L’Abattoir

October 20, 2011

L’Abattoir opened up in Gastown over a year ago now, and it’s one of those restaurants that I’d been hearing so much about and kept meaning to pay a visit to right away. That didn’t quite work out as planned, and it ended up taking me many, many months to finally make it there for [...]

Boneta

March 7, 2011

One evening not too long ago, a group of friends gathered together super last minute to have a welcome back dinner for a couple that just moved to Vancouver from Beijing after they got married. I was put in charge of dinner reservations, and the clock was ticking as it was already 5 pm at [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

One place that I have always enjoyed dining at (but haven’t been to in ages), is Chambar in Gastown. Chef Nico Scheurmann and his wife Karri opened the restaurant several years ago with the philosophy of having a “commitment to fresh, innovative and incredible food that is presented without pretention.” They are currently in the [...]

Guu Otokomae

August 23, 2010

It seems like I’ve been to a lot of Japanese izakayas lately. A little while back (ok, so it was a few months ago), I headed over to Guu Otokomae in Gastown with a good girlfriend of mine, to take her out for her birthday dinner. I’ve been to a couple of others in the [...]

Cobre

April 13, 2010

Last week for dinner, I met up with Teresa from Senses and Style and Melody from Gourmet Fury at Cobre in Gastown. This was my first visit to the Latino tapas restaurant after hearing great things about it from quite of few of my friends. We arrived around 6:30 and after some discussion on preferred [...]

Two Chefs and a Table

April 3, 2010

Late last week I met up with my friend Vince (who works in the Gastown area) for lunch. We decided to hit up Two Chefs and a Table on Alexander Street, upon his recommendation (I have also heard good things from a couple of others in the past). I wasn’t sure what to expect in [...]

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 [...]
