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 […]
Hey Vancouver it’s that time of year again! Numerous restaurants around the city offers 3-course dinners for $18/$28/$38 each! Hitman and I will for sure do at least one restaurant this year… It’s just been so busy! One of my favorite dine-out restaurants in recent years has got to be Rocky Mountain Flatbread Company (see […]
Anyone else went to the Surrey Fusion Fest over the summer? It was held over the weekend of July 16-17 and it’s basically a mini world cuisine/cultural event that included many food stalls and cultural presentations such as Korean drumming, belly-dancing, etc. The big-ticket event was the 9pm show Sunday night featuring Jay Sean. Bedouin […]
Our first dinner in Kyoto was something I very much anticipated. It was Okonomiyaki お好み焼!! If you don’t know what okonomiyaki is, click here. Okonomiyaki Kinoya 花の屋 was located directly across from our hotel “Super Hotel” (which was a really good hotel by the way). The prices seemed reasonable and it looked authentic so we […]
I interrupt the Japan Tour programming to bring you a review on “Cavalia“, a Cirque-esque equestrian show, created by one of the original founders of Cirque-du-soleil, now playing in Vancouver. It’s probably about time I did something with the “ ‘n About” part of my blog huh… Our show was last night and we had […]
Last year my friends and I discovered the gems that are there in the $18 menu choices of Dine Out Vancouver. This year L and I continued that trend and our (well, mostly mine…my friends spoil me!!!) choice was Rocky Mountain Flatbread Company, which is mainly a pizzeria. An organic one mind you. It IS […]
