This year, I only had one $38 Dine Out dinner: the Poor Italian Ristorante, with the name Tony Parsons attached to it. We didn't choose it because of its celebrity fame. We were simply attracted to its menu.
Grub
Double date with WK and MS again. This time we ventured out to the Main Street area to eat at Grub.
Novo Pizzeria – Old World Ingredients with New World Creativity
If there was one secret to great food, it’s passion. When someone really cares about the food they are serving, it shines through. This was my first time trying Neapolitan pizza. It’s a thin crust pizza cooked in an old-fashioned wood burning stove that heats up to almost 600 Celsius, for 60 to 90 seconds. This is done to produce a crust that is crispy on the outside yet still moist and chewy. “Simplicity is beautiful” rings true at Novo.
Dine Out Vancouver Returns & Past Dine Out Reviews
Dine Out Vancouver 2012 is set for Jan 20-Feb 5, 2012 and is now open for reservations. In its 10th year, 230 restaurants are participating in this event, offering prix fixe menus at $18, $28 or $38. I thought I'd round up some past Dine Out experience that we have had in recent years (2009-2011), good and bad. Maybe this will help your research as you try to determine which ones to try.
New York Continues – Halal Guys, Bread and Butter, Momofuku, Da Gennaro
In continuation to my last post, here's a few more places that we tried. Other than these ones we also tried sushi in New York (no, not Mr. Robato). It was awful, maybe because the fish quality in British Columbia is much higher, not sure. Also tried this supposedly "Vietnamese" restaurant, but for some reason it had a strange variety of items on their menu including various Chinese, Thai, and other dishes. Will not bother to review those thoroughly.
