$10-20

The Quinto Quarto menu featured all types of offal (innards and organs of an animal) which I am no stranger to. Honestly I think this menu barely scratched the surface of what this chef is really capable of, but I’m glad I had at least a taste of what it could be.

It was my last Alaskan King Crab meal of the season so I decided to have it at Kalok. It’s not a bad place, but it’s just very average. Many of the dishes I’ve had better elsewhere and it just seemed like a homestyle approach to Chinese cooking, but not in that “authentic” way.

New York is full of award winning delis that claim to have the city’s “best pastrami sandwich”. I asked a handful of trusted New York foodies some of their favourites and Eisenberg was one that came up often along with 2nd Ave Deli. A celebrity favourite in Manhattan.

For a purist who values traditional Japanese cuisine, then it might not be your thing, but the ingredients are fresh, the food made upon order and it’s all quite well prepared. I would treat it as an everyday kind of place as to why it has a strong local following.

No. 1 Shanghai Cuisine. Ahh, I don’t know about that one. It wouldn’t be in my top 5 places to go for Shanghainese cuisine in Richmond, BC, but then again I only tried their dinner menu and perhaps their dim sum is better. I found the dinner very average and it wasn’t very inspiring.

It’s a small restaurant that blends in on the strip and it didn’t look like anything special, but it is Thai owned and operated. The food was surprisingly very good and it was made with Thai ingredients and served more or less authentically. It was a pleasant surprise in Burnaby Heights!

There was quite a bit of hype when Pronto Caffe first opened last year and it was mostly due to Vancouver’s sandwich craze, specifically for the porchetta sandwich. As a neighbourhood restaurant it’s a good choice with it’s casual and cozy atmosphere and affordable prices.

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.
