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 [...]

Smoking Dog Bistro

May 15, 2010

Last week I met up with a girlfriend for lunch at The Smoking Dog Bistro, for French and Italian food in Kitsilano. We were looking for a patio, since it was a gorgeous sunny day out (as we’ve been so lucky to experience in Vancouver over the past couple of weeks), and it seemed to [...]

Les Faux Bourgeois

April 19, 2010

Last week a few food bloggers were planning on getting together again for another nice dinner out, but after Sherman fell ill, and Kim had a last minute withdrawal, it was only Darina (Gratinée) and I that made it to Les Faux Bourgeois French Bistro in East Vancouver. Although we had just had quite the [...]

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 Brasserie French and German Restaurant on Davie Street

February 1, 2010

My girlfriend and I were planning on having dinner together on Saturday night, and I spent about two days prior trying to find a restaurant that had room for a somewhat larger group of eight to ten people (it was a bit of a pre-birthday celebration). That was a huge nightmare! In the end, it [...]

Provence Marinaside French Restaurant in Yaletown

January 26, 2010

I used to go to Provence Marinaside (the Yaletown location – the Mediterranean Grill is in Kits) at least once every other week for brunch, but for whatever reason, I haven’t made it there for the past few months. It’s strange how that happened, so I was extra excited this past Sunday when I finally [...]
