Siena

By Mijune

Since I tried almost the whole menu I ended up being quite pleased with the overall delivery, but there were some hit and miss dishes. With the simplicity of the menu and brand behind the name I was hoping for everything to be a effortless score, but it’s not quite there yet although I wasn’t disappointed.

Anatolia’s Gate – Turkish Restaurant

By Mijune

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!

Mis Trucos – Modern Mediterranean Tapas (New Summer Menu)

By Mijune

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.

Frasers Bistro & Lounge

By Mijune

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!

El Barrio Restaurante Latino

By Mijune

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!!!!

Judas Goat Taberna

By Mijune

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

By Mijune

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.
