Planning for this Mother's Day is a bit different since there's no dining in service, so we're resorting to afternoon tea to-go offerings and they don't necessarily require reservations weeks in advance. If you are looking to do something similar with your mom, here is a round-up of afternoon services available as to-go this year.
Recently, a famous Japanese tendon franchise -- Kaneko Hannosuke -- opened its first Canadian location in Vancouver. Tendon is the Japanese name for tempura rice bowl. I took Mama Lam and Papa Lam there on a Monday morning.
The official Dine Out Vancouver may be ending on Sunday, but some restaurants have decided to offer the Dine Out menus just for a few more days. Here is a list that I curated. I will continue to update this list as I hear more about other restaurants.
While Dine Out Vancouver is happening, did you know there's also Hot Chocolate Festival? In fact, this is the 10th annual Hot Chocolate Festival. 44 different locations offering more than 110 flavours over a 4-week period, up until Valentine's Day. First stop is the 1931 Gallery Bistro, upstairs from the Vancouver Art Gallery. They serve up 4 creations inspired by art.
Where have you been so far for Dine Out Vancouver? I was quite excited to see The Rise Eatery on the list. Last year they did their own prix fixe menu for $30 and I took Mama Lam and Papa Lam there. It was a good deal and we really enjoyed the food. This year, it's $35 and I still think it's a solid menu; I had them on my list of recommendations. So when I got the invite to preview their menu, yes all the way!
