Earlier this month, Mr. and I went on a two-week trip to Greece and Turkey. It was our last evening in Athens, and we found ourselves at Soil Restaurant, a MICHELIN one-star restaurant, as well as a recipient of the MICHELIN Green Star for its sustainable practices. Let me walk you through the 15 items on the menu and our overall experience.
Whenever we go on our winecation with our friends B&K, we always include a "fancy night out" with a wine dinner at one of the restaurants in the area. For our trip in June, I had my eyes on the 112-year-old Naramata Inn.
Mr. and I recently went on a 10-day road trip to the States. Kicking it off was a celebration of our 4th wedding anniversary and we spent a night at the quaint Willows Inn on Lummi Island, Washington. The upscale inn serves up a 21-course tasting menu every evening, yes 21 courses, that changes regularly and seasonally. It features locally grown produce and other locally fished, foraged and farmed products. And in addition to their kitchen, they also have an outdoor wood-fired BBQ and smoker.
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.
The Vancouver Fish Company has opened its door since September 2014. Located right at the entrance of the Granville Island, this seafood restaurant has been using Ocean Wise ingredients but only just recently that it has officially signed on as an Ocean Wise partner. And to celebrate, it's running its first ever Ocean Wise Festival and I was invited for a tasting of the menu.
