Motomachi Shokudo 元町食堂

Motomachi Shokudo is apparently opened by the same ramen chef that owns/opened Kintaro Ramen.  This new restaurant is supposed to be the healthier alternative to the fatty pork fat based Kintaro Ramen.  Here the chef uses only organic ingredients and the soup base is made from organic chicken rather than pork fat. As you can […]

Seasons in the Park

We went out for a family dinner and the restaurant my mom chose was Seasons in the Park located in Queen Elizabeth Park (did you know that this park is actually situated on top of an extinct volcano??).  My mom heard that it has a beautiful view so we decided to go and see. Indeed, […]

I could NOT find it anywhere else in Vancouver. Ouisi Bistro boasts authentic New Orleans cuisine, namely Cajun and Creole. On their website, they describe Cajun […]

Al Porto Ristorante

We grabbed some dinner in Gastown just before we attended the opening of a lounge of which my friend’s the executive pastry chef of.  Looking through our Entertainment Book, I decided on Al Porto Ristorante. It was a nice little secluded restaurant, its decor dominated by brick detailing. It had a warm ambiance. For starters […]

The main food item they serve is Sapporo style ramen. They also […]
