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.
There are so many options in Greater Vancouver for craft beer lovers to find amazing food and beer pairings. If you are looking for a date night idea, or to try something different while still being able to enjoy a pint or two, I've put together a list of 8 restaurants ranging from Lebanese to pan-Asian cuisine, to Italian favourites and hidden gem fine-dining.
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.
For Mother's Day, I took Mama Lam to afternoon tea at Origo Club. They offered a special menu for the weekend, but surprisingly, it was at its regular price of $45 per person. Good on them for not raising the price on this special day because many places do. The number of items was the same as usual but with a different line-up of desserts.
