1. Queen Margherita
Queen Margherita serves a pizza with truffle oil. 'Nuff said.
But I'll say a few more things...
This is such a cute little abode. If I owned a pizza place, I would want it to be exactly like this. The interior details and finishes are rustic mixed…More »
2. Blue C Sushi

3. Cactus
Seattle, WA 98112
(206) 324-4140
After a burning craving for some great Tex Mex, we found ourselves at the Madison Park Cactus which really is my favorite Cactus location. It's located in the charming and quaint Madison Park area with a really nice vibe, which on a summer's night…More »

5. The Slip
As much hype as some other places get for their exceptional burgers, Slip is the most UNDERRATED burger joint, if you ask me.
Some of the burger combinations sound a little well, interesting, such as the peanut butter and jelly burger (on a patty be…More »
6. Clay Pit
When I first started dating my husband who's Indian, I did not like Indian food at all. It wasn't until he cooked me a homemade and authentic meal where I fell madly in love with ... well, Indian food :). That being said, there are very few Indian…More »

It was 2003 when I came up to Vancouver with a bunch of friends to go to Vij's only to find a line stretching far beyond what we were expecting, so we sadly decided to skip it. We tried again in 2009 but for some odd reason it was closed so we were…More »
