[Dine Out Vancouver 2025] Alouette Bistro at Executive Hotel Le Soleil Vancouver

Since Alouette Bistro opened in 2021, I haven't had much opportunity to try them since Downtown Vancouver is no longer my stomping ground. Their Dine Out menu offers limited, but solid choices, and some of my favourite classic French dishes. So, I was actually quite excited to try their Dine Out menu and I had Papa Lam as my lunch date. Yes, the $49 Dine Out menu is available for both lunch and dinner here at Alouette.

Quelle Surprise at Provence Marinaside – $49 Two-Course Menu

Launched on March 15, 2023, Yaletown's Provence Marinaside now has a Quelle Surprise menu everyday until April 15. Quelle Surprise translates into "What a Surprise," and literally, you will come to the restaurant and be surprised! I had the pleasure to attend a media tasting to sample some of the likely candidates for this feature menu.

The Acorn Restaurant – Where the Carnivore meets Vegetarian

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!
