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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Il Caminetto di Umberto

April 5, 2010

Last weekend a group of around twelve of my friends decided to head up to Whistler for the weekend, as my brother had a cabin booked that we could use during that time.  About five of us headed up for the Friday night before everyone else was going to show up and ski or board [...]

Charlie’s Restaurant and Bar in Yaletown

March 10, 2010

Disclosure: I was invited to the media opening for Charlie’s Restaurant and Bar last night.  As a result, this meal and everything I will write about in this post was provided on the house. I noticed before the Olympics had started in February that there was a new kid on the block which just opened [...]

Cibo Trattoria in Yaletown

February 7, 2010

Last night, four of us were trying to come up with an Italian restaurant that we hadn’t tried yet, and after some deliberation and discussion we finalized on Cibo Trattoria, on Seymour Street in the Moda Hotel.  We managed to get a reservation for dinner at 8 pm, and started looking at the menu online.  [...]

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 [...]

Don Francesco Italian Restaurant on Burrard Street

January 22, 2010

It was time again for another monthly lunch with two of my foodie friends.  I find it to sometimes be difficult seeking out great places that are open for lunch and not just dinner, so we had a hard time picking a new restaurant for this meal out. One of my friends has been going [...]

Red Card Sports Bar in Downtown Vancouver

January 8, 2010

Last night I was heading out to my first Canucks game of the season last minute (I found out in the afternoon), and needed to come up with a place to have a quick dinner before walking over to GM Place.  I was asking around for some suggestions, and a co-worker mentioned that I should try [...]

Sciue Italian Bakery in Yaletown

January 3, 2010

This morning we were wandering around to find a weekend brunch place, and thought we’d give Sciue a shot.  It’s located just across from Urban Fare on Davie Street and hasn’t been there for too much more than a year or so, I believe.  Luckily, once we arrived, we had about 45 minutes left to [...]
