Verre Restaurant - Bone in Shortrib

Verre Restaurant Birthday Dinner

Update: This restaurant has permanently closed. So this year for some reason, AngryRussian forgot that we usually keep our birthday restaurants a secret and told me that he’s taking me to Verre at Coal Harbour.  When I said “Oh so I guess we’re not doing the secret restaurant thing anymore?” he said “Oh shoot!”. Anyways, I had […]

Cafe Salade de Fruits

Cafe Salade de Fruits

This year Fannypack and I did birthday dinner a little different.  We didn’t tell each other where we’re taking them so it was fun to see what we came up with.  It was also hard though since…we’ve both been to so many restaurants that it might be a repeat! We did well though.   I took her to Como Taperia for […]

Earl's Brunch Happy Hour - Eggs Benedict

Brunch Happy Hour at Earl’s Kitchen + Bar

This month, I went to Earl’s Happy Hour Brunch twice.  Both times were at the newly opened, BEAUTIFUL Station Square location.  Both times were glorious. Brunch is every Saturday and Sunday and holiday, and Brunch Happy Hour is from open to noon on those days.  During that time, all of the brunch food options are $9.75 and […]

Como Taperia

For Fannypack’s birthday this year I took her to Como Taperia on Main Street.  I had passed by this place many times and had always wanted to try it, so this was a great opportunity to do so! Como Taperia doesn’t take reservations unless you’re a big party, so I emailed the restaurant prior to see how busy it […]

Stanley Park Restaurant & Brewpub - Flight of beer

Stanley Park Restaurant & Brewpub

Stanley Park Restaurant & Brewpub is a new restaurant that opened just a couple weeks ago by the JRG group in Stanley Park. It takes over the space that used to house one of my favourite restaurants- The Fish House, so it’s huge.  They have a large selection of Stanley Park Brewing craft beer and quite a big food […]

Sing Sing Beer Bar - Pho Bo Sing Sing

Sing Sing Beer Bar

We had drove by Sing Sing Beer Bar many times before and had always been intrigued by the neon “WE HAVE BEER” sign, so when PrettySis was in town it was an opportunity to go for a quick lunch before heading for wedding dress shopping. Sing Sing Beer Bar was right on Main Street, and when it’s […]

Trading Post Eatery - Beers

Trading Post Brewing Taphouse & Eatery

AngryRussian and I decided to take a trip down to Fort Langley to check out a wedding venue.  In order to make it more enticing to him to make the trip to Langley, I told him we could go to Trading Post Brewing Taphouse & Eatery afterwards, and that’s exactly where we went! The Eatery is actually […]
