I was invited to a tour on the Granville Island to visit some restaurants for their menu preview. First up, Dockside Restaurant at the Granville Island Hotel. I remember going there for the first time for Dine Out back in 2008, then Christmas brunch with family in 2013, my bridal shower in 2015, then here we are again for Dine Out.
[Dine Out Vancouver 2017] Menus are out: What caught our eyes #DOVF
Dine Out Vancouver is back! Running from January 20 to February 5, more than 280 restaurants are offering prix fixe menus and more than 100 food-themed events are planned over this 2-week period. The menus are now live and reservations are open. After perusing the menus, here are our suggestions, based on past experience as well as menu attractiveness.
[Travel] City Travel in a Ford Fusion Energi
Recently, we had the opportunity to test out a 2017 Ford Fusion Energi for a week. We thought it would be fun to see what it's like to live with an Electric Vehicle. There's no denying that EVs are the future. Every year, there are more offerings popping up in this segment. They range from econoboxs to high end luxury cars. The Fusion Energi falls somewhere in the middle. The Energi is a plug-in hybrid. Simply put, it's a hybrid with the ability to drive on electric only mode for extended periods of time, and the ability to charge the larger battery pack by plugging in. So what did we like most about this Plug-in Hybrid?
Small Victory Bakery – Brunch over Mont Blanc
On the rare occasion that CC and I got to hang out we chose to check out CandyTown in Yaletown, and we decided to first grab a bite at Small Victory Bakery.
Provence Marinaside – Taste of Yaletown 2016 Preview
Taste of Yaletown is back! For the 12th year, 31 restaurants in the Yaletown area are each offering a special menu at $25, $35 or $45. As part of the media preview, a number of us were whisked away to one of the participating restaurants. I was lucky enough to sample the menu at Provence Marinaside. It's been awhile since I last ate there, so I'm glad to go back for a re-visit.
