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 [...]

Cafe Barcelona on Granville

June 7, 2010

So I’ve been looking to expand on my regular lunch places downtown, and I found Cafe Barcelona when looking around online for a bit a few months ago. It recently opened at the end of last year, and is located in the busy downtown Granville Street Entertainment district. I initially thought that it would definitely [...]

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, [...]

Relish Gastropub in Downtown Vancouver

March 26, 2010

Disclosure: Mike and I were invited to Relish to check out the newly redone restaurant and bar to eat dinner with the owner. While that was scary in and of itself, in hopes that the food would indeed be good, the meal was provided gratis. Early this week, Mike and I headed over to the [...]

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 [...]

Kirin Downtown Vancouver

February 24, 2010

I haven’t been to dim sum for ages. I’m not quite sure why, but it could be that a lot of the people I’m around get up somewhat late, and prefer to have breakfast food around lunchtime instead of anything more exotic. For me, breakfast food can be anything Asian as well, and I actually [...]

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 [...]

La Taqueria in Downtown Vancouver

February 10, 2010

After heading out to lunch with my friend last week that I hadn’t seen in awhile, we made plans to meet up again earlier this week to La Taqueria, located near Gastown at the corner of West Hastings and Hamilton Street. There has been a bit of buzz about this small taco shop lately, and [...]

Tangthai Cuisine of Thailand on Robson Street

January 31, 2010

Last week I met up with Kim from I’m Only Here for the Food! again for lunch, along with a couple of my other friends. We were aiming to try another Thai place that would be more authentic than others in Vancouver, so we went to the recently opened Tangthai Cuisine of Thailand restaurant on [...]
