West Oak recently celebrated its 5th anniversary in the Yaletown neighbourhood. As a follow-up, Areta, Alice and I were invited to a hosted dinner at the restaurant. We tried some new cocktails, a couple of appetizers, three entrees and a couple of side dishes, and shared a dessert.
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.
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.
CC bought a Travelzoo voucher to a 6-course tasting menu at Bauhaus Restaurant and invited me to join her. Since its opening I've been wanting to try Bauhaus, and find out what German fine dining could be like, and now is my chance.
Our friends at ChineseBites invited me to a Chinese fine dining experience at Chang'An Restaurant. It's located right under the Granville Bridge, where Nu and Stonegrill used to be, with the gorgeous view of the False Creek. It turned out to be an elaborate 17-course dinner. Hold the drool! This is going to be a long and delicious post!
