Hart House Restaurant

I have to say, sometimes I have the toughest time trying to determine a dinner location in Burnaby, especially when it comes to somewhere for fine dining and celebrating special occasions. Often comes to mind is the Hart House near Deer Lake. On a Saturday in May (yeah it's awhile ago, but I had the draft ready awhile back; it's just been collecting dust), Mr. and I went there for a friend's birthday.

Confessions of True Confections

I like the open and casual style of the shop, but I’m sure a lesser man out there would’ve preferred it to be more cozy and romantic. It’s pretty neat that they have all their finished products on display, so you know exactly what you are getting a slice off.

Hot Chefs Cool Jazz VI – Event Recap

A few weeks ago we told you about Hot Chefs Cool Jazz VI, a fundraiser for Bocuse d'Or Canada and the 2011 team led by Chef Ryan Stone. VanFoodies.com was invited to attend this event, so Mr. and I went and let me tell you, it's quite the privilege to have 30 of BC's top chefs cooking for you at the same spot. So take out your bib and let us walk you through this mouth-watering photo blog post.

Diva at the Met

For the first time on VanFoodies.com, all three writers have joined forces to provide you with a full scope of the Dine Out dinner at Diva at the Met. None of us has ever been there before, but we have heard good things about the restaurant. Intrigued by all the praises it receives, despite the recent personnel change in the kitchen (Quang Dang replaced Dino Renaerts as the Executive Chef), I personally was hoping for a treat.

Red Fish Blue Fish: Fish & Chips on the pier

Who would’ve known grilled oysters with coleslaw all wrapped up in a soft taco shell would be so damn delicious? I certainly didn’t before Red Fish Blue Fish. Red Fish Blue Fish is a little Fish & Chips stand located on the pier in the heart of downtown Victoria. It’s below street level and not easy to find, but the line up starts well before lunch time and extends into late afternoon.
