If you are asking for suggestions around Mid Vancouver Island, almost everyone would tell you about this little town named Coombs. So what's there? The biggest draw is definitely the Old Country Market, better known as the Goats on the Roof Market. Namely, there are living goats on the roof! We were lucky to see a few of them grazing and chilling on the roof. While we were there, we had lunch at the Cuckoo Trattoria Italian Restaurant next door. It has a good selection of pasta and pizza dishes.
[VanFoodies eat Okanagan] Hester Creek: Terrafina, The Villa & the Winery
For the Canada Day long weekend, Mr. and I went to the Okanagan. Last year, we received a certificate for a two-night stay at The Villa at Hester Creek Estate Winery, so we took the opportunity to spoil ourselves on this getaway. During our stay, Mr. and I also had dinner at the Terrafina Restaurant and tasted some wine in the Tasting Room.
Pronto Caffe – Fresh Pasta & the Porchetta Plate
Planning a double date with WK and MS and man, was it difficult to decide where to go! We all love to eat and there are just too many options. We finally decided on Italian and chose Pronto Cafe on Cambie.
Brunch Crawl Kitsilano [Dine Out Vancouver 2015]
We were invited to check out Vancouver Foodster's Kitsilano Brunch Crawl this past weekend, part of the Dine Out Vancouver Festival. It's similar to Tasting Plates, except it happens on a weekend morning, perfect timing for brunch. In 4 hours, we visited 6 restaurants in the neighbourhood.
New Pork Items at Famoso Neapolitan Pizzeria
Famoso has always been on our list of authenticity when it comes to Neapolitan pizzas. Some may find its dough too soft or soggy but that was the texture of the Neapolitan pizzas we had in Naples, the birth place of this pizza variety. When Famoso recently launched new menu items, we gladly accepted the invitation to give them a try.
