It was my pup Tormund’s (as in Tormund Giantsbane…you know?? Game of Thrones??) 2nd birthday yesterday and I splurged on a doggy birthday cupcake for him this year. I’m not a pet spoiler and I don’t usually give him treats so this was special for both him and I. I went to a local pet […]
Way back during my high school years, there was a huge store in Richmond that sold Japanese snack and candy. It was heaven as I was a huge Japanese fanatic back then. I remember this store had loads of funky Japanese goodies you wouldn’t find anywhere else. One of the finds from that place was […]
This year was my first time attending the Coquitlam Craft Beer Festival. It was held at the Westwood Plateau Golf & Country Club in Coquitlam and featured 30+ breweries and 8-10 restaurants from around the city. Upon entry you receive a taster glass and a plate and then you can start going around the 2 […]
La Terrazza had been on my list of restaurant to try for a few years now and I’ve never gotten around to it until now! This was our second $40 Dine Out pick and last of AngryRussian and my four dine outs…I have one more to go with my parents…yes I went crazy this year. La […]
Royal Dinette was one of our two $40 picks this dine out season. In 2016 they were voted “Best New Restaurant” in Vancouver Magazine and also “Best New Restaurant in Canada” in enRoute Magazine, so that sounds promising right?! I really liked the ambiance of Royal Dinette…they had a really warm glow and a very […]
For AngryRussian’s second ever Dine Out experience (my third this year) we settled on Chicha. They are offering a $30 menu in a tapas-sharing environment, where each diner got to choose 1 appetizer, 2 entree tapas, and 1 dessert. Our bar-top quickly got crowded as most of the dishes except for the desserts came out […]
I have been to L’Abattoir about 5 or 6 times now and each time I have been extremely impressed. I rave about them all the time! So when I told CDizzle that L’Abattoir’s Dine Out menu was out, she promptly made reservations and a dinner date was set. I always start my night at L’Abattoir with […]
Kicking off Dine Out Vancouver this year for us was Biercraft Bistro. I had always wanted to try Biercraft but always forgot about them, so when I saw that they were participating in Dine Out and offering a $30 menu, it was a go! The appetizer version of Biercraft’s Salt Spring Island Marinier Mussel and Kennebec Frites […]

As of March 25, 2015, ten of The Keg’s downtown restaurant in Toronto and Vancouver will be powered […]
