Behind me was the skyline of my beautiful city and on my plate was the rest of the world. It was a refined style and exploration of unique ingredients executed with very subtle and delicate flavours. The flavours were simple, but very finely tuned. It was the work of a passionate chef.

Holy crap! No, not the cereal, but just holy crap. I don’t know how many Mother’s Day restaurant promotions are happening around Vancouver, but my inbox is literally flooded with Mother’s Day menus. It’s the busiest day of the year for restaurants. Follow Me Foodie to Mother’s Day Brunches!
A recap and the winners of the 3rd Annual Food Fight: The Battle for Brunch 2012, an annual fundraiser for Variety. I arrived late and I had to hustle through all the stations in about 20 minutes before they closed. 6 brunches in 20 minutes? It’s doable, but less talking more eating.

It’s a new French bistro and if it can remain as consistent as the both times I’ve tried it, then I’m looking at a new local favourite that is here to stay. It’s a neighbourhood restaurant with affordable prices for the area. The food is rich, but it’s still catered for West Coast tastes.

It supports local suppliers and seasonal ingredients, and it’s a very West Coast version of Canadian cuisine. The food is fresh and good quality and it offers sophisticated versions of the basics that are still very approachable.

Fried chicken has been the craze for the last few years in New York and the one at Peels has made several “Top 10 Best Fried Chicken in New York” lists. The menu features gourmet comfort food and American regional classics and it was an eclectic approach to farm to table dining.

It offers breakfasts, salads, sandwiches, and healthy options made with fresh ingredients. It’s affordable, clean, comfortable, straight forward, casual and everything is made in house besides the bread. It’s a great every day kind of place for breakfast or lunch.
