It was a hosted luncheon exploring South African wines exclusively available at Marquis Wine Cellar as well as the fall lunch menu for Hawksworth. An amazing heirloom tomato salad, confit pork shoulder and a couple wines worth remembering!

Jean-Georges is one of the meccas for fine dining in New York and this is his flagship restaurant. I had the summer tasting menu with wine pairings and a series of desserts that never seemed to end. It was one of my best dining experiences.

The owner is actually Jewish… and the restaurant is known for pork. Yup! He opened Traif which specializes in pork and seafood, but his heart is with the oinker. Although the rabbis would disapprove, I approve & it was one of my favourites in New York!

A must try destination for any foodie who visits New York. Shake Shack or Love Shack? It was both! It’s a sacred shack where burger lovers unite, and although I wasn’t first in line, I was there to join hands with its loyal followers.

It’s a tea house, not a bubble tea house, and it’s popular for chocolate fondue too. For me it was almost like Starbucks being run by Chinese people and there was Asian flare in the style, menu and execution of their drinks and food.

Oh so this is what Britney Spears was referring to when she sang the lyrics “Gimme gimme more, gimme more, gimme gimme more”! Oh god, more mama! Please! The savoury food is as amazing as their pies deemed “best in Vancouver”! A must try!

Hawksworth takes the concept of Pacific Northwest or West Coast cuisine and represents Vancouver accurately through the food he delivers. Although my expectations were not exceeded (but I came in with them high), it’s still one of the best Vancouver has to offer. Stunning dining room & exquisite cuisine.

A hidden gem that’s worth the visit if you value the talent of culinary legends. Housed in a 100 year old Victorian House it’s French fine dining at its best. I tried Chef Tobias MacDonald’s Global Chef’s menu that has already won Gold in the WACS Global Chef’s Challenge.
