Update: This restaurant has closed. Groupon had a tasting menu deal for Raincity Grill, a place I had yet to visit, where 2 can dine for $95. Wendy had taken her mother out for a previous Groupon tasting menu at Raincity and really enjoyed the meal, and since my mom was coming to visit I […]
I’ve been wanting to try Maenam for a while now since I’m a big fan of all things Thai and was curious about trying Thai food with a gourmet twist, which is exactly what Maenam offers. The first thing I noticed was the warm, inviting atmosphere, made apparent through excellent use of light and colour. […]
Howdy, it’s Hitman here to start off this first post of a series where we’re going to review several restaurants we dined at during a recent trip to Victoria for my sister’s wedding. Victoria is notoriously hit and miss for the food scene, and I’ve had my share of misses there but thankfully this trip […]
Update: This restaurant has closed. Wendy and I had a WagJag deal for Eh! Restaurant so we decided to head down to the Alberni & Thurlow location to check it out. Prices seemed quite reasonable for this area with many entrees on the rather sparse menu under $10 before the discount. The decor was kind […]
Update: This restaurant has moved location. When SheShe saw my Facebook album of the foods I ate in Japan, she was especially intrigued by the waffles over there. So apparently she feverishly googled for a local source of Japanese-style waffle. Miura Waffle Milk Bar was what she found. It’s located near Yaletown but I thought […]
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 […]
Update: This restaurant is now closed. Dine Out Vancouver was good to me this year. I haven’t had a big miss and I’ve had the opportunity to hang out with new friends and have new, interesting conversations. Good times. Good times indeed. My next out was to hidden Tasting Bar and Social Lounge on Robson, […]
Update Jan 8, 2014: This restaurant is now closed. For O’s birthday she wanted to eat at the new Aoyama Cafe at Aberdeen Centre. They advertise that they serve the Japanese brand of UCC Coffee’s, and that the LA branch was voted top 5 coffee shops over there. Naturally, all of this makes you think […]
We had originally planned to have dinner on Coronado Island. However, the time we reserved for dinner and the time the last ferry takes us back to the mainland didn’t quite matchup, plus the restaurant is again on the other side of the island from where the ferry is, which is 10 blocks away, so […]
Update: This restaurant is now closed. I learned about Dot Dessert while searching for a Japanese-style dessert place in Vancouver. I was quite happy to know about it, since I really enjoy the parfaits at Chicco and any new places offering the same thing is always welcome. It was especially exciting since it’s not located […]
