just never seemed to come together until then. Both of us had been craving a revisit of Bin 941 for ages, based [...]

Gorilla Food

October 18, 2010

A couple of weeks ago I met up for lunch with two of my girlfriends at Gorilla Food on Richards Street in downtown Vancouver. Sabrina (Become the Voice) suggested that we try it, as she likes to eat vegan food as much as possible, and I’m always open to trying something new! The inside of [...]

No. 1 Beef Noodle House

October 13, 2010

On Thursday nights in the winter, I play in a volleyball league out in Burnaby. The last time I went, most of the team decided to go for a bite to eat afterward, as we were all starving and had happily just won all our games. Never being there before, someone suggested we go to [...]

Octopus Garden

October 8, 2010

So I really, really like Octopus Garden in Kitsilano (on Cornwall) for sushi. Why? First of all, Sado-san, the chef and owner. He has a great sense of humour, is excellent and what he does (of course), and always has a big smile on his face. The last time I headed to this intimate, 30-seat [...]

Acme Cafe

October 7, 2010

Not too long ago, I hit up Acme Cafe for the first time at lunch with one of my girlfriends. It opened up earlier this year in the spring in Gastown, on West Hastings (between Abbott and Carrall Streets), and I’ve been hearing about it’s pie ever since. When walking in, it feels like you’re [...]

100 Days

October 4, 2010

This past weekend, I went to breakfast to try out 100 Days (in the Opus Hotel in Yaletown) for the first time with a group of girlfriends. It was fairly early for brunch for me (10:30 on a Sunday), and it appeared to be that way for some others as well, as it was around [...]
