Since our first visit to Edible Canada on Granville Island close to three years ago, it has been added to our list of staple because it has seasonal offerings and quality is consistently good. So for this year's Dine Out, we decided to go back once again because it had an interesting "Canadian" menu. And we made it a double date with Bryan and Kathryn.
For my birthday, Mr. surprised me with a dinner at Supermarine. Since its opening, I've been wanting to check it out so I was very excited when our car pulled up right in front of the restaurant. Supermarine focuses on sustainable, seasonal, local products, highlighting the best that our farmers and fishers can offer. There are a number of staple items on the menu with seasonal dishes as well as daily features.
In Vancouver, there is no shortage of fine dining options to celebrate your special occasions. The suburb, is a different story. Last year, Hard Rock Casino in Coquitlam revamped its restaurants and introduced Stake, a fine dining establishment. So to celebrate CC's birthday, a few of us girls went there for dinner.
As mentioned in my earlier post, we were invited to attend the private Amex Platinum Cardmember Dinner at Hawksworth Restaurant, joining roughly 60 Amex Platinum Cardmembers at the York Room earlier this week. Overall, I thought the dinner had delivered on all expectations that I had. There was a lot of textural contrast on each plate, with flavours that reminded you of fall. It was also in this intimate setting, allowing you to mingle with friends, or meet some new friends, over a long, elegant dining table.
Earlier this week White Spot launched its new Celebrate BC summer menu to celebrate exactly that, featuring local ingredients and select wines from farms and vineyards around the province. To make sure you get to try these items, we are giving away two $25 White Spot gift cards. Yes, two chances of winning!
