Taste of Yaletown: Bistro Sakana (Modern Japanese Restaurant)

By

It’s the 10th annual Taste of Yaletown, and from Oct. 16-30 select Yaletown restaurants will be offering set menus for $25, $35, or $45.

Blue Water Cafe + Raw Bar – Unsung Heroes (Seafood) Festival

By

Despite Unsung Heroes being on it’s 10th year, it still doesn’t get the attention it deserves. Chef Pabst creates a genius menu showcasing under-utilized seafood and it’s one of my favourite menus of the year. The only “wrong” is that it is only available for the month of February.
