Vij's

March 30, 2019  |  By: @flygyrll

I had really been looking forward to dinner at Vij’s new location on Cambie. The last time I went was when it was still located on South Granville with the relentless line-ups, the chaotic and crammed waiting area with servers frantically passing out free appie samplers… Read More

I am not a fan of Italian food. That said, this has not stopped me on my quest to find an Italian restaurant in Vancouver that I could visit and I have been meaning to try Savio Volpe for a long time… Read More

Fishworks

St Lawrence

For a few hours this evening, I felt like I was back in Paris  or Quebec City.  St Lawrence creates a strong sense of place… and then there was the food. This is Classic French cuisine with Quebecois inspiration. Read More

Calabash Bistro

January 7, 2019  |  By: @flygyrll

Kissa Tanto

December 21, 2018  |  By: @flygyrll

It has received tons of rave reviews and was voted best new restaurant in Canada in 2016.  This place is supposed to be Japanese Italian Fusion. I’d like to say it is more confusion than anything. Read More
