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 [...]

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 [...]

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.

Spices Vietnamese Cuisine on Cambie

March 8, 2010

My first ‘regular’ meal out after being hit with a stomach virus for a week was scary. I figured I needed to take it slow and ease myself back into my usual fare. What better way then to have some soup! Okay, so maybe pho and Vietnamese food wouldn’t be quite as bland as I [...]

Yesterday we were rushing around, trying to get to the LiveCity Downtown Olympic venue to watch the Canada versus USA men’s hockey qualifier game.

Yopo Cafe in Yaletown

February 18, 2010

My mom has come to town for a week-long visit during the Olympics (it’s so very exciting for me to show her around during all of the craziness in my own neighbourhood!) and we wanted some quick and simple food close by for lunch the other day. I remember a girlfriend of mine has gotten [...]

Kaide Sushi

First of all I’d just like to say Congratulations to Canada’s Alex Bilodeau for winning the first Olympic gold medal on Canadian soil last night! I was lucky enough to get invited to the Men’s Moguls event last minute, and was so excited to be able to enjoy the experience of being there during that [...]

Shiro Japanese Restaurant on Cambie

February 14, 2010

Shiro is one of those great sushi restaurants in Vancouver that I used to frequent at least once a week when I lived a few blocks away on Cambie Street a few years back (its located in a strip mall near 15th Ave). I was definitely a regular there and couldn’t get enough of the [...]

February 10, 2010

After heading out to lunch with my friend last week that I hadn’t seen in awhile, we made plans to meet up again earlier this week to La Taqueria, located near Gastown at the corner of West Hastings and Hamilton Street. There has been a bit of buzz about this small taco shop lately, and [...]
