Yaletown L’Antipasto

December 21, 2011

Over the weekend, I went with a girlfriend to the newly opened small restaurant in Yaletown called Yaletown L’Antipasto. Around since mid-November, this place serves up Mediterranean style tapas, wine and daily pasta specials that are cooked on just a couple of hot plates in their open concept kitchen, right where you can see them.

100 Days

October 4, 2010

This past weekend, I went to breakfast to try out 100 Days (in the Opus Hotel in Yaletown) for the first time with a group of girlfriends. It was fairly early for brunch for me (10:30 on a Sunday), and it appeared to be that way for some others as well, as it was around [...]

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 [...]

La Bocca in Whistler Village

March 19, 2010

Now on to my last Whistler restaurant review until the next time I hit the slopes. After checking out of our hotel slowly and somewhat late after daylight savings time on Sunday (terrible losing an hour), we met up with our friend Alison and wandered to find some brunch. The quickest place we could find [...]

March 14, 2010

This is a guest post by a friend of mine who recently went up and tried a fairly new restaurant opened by another friend of mine in my hometown of Terrace, B.C. While I haven’t been back for almost ten years, she has been there a few times recently for work, so I lived vicariously [...]

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 [...]

Mis Trucos on Davie Street

February 15, 2010

On Saturday, I spent the day wandering through the streets in Yaletown and checking out all of the tents and festivities that were going on during Day 2 of the Vancouver Olympics. It was great to see such a mass of people collecting in the downtown core and having such a great time. After spending [...]

East is East on West Broadway in Kitsilano

January 25, 2010

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 [...]

Sanafir Restaurant and Lounge

December 26, 2009

While my last attempt at Sanafir on Granville didn’t turn out all that well due to a meal I had earlier in the day at Kintaro that didn’t agree with me, I managed to have the chance to return this past weekend for a good friend’s birthday. And again, they had the upstairs booked out for all of [...]

You Know You’re Having a Bad Food Experience When…

November 16, 2009

So I’m now in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic, on vacation and while I was eating one of the worst meals of my life, I had an idea for this post. This is basically my experience last night dining at a Mediterranean à la carte restaurant called “El Olivo” at the Gran Bahia Principe Ambar. I mean, I [...]
