I’ll be honest with you. Wildebeest was not on my list of restaurants to try after looking at the menu. The only thing that looked remotely interesting to me was the Bison Carpaccio. But I DID tell Fannypack to pick the restaurants and for once she did! So I bit my tongue and went with […]
Another year, another Dine Out Vancouver! This year I’ve decided to stay with the $28-$38 range of restaurants as I think those give you the best value for your money. The first one for me this year is Shaughnessy Restaurant located at the Van Dusen Gardens. I’m all for exotic game meats, so when I […]
Update: This restaurant is closed. ORU at the Fairmont Pacific Rim hotel was the last stop for Dine Out Vancouver 2014. It coincided with Pretty Sis’ visit so it worked out perfectly as a venue for some much-needed and long overdue sister-talk. I’d never been to ORU before and I was very, very pleasantly surprised […]
OMG! 4 down 1 to go!! It’s nearing the end of my DOVF dash. I must say it’s been going good so far. I met up with GRock and LockerBud who I’ve known for 23 years. LockerBud and I go way back. Like waaaaaay back. We lived across from each other when we were young […]
For my third DOVF event this year, Hitman and I were invited by Sharon of Eat, Drink, Travel to join her at Ask for Luigi. Theirs is the $28 menu. I was especially excited to try their homemade pasta. It was very very small in there, and only had one bathroom. Good thing we made […]
L’Abattoir has successfully cinched its place in my heart for favorite restaurant. Honestly, I’ve never thought I would name one as my favorite, but L’Abattoir has done just that. I made Fannypack come with me for their $38 Dine Out Vancouver menu. In my opinion this was one of the better bang-for-your-buck restaurants as an […]
Near the end of a grey, cloudy day Wendy and I ascended to The Observatory for our first Dine Out Vancouver meal of 2014 on the Skyride from the base of Grouse Mountain. To our wonderment when the tram broke through the clouds we were treated to an absolutely stunning sunset of epic proportions, with […]
The annual Dine Out Vancouver festival is upon us, and we can’t think of a better way to ring in the New Year! Menus and restaurants are online now and the festival will run Jan. 17-Feb. 2. As usual there is a LOT to choose from with a whopping 263 restaurants participating! It can get […]
How is this year’s Dine Out fest treating everyone so far?? If you’re having trouble deciding on a final one, or even ONE, Rocky Mountain Flatbread Company (RMFC) would be a great choice. Extremely family-friendly (there’s a play area for the kiddies….and step stools in the washrooms too!!), it’s a break from the many other […]
Update: This restaurant has closed. Wendy and I managed to secure a reservation on Dine Out Vancouver‘s opening night this year for one of the more intriguing of the $18 menu hosts; Judas Goat Taberna in Gastown. For those unfamiliar with the Dine-Out concept, it’s a 17-day annual food festival where many local restaurants set […]
