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!

I could smell “hipster, but don’t call me hipster” from across the street. It’s creative comfort food with a twist, but I was slightly more inspired by the concept and menu descriptions than I was with the outcome of some of the dishes. Still a fun spot though!

L’Abattoir is basically the restaurant Yaletown wish they had, Main Street secretly wished they had, and Gastown is pleased to have. Personally, my feelings haven’t really changed since my first visit and it was recently voted as Top 10 Best New Restaurants.

I would say it’s one of the Main Street classics with a dark hipster vibe and eclectic menu that’s supposed to feature local and seasonal ingredients. Everything was still home made with pretty decent quality ingredients.

The food is modern comfort food with an approachable twist and it has a playful and creative menu. I get what they’re trying to do, but I’m more infatuated with its unique location than the actual food, but the food was good for the price.
