Tableau Bar Bistro

June 30, 2011

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 [...]

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 [...]

Twisted Fork Bistro

April 12, 2010

Last Sunday, I was looking for a new brunch place to try in downtown Vancouver as we were meeting my oldest girlfriend (as in longest term – since I was 6 years old in Terrace) and her husband who were in town from Victoria for a wedding. I hadn’t noticed before that Twisted Fork Bistro, [...]

Campagnolo

April 9, 2010

Late last week a girlfriend and I decided to meet up for lunch somewhere new, so we picked Campagnolo on Main Street (okay, let’s be real here – I picked it). I had been hearing a lot of good things about this newer Italian restaurant, and had yet to try it out. The location was [...]

La Bocca in Whistler Village

March 19, 2010

Now on to my last Whistler restaurant review until the next time I hit the slopes. After checking out of our hotel slowly and somewhat late after daylight savings time on Sunday (terrible losing an hour), we met up with our friend Alison and wandered to find some brunch. The quickest place we could find [...]

Local Public Eatery

March 9, 2010

After a long weekend of being kind of lazy as a result of socializing and having too much fun with the girls, I decided to meet up with one of them again yesterday – the caveat being that we would take a long walk around the seawall in Kits afterward to get a bit of [...]

Raincity Grill in the West End of Vancouver

February 8, 2010

In the middle of last week, there were eight of us trying to decide what to do for a good friend’s birthday that just passed on Friday. He didn’t want to celebrate at all since he hasn’t been in the mood for cheeriness about aging since his 30th, so instead of doing dinner or having [...]

Pourhouse Restaurant in Vancouver’s Gastown

February 2, 2010

On the weekend a large group of us (fifteen to be exact) felt like finding any excuse to go for a dinner together (we officially called it our friend’s ‘going away to India for a month’ outing – yes, that’s right – a month). So after doing a little calling around earlier last week, a [...]

The Naam Vegetarian Restaurant in Kitsilano

January 29, 2010

So I’ve had several vegetarian (and non-vegetarian) friends of mine tell me about The Naam Restaurant in Kitsilano, and I just never tried it yet. So this morning, my girlfriend Sabrina (Become the Voice) asked me if I wanted to join her, as she was heading that way and needed to drop off her dog [...]
