Pizzeria Barbarella is the newest pizzeria to hit Vancouver, but it’s not the newest to hit the Metro Vancouver pizza scene. The owner is actually the previous owner of Ah-Beetz Pizza which was located in Abbotsford. It was once the only place to get authentic New York/Neapolitan pizza.

It’s the “best dim sum in Richmond” and the chef is Tony Luk, who was last year’s Chinese Chef of the Year. It’s Chinese fine dining and although slightly overpriced, it is generally very good. They do offer some unique dim sum I can’t get anywhere else too.

This is a definite feel good post! It had all the qualities I look for in a macaron. What? Did you think I was going to say “man”? C’mon this is Foodie in the City, not Sex in the City!

Psst. The Swallow Tail Secret Supper Soiree is back. Five Courses. Four Wine Tastings. Two Secret Locations. It’s one of the many Dine Out Vancouver food events happening this year and this “pop up restaurant event” is great for those who like surprises.

A preview of the Dine Out Vancouver Menu for C Restaurant ($38). The food was very good, but I personally enjoyed it much more with the added supplements and would generally prefer going on a regular night and ordering a la carte.

On the second day of Chinese New Year my true love gave to me, the “Year of the Dragon” Afternoon Tea! It may not be traditional, but it’s something new, modern and still festive to the New Year. Finish with a Matcha Fortune Cookie!
