It's not often that this happens, but after my previous outing [https://noshandnibble.blog/shark-club-sports-bar-review-vancouver/] to Shark Club for the Oilers vs Ducks Game 6, I was invited back for a dinner, on the house. I was informed the experience I had was not reflective of Shark Club »
If there were ever a time-honoured tradition of gastronomic delight, pies served in pie tins would be a great example. They're offered in savoury and sweet options, value the shell as much as the filling, and are very shareable. I was feeling some serious sweet tooth during a »
I'm always on the hunt for interesting cafes. There are probably enough cafes in Vancouver that one could host a cafe crawl, but my body would not be able to handle the rush of caffeine from so many lattes. I found myself at 3 Quarters Full Cafe [https: »
Sometimes it feels new restaurants are opening nonstop, but that's something that keeps Vancouver interesting. The springtime is especially big for sprouting businesses looking to take advantage of a tourist-friendly summer. Where does that put restaurants like Joe Fortes Seafood and Chop House [www.joefortes.ca/], which has »
It's not often I can say that I've dined at a majority of restaurants in a locale, but with Mayne Island [www.mayneisland.com/], BC and its (at this time of writing) 4 eateries, it was possible. On my last journey across the water, I managed »
Lattes are my go-to whenever I'm at any coffee shop. Luckily, I live and work in Vancouver where coffee shops are aplenty and so my latest coffee-venture took me to Propaganda Coffee [www.propagandacoffee.ca/] in Chinatown. Espresso: Team GlueCrew came here for a mid-afternoon coffee and I »
This past weekend I was watching Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 (Baby Groot [https://filmschoolrejects.com/baby-groot-good/], am I right?) and after hearing about Freebird Chicken Shack [http://freebirdchickens.com]'s new home at the River Market in New Westminster, I knew we were coming to lunch after »
Ever get hungry during an opera show? At the Pan Pacific Hotel [https://www.panpacific.com/en/hotels-resorts/canada/vancouver.html] in Vancouver, Saturdays are Italian Opera Buffet day at Oceans 999 [https://www.panpacific.com/en/hotels-resorts/canada/vancouver/stay/dining/oceans-999.html] . What this means is while you& »
Home teams be damned. At least when it comes to NHL hockey, if the hometown Vancouver Canucks aren't performing, there's still love for the Edmonton Oilers and Connor McDavid. To indulge in playoff action, I went to Shark Club [http://sharkclub.com] in Vancouver as I »
Burger-ism is the belief that a good burger represents a good bar. At least, that's my definition. The American, known as Main Street's version of The Cambie, is a local watering hole that's recently unveiled a burger pop-up by Robert Belcham [http://scoutmagazine.ca/ »
[http://noshandnibbleblog.com/post/160417052348/labbatoir-brunch-review-vancouver] Brunch is probably the one meal in Vancouver where the line between $ and $$$ blurs as most restaurants gravitate towards a median price.
