Pub nouveau.. My kind of place! "It's one of those places that suits Vancouver to a tee" (quote HB who wants a "citation" for using his words in MY review...fight ensues.."it's my Yelp site goddamn it! Get your own!"). Very unpretentious joint with…More »
Very friendly server we had last night. We ordered the BBQ set B and it was a whole lot of food for 3 people. Everything was fresh and delicious and I loved that they had parking (always a bonus!). Go hungry.
Dropped in last night to order just the soft shell crab, only to find out that they only have in a maki roll format. No problem, says the wonderful hostess, we can do it for you on its own. Fantastic service, the crab was a generous portion. She…More »

Though I ordered to go, I couldn't help but notice the very lively interior on a Friday night. The place was filled with happy Whistler fellas; British/Aussie accents could be heard at the bar part and a couple of individuals came in to greet/hug…More »
"It's a small, small world full of lots of cash, so grab your SUV and your brick of hash.." Here's my Whistler theme song, sung to the tune of...you guessed it! "It's a Small World"!
This song began playing in my head at our third dining experience…More »

After climbing up and down (that's a 1000 steps people!!) the stairs to get to and back from Wreck Beach, it was only appropriate to recuperate at an AYCE sushi place. We got there an hour before closing but everybody was totally friendly and…More »
Is it fair to write a review as sweet-cream induced happiness is setting in with each bite of this very milk-chocolatey Milk Chocolate Cake? Or how about the rhapsodic feeling of pineapple and carrot bits melding with cream cheese frosting in your…More »

If management had given me a loyalty punch card for every time I've been there, I'd so be on the VIP list. I vividly remember several drunken birthdays being celebrated there with college friends, random dinners with friends before going to Cineplex…More »
I've been to Motomachi more than a handful of times now and I've never looked back (not to Kintaro anyway). My fave is the Extra BBQ Pork ramen in either Shio or Miso while my better half prefers the Shoyu broth. I'm delighted to report that…More »

Foodies and sensible people generally go for Latin American cuisine to partake of ceviche. I've heard about the legendary ceviches at this place, more notably the Honduran Coconut Ceviche and the Baru Ceviche, so I hyped up this place to my better…More »
The worst thing about cleaning your kitchen from top to bottom is that it zaps all desire to mess it up afterwards, which means days of eating out until the calorie counter reality sets in. Thanks to Yelpers, I found My Greek Taverna and decided…More »

Must Do in Victoria To Keep Sanity (5)...especially if you've just moved there. You'll know what I mean soon about the impending necessity of keeping your sanity. It'll usually kick in around the 3rd month... These are mostly food places and I'll add more "must dos" as memory and time permits. It's 7 years worth of memories, after all. |
