Update Feb 15, 2014: This restaurant is now closed. If you didn’t hear by now, it is Griffins 18th birthday this year and to celebrate, they are offering their menu for 50% off till the end of September. Naturally I took advantage of this incredible deal and had dinner there with Fannypack. She’s the best friend […]
Update: This business is now a delivery-only service with no storefront. I’ve recently joined a bunch of those “Daily Deal” sites and I must say, I was skeptic at first but it’s been treating me pretty well. They are usually very good deals and the coupon for Cookies of Course was one of my first […]
Paul Croteau Confections had approached a bunch of local food bloggers to sample Mr. Croteau’s creations. He is currently the pastry chef of Campagnolo Restaurant and Refuel restaurant, and now he’s ready to “spread his wings” and open a confection shop of his own. We were invited to Refuel restaurant to have a tasting. Unfortunately […]
Update: This restaurant is now closed. Now I’m a complete carnivore. I don’t think I’ll ever become a vegetarian or live off veggies alone. However like most people that like to eat, I’m open to pretty much anything, so when a friend came back from Japan and we were to meet up for dinner, her […]
Update: This restaurant is now closed. It was Mom’s birthday this month so Pretty Sis and I took her and some other family members to a place interestingly called Cork and Fin in Gastown. I guess by that name it means they specialize in wines and seafood?? They are a participant of the Let’s Go […]
Been wanting to try foods of a different culture for a while. Finally my chance came when I went to dinner with GRock. He gave me 3 choices: Korean, Ramen, or African. I picked African right away. So that became Simba’s Grill on Denman (they also have a location in Burnaby). Apparently another coworker had […]
I had drove past Bandidas Taqueria quite a few times and it was last Christmas that I’ve mentioned to L and Jube that we should try it. However this visit was with neither of them, but with GRock, purely because of our mutual love for sangrias. It was a very casual place, which was funny […]
Update: This restaurant is now closed. The King’s Head Pub really isn’t a place I would’ve chosen to go to, based on how it looks. It looks really dingy and dark and dirty. However the reviews mostly seem to be good, citing good food, good drinks, good atmosphere. Plus, the new friend that I made […]
It was a night out with the girls on a Saturday night. None of us really have much experience going clubbing so I had the job of picking a place. After asking around, the first suggestion I received was Au Bar. So after reading up on Google, we (I) decided to give this place a […]
For my last Dine-out experience of 2010, we went to a place called The Refinery which is located on Granville. It’s a very small restaurant located on top of Sip Lounge (I think they’re owned by the same people). However it has quite an intimate setting and we were impressed. For my appetizer I picked […]
