Basil Pasta Bar

June 30, 2010

I’ve been to Basil Pasta Bar, a quick restaurant to get a simple Italian fix, a few times now since they opened within the past few months along Davie Street, near Seymour in downtown Vancouver. The concept is simple, inexpensive, and fast! There is the option to choose from either a set menu of House [...]

The Endive Gala at Oru

June 23, 2010

Did you know that the average Canadian only eats 6 endive leaves per year (yes, leaves)? In comparison, in Europe, the average person will eat approximately 10 whole endives over the same time period. There are both a yellow and red variety available, and once they turn green, it’s advised to not eat them anymore [...]

Le Crocodile

June 9, 2010

I know I’m getting behind on posts when I start writing one only to realize that I can’t remember some of the names of the daily specials that we ate since my notes were on my iPhone – and my iPhone probably got taken by a cabbie over 3 weeks ago! Anyway, quite a few [...]

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, [...]

March 26, 2010

Shuraku Sake Bar and Bistro Japanese Restaurant on Granville

March 7, 2010

I’m baaa-ack! It took me almost a full week of not eating and not being able to look at food pictures or talk about food, but now I’m here and ready to write again! I had a crazy stomach virus that I probably caught towards the end of the Olympics and didn’t realize it, so [...]

Kaide Sushi

February 16, 2010

First of all I’d just like to say Congratulations to Canada’s Alex Bilodeau for winning the first Olympic gold medal on Canadian soil last night! I was lucky enough to get invited to the Men’s Moguls event last minute, and was so excited to be able to enjoy the experience of being there during that [...]

Corner Suite Bistro de Luxe in Downtown Vancouver

February 12, 2010

At lunchtime yesterday, I managed to make it out with a couple of friends to the newly opened Corner Suite restaurant in downtown Vancouver (at Thurlow and Smithe). While they just opened last Friday (February 5th), they started a lunch service earlier this week. When walking up to the building, we noticed some baby blue [...]
