It was my last meal in Vegas and it had to be something quick so we decided to head down to the Palio Cafe since it was in the convenience of the hotel we were staying at. It’s pretty much overpriced French-American food, but it’s actually pretty good.

I never would have guessed this place would serve decent sushi, it’s not even “decent”, it’s better than good! And on top of that, it’s cheap! It’s a bit of a hole in the wall, but it’s quick and cheap eats in Richmond serving great sushi at a great value.

Cioppino’s Mediterranean Grill is perhaps the most famous fine dining Italian & Mediterranean restaurants in Vancouver. I’ve come across Cioppino’s recipe book so it’s no doubt I was a bit star struck when I saw him wondering around the restaurant floor.
