We took a trip to Vancouver Island. It was a pretty epic trip -- travelled from Nanaimo to Port Hardy and San Josef Bay in the northwest corner, and everywhere in between -- 2,300km in 9 days. First stop, Nanaimo. It was brunch time when we arrived in Nanaimo. Downtown Nanaimo has no shortage of brunch options, and Gabriel's Cafe caught my eyes.
As you all can figure from my posts, I love meat. So when our beloved, vegetarian friends JG and BD visited Vancouver from Toronto, it pained me a little that DV and DH chose a vegetarian restaurant -- The Acorn -- for our brunch together. But hey, how else would I get to try The Acorn?! I'm game!
When I was contacted by our friends at Ford Canada that I'd have a Ford Focus for a week, the hopeful boy racer in Mr. asked, “is it an ST? Is it a hatchback?" As it turns out, it was a fully loaded (Titanium) sedan with a pretty blue paint job. It also happened to be the same week as we threw a surprise birthday weekend in Whistler for one of Mr.'s close friends. So we gave the Focus a thorough test on a 36-hour trip.
This is the second location of Jethro's and the lesser known one, so the line up was not as crazy as the Dunbar location. In fact, we were able to get a table as soon as we arrived. Jethro's serves breakfast all day long. There is a wide selection of savoury and sweet items to choose from.
This past weekend, we were invited to go to the Brunch Crawls as part of the Dine Out Vancouver festivities. Put on by Richard the Vancouver Foodster. The first of the brunch crawl series was in Gastown. In 4 hours, Mr. and I checked out 7 different spots in Gastown.
