Lumière

November 12, 2010

This past Saturday evening, I was lucky enough to dine with friends at Lumière, on West Broadway, where Executive Chef Dale MacKay prepared a special meal for our group.

Octopus Garden

October 8, 2010

So I really, really like Octopus Garden in Kitsilano (on Cornwall) for sushi. Why? First of all, Sado-san, the chef and owner. He has a great sense of humour, is excellent and what he does (of course), and always has a big smile on his face. The last time I headed to this intimate, 30-seat [...]

Temaki Sushi

June 28, 2010

During one of the many stagettes I’ve been to this year (as those of you know who’ve been following me along to all of my destination weddings that go along with them), one of the places we decided to stop at for lunch was Temaki Sushi. There was a group of about eight of us [...]

Darina [...]

March 11, 2010

Over the weekend, as a starting place for my girlfriend’s stagette, we had registered for a group cooking class with about twelve of us in attendance. One of the bridesmaids found Quince Studio was available and would be able to do the course on a Saturday afternoon, customized to be a vegetarian-friendly menu (for the [...]

Local Public Eatery

March 9, 2010

After a long weekend of being kind of lazy as a result of socializing and having too much fun with the girls, I decided to meet up with one of them again yesterday – the caveat being that we would take a long walk around the seawall in Kits afterward to get a bit of [...]

Maenam Thai Restaurant in Kitsilano

February 9, 2010

So I’ve been trying to get to Maenam since my birthday last year when we wanted to book out most of the restaurant, but couldn’t without a buyout. That was back in June – so almost eight months ago! Finally, finally, I was looking forward to trying some Thai food that I was hoping would [...]

The Naam Vegetarian Restaurant in Kitsilano

January 29, 2010

So I’ve had several vegetarian (and non-vegetarian) friends of mine tell me about The Naam Restaurant in Kitsilano, and I just never tried it yet. So this morning, my girlfriend Sabrina (Become the Voice) asked me if I wanted to join her, as she was heading that way and needed to drop off her dog [...]

Let’s get something straight right away here – if you are going to East is East for dinner, you will not be able to drink any alcohol. They are not licensed and do not serve anything with booze in it (although they have many different smoothies and chai teas that look like they would be [...]
