In case you haven't heard, in case you haven't noticed, it's Dine Out Vancouver time! I often take this opportunity to test the water, get a sneak preview of what some big players in Vancouver's dining scene have to offer. Here on VanFoodies.com, each of the writers is giving you their Top 5 list. If you haven't made up your mind, and/or have no idea where to go, check out the following list.
Deutsches Haus Restaurant at Vancouver Alpen Club
Mr. and I went to a food blogger gathering at Deutsches Haus Restaurant. Dining room of the Vancouver Alpen Club, I was looking forward to a treat to some authentic German food.
Molten Lava Cake: Can a Food Blogger Cook?
On V-Day, I had the pleasure of being treated to a delicious homemade dessert by Joyce. And yes, I’m referring to food (mind out of the gutter folks). For us men, chocolates are simply bitter sweet snacks that we sometimes choose over fruits. They have never been an important part of my life, and they will never serve as a substitute for anything else. So right off the bat, Joyce gave herself a pretty big challenge to overcome, not taking the easy way out to please a man.
Pho Viet Anh: The Little Pho Place Around the Corner
Best pho experience I've ever had! After a raving review from Ryan, we decided to grab a little lunch from a Pho joint (FYI it’s pronounced “fuh”; are you happy now Frank? Are you?) down the street, called Pho Viet Anh. This place definitely stands apart from the typical pho places around Lower Mainland. Inside, the restaurant is dim and cozy. The windows are mostly covered with bamboo sticks, the walls are painted in a brick-red colour, and the décor is very much Asian, though I can’t speak to its authenticity. Moving onto the menu, there is a choice of four distinctive types of broth: traditional beef, hot ’n spicy beef, chicken, and vegetable. In addition to beef, there are also chicken and veggie options as well. I’m a huge sucker for choices so this is definitely a plus for me. However, there are less beef options, with the menu missing the essential (to me anyways) beef tendon.
Red Lobster
Ever saw a commercial of which you found the product very appealing but you couldn't buy it? I felt this way when I saw the juicy, succulent shrimps and lobsters in the Red Lobster commercial on Food Network. Bad news - there's no Red Lobster in Vancouver! I must be blessed with all the luck. While enroute from Oregon back to Vancouver, we drove by a number of Red Lobster sign along I5. Exit 109, please.
