Aldea is a 1 Michelin Star restaurant in New York specializing in modern Iberian cuisine which incorporates Spanish and Portuguese flavours. The chef and owner George Mendes is from Food Network’s Top Chef Masters.
So where can you find authentic and traditional Turkish cuisine? I introduce to you Anatolia’s Gate in Burnaby, BC! Make the drive, it will be worth it. It’s a hidden gem and hole in the wall eatery that’s family owned and operated by a Turkish family. Most famous for their massive home made lavash bread!

Ah Mis Trucos… I can’t help but to smile every time I think about it. What can I say? I really like this place. It’s one of those places that leave a lasting impression on me. The food is honest, with high quality ingredients and the chef is passionate and you can taste it.

Fine dining in Surrey… okay well it’s not quite fine dining, but it’s casual fine dining. It was maybe good for the area, but it didn’t really go beyond that. The items were quite hit and miss, but the pastas were quite good and all for $15 on Tuesdays!

From the outside, it doesn’t look impressive. In fact, it almost looks a bit divey, but let me just say that this is a hidden gem and local favourite that incorporates Latin, Spanish and Mexican flavours in a very contemporary and gourmet way. Update post!!!!

The menu is seasonal and it changes frequently, but it’s more or less modern Mediterranean style tapas. It’s “Western” dim sum with a “dim sum” order sheet for a menu. Overall the food was good, but also not as impressive or satisfying as I thought it would be.

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.

Nove Italiano is a “hidden gem” serving inventive Italian dining at The Palms in Las Vegas. The chandeliers were made of Swarovski crystals, but I kind of felt like I was having dinner in Cher’s dining room, waiting for Purple Rain to come on and a guest appearance from Prince.
