I recently attended the Eat! Vancouver Food and Cooking Festival with my whole family. If you like free samples, this is the place to be. On our way in, we were given a goodie bag of samples including creamy dill potato chips, a yogurt granola bar, a green teabag, Splenda, and […]

If you want to go to Howie’s you better make it soon. This location has been notorious as a revolving door for restaurants and I don’t think Howie’s will break the trend. We went for a weekday lunch and during the hour […]

For my money, a good takeout place is one you have ordered from enough times to know which are the best dishes.
Capitol Hill definitely fits the bill for our family. While we rarely eat in the restaurant, the takeout menu has been a lifesaver many […]

No, you’re not seeing things. On this particular day, for this particular meal, IHOP did a bang-up job.
We hadn’t intended to go to IHOP (don’t you kind of just end up there?). We actually tried two other restaurants first. But since it […]

The Pita Bread Factory is not a restaurant, but it is a darn good place to pick up pita, tortillas, bagels, and naan at greatly reduced prices. Excess products and factory seconds are sold in the reception area of the factory. The product varies from […]

When we first moved to the area several years ago, we spent many nights ordering and eating mediocre pizza. We finally wised up and asked an Italian friend where he ordered his pizza. The answer - Viva Sue!
Viva Sue has been our favourite pizza place […]

The things I like best about going out for dinner are: the opportunity to try new and wondrous foods; having many different tastes and textures in the same meal; and of course, not having to clean up afterwards.
I must be getting jaded in my […]

I’m rather reluctant to even mention this place as I know it’s going to continue to get busier and soon I’ll be waiting in a long line-up in get in.
But, throwing caution to the wind, I’ll tell you about the “No 1″ so you […]

I love dim sum. For me, the sheer variety really adds to the pleasures of eating. Even with two people, you can experience many different dishes. You can each order your favourites and also try some new dishes - my kind […]

I’ve been to the Soho on numerous occasions, but after a recent experience, I think it should be renamed the So-So Bar and Grill.
I know I’m off to a bad start at a restaurant when I ask for something fairly basic from the […]
