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. Bistro Sakana often gets overlooked by the ever-so-busy Minami, which I’m also a fan of across the street, and it’s a bit of a shame because it’s a solid restaurant.

PiDGiN Restaurant – Prix Fixe Menu – Gastown, Vancouver, BC

By

PiDGiN is not an Asian restaurant, but it is certainly Asian inspired. Most courses were very good and I have faith in the team. It just lacked the minor, but noticeable details and finesse of a polished dish and I’m not comparing it to fine dining.

Follow Me Foodie to New York: Restaurants, bars, food & drinks worth flying for!

By

This list will continue to grow for sure. It’s New York, arguably “the best” food city in North America. I really dislike “best of” lists and I think “the best food city” is dependent on what kind of food you want, but generally many would agree that New York has it all – and they do.

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.
