As far as choosing an intimate romantic spot one would be lucky to stumble blindly into this tres jolie French bistro.

Sweet spot with onyx black chandelier and velvet accents. Rich bistro essentials, nutty terrine maison, Dijon rabbit ,asparagus salad. 30 seats to pray for.

Sangria, flambe grilled Chorizo. Great place for a small group get together. Live music and often impromptu dancing occurs in the isles. Good times....

Description to follow. Something like: off beat place to dinner dance Italian style. Way too much fun.

Description to follow. Something like: secret recipe - world famous old world hand made noodles - now two locations.

Very sad that this local favourite just burned to the ground. A fond farewell to an old friend.

Way to wide for your mouth giant pastrami, corned beef, smoked meat sandwiches and pickles the way pickles are really supposed to taste like. A Vancouver gem for over 50 years.

A great escape to a fun filled world of Mexican gourmet. Expect to find an umbrella perched in your drink and resplendent flavours on your tongue.

A décor that transcends time and leaves you feeling slightly innocent and decent, this Victorian era patisserie is a charming little place for an evening sweet bite.
