Say Mercy! – A Marriage of Southern American and Italian Mash-Up in Vancouver [REVIEW]

The folks behind The Mackenzie Room are innovating again with their sister restaurant Say Mercy! and you can tell it's in the family because the same "I Want It All!" omakase-style menu option is available on the menu and some of the staff from Mackenzie Room have moved into Say

Land & Sea – A Hidden Gem of Elevated Hybrid Cuisine in Vancouver [REVIEW]

I hate the phrase "hidden gem" because I think it's misused for restaurants in obviously urban addresses (please, you CANNOT tell me OEB, in Yaletown, is a hidden gem of Vancouver that only locals know about). However, like so many others, I think I've found a true gem and its

Mott 32 – The Classiest Chinese Food Money Can Buy in Vancouver [REVIEW]

I have no qualms in recommending Mott 32 for a high-end Chinese food experience. Some people gripe about how food shouldn't be this expensive, so here's a comparison. For every basic need, a market exists for people who want to spend more money to solve that need.

The Wizard's Den – Immersive Cocktail Potion-Brewing in Vancouver [RECAP]

Escapism has been hitting Vancouverites hard this year. Between rain extending into the summer and airline tickets rising higher than the moon, local immersive events could be the answer for someone looking to stay local while experiencing something totally new.

Nobu Las Vegas – The $300 USD Caesars Omakase Experience [REVIEW]

In Las Vegas, particularly on The Strip, everything is expensive. Even fast food costs more than regional equivalents if you're visiting a franchise on the strip. In general, most prices shift upwards which means the top-end has to...

Bruno – $59 Brunch with Class in Richmond [REVIEW]

Classy is the first word I think of to describe Bruno, located in the Versante Hotel in Richmond. It's the first new hotel in Richmond in a city that...

Nam Dae Moon – Unique Rice Cake Desserts Now Available in Burnaby [OVERVIEW]

It's hard to stand out as a new dessert shop. If you open an ice cream shop, you are judged on your quality of ice cream relative to Earnest. If you open a bakery, your almond croissant is judged against the Nosh and Nibble almond croissant guide. Now open is

Kaneko Hannosuke – The OG Tendon Import Job in Vancouver [REVIEW]

Lines were out the door when this place first opened, and while the queue has changed, the amazing food and interior remains the same. Heck, maybe the greatest thing about this place is the service. Kaneko Hannosuke is the real deal and despite what some people say about feeling wronged

Vancouver International Wine Festival 2022 – Spring Fling Sunday Brunch [RECAP]

I can't think of many things better than having a plethora of wines to sip on while perusing a buffet table full of food and dessert, but that's exactly how the Vancouver International Wine Festival wrapped up its 2022 return to action. The Spring Fling Sunday Brunch featured 22 wines

Vancouver International Wine Festival 2022 – Dine Italia [RECAP]

Is it a sign that life is returning to normal given that the Vancouver International Wine Festival is back after a year off? This annual celebration of wine was the last large-scale event in Vancouver I published prior to everything shutting down in 2020 so it now holds sentimental value

Neverland – an Immersive Cocktail Experience in Vancouver [OVERVIEW]

Unlike a regular bar where you're ordering drinks and enjoying the ambience, Neverland, the Immersive Peter Pan Inspired Bar is straight up vibes. With an agenda of 3 drinks, interactive games, and a story to rescue Tinkerbell, this experience, much like The Alice and The Wizard's Den, is perfect for
