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 […]
I’ve actually never heard of Notch8 Restaurant before and the first time was when I was picking out a Dine Out Vancouver menu this year. The way they named their dishes was very endearing to me, plus they had grilled octopus on the menu! So Notch8 became my second Dine Out Vancouver restaurant and C-Dizzle […]
So 2018 is upon us and that means another round of Dine Out Vancouver! This year the festival runs from January 19 to February 4, 2018. In case this is your first time hearing of this festival, basically a selection of restaurants in Vancouver will offer set menus (appetizer, entree and dessert) for $20, $30 […]
My family and I have actually been going to Hy’s Steakhouse in Downtown Vancouver for years for special occasions. It’s Momsie’s favorite restaurant. We really enjoy the atmosphere and the level of service we receive everytime. In fact, one birthday, due to our special request, our server had the bartender make an Irish Coffee that […]
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 […]
My pick this year for my annual birthday dinner with Fannypack was Juniper Restaurant in Chinatown. I was intrigued with their huge gin cocktail menu and Fannypack sure sounded excited when I suggested the place so off we went! We were seated in a very private corner of the dining room area. The privacy was nice but […]
A lot of my dining choices have to do with Masterchef. The choice to go to Campagnolo was no exception. In one episode, the challenge was to make gnudi, which is a ricotta-based gnocchi-like Italian dish, except there’s no potatoes in it. I’ve never heard of gnudi before and it sounded delicious, so off to Google I […]
‘Perfect Pairings’ was the theme one rainy afternoon at The Keg Yaletown. To celebrate the environmental partnership between The Keg and Bullfrog Power, I was invited to a wine and food pairing event at The Keg Yaletown. As of March 25, 2015, ten of The Keg’s downtown restaurant in Toronto and Vancouver will be powered […]
Downtown Bellevue is so beautiful. Their buildings look like heritage buildings, but also has a very modern edge to them to keep things interesting. They also have lots of awesome restaurants!! One such restaurant is John Howie Steak, a pretty swanky steakhouse that makes Hy’s Encore here in Vancouver look like the Keg (just a […]
After a week of Latin festivities…back to our regular programming! Specifically…my coverage of San Diego! San Diego is full of local craft breweries, and on the third night, I was taken to one of these – the Karl Strauss Brewery in Sorrento Valley. Karl Strauss Brewery actually has a few different locations. This particular one […]
