By far one of the best restaurants I have ever dined at in my life!  Located inside the fancy Pan Pacific Hotel in Vancouver, everything about the dinner was amazing!

Upon entering Sidecar my first thought was that its layout resembled a tram car with its oblong layout.  The staff (predominantly male), were dressed in a fashion that resembled the staff aboard the Titanic.  The restaurant was cozy and intimate and…More »

I've been to Mistura on numerous occasions, from corporate functions to dinner with friends.  I must say that Chef Capra never fails to disappoint!  If you try nothing else, you MUST try the ribs on their appetizer menu... it is melt in your mouth…More »
