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 […]
Forage was a restaurant I’ve always wanted to try so I took the opportunity of my birthday to ‘gently suggest’ to Fannypack to take me there on a separate occasion to celebrate (as that is our thing), so that brings us to birthday dinner #2! As we were quickly told by the extremely attentive server, […]
After weeks of planning and rescheduling, SheShe and I finally got together for brunch. She was really wanting to try chicken and waffles, which seem to have seen a rise in popularity as of late. I of course was not one to object… I mean it’s fried chicken come on! So we looked into the […]
For my big three-o celebration, I had gotten together with some friends for dinner at Mosaic Grille at the Hyatt Regency Vancouver. Hitman had taken pictures but due to a technical difficulty, they are no longer available =( Good thing I have friends that also take pictures of their food even though they don’t blog. […]
People are saying good things about Sal y Limon (as you can probably tell from the banner above), a little Mexican joint nestled between a pizza shack and a bubble tea place in a small plaza on Kingsway and Fraser. I remember back when I lived in this area another quirky “Mexican” place occupied this […]
Miura Waffle + Milk Bar has just moved to its new Main & Broadway digs and they kindly hosted a pre-launch tasting event for the folks who had written about them in the past. Wendy reviewed the old downtown location a while back, so we got an invite and figured this time I could give […]
Wendy decided to take advantage of the Living Social voucher this evening so that I could try U & I Thai for myself. It was busy when we arrived but luckily Wendy had made reservations and we were seated immediately. They had the place done up nicely for Christmas with ornaments and wreaths etc. We […]
