This past weekend, we were invited to go to the Brunch Crawls as part of the Dine Out Vancouver festivities. Put on by Richard the Vancouver Foodster. The first of the brunch crawl series was in Gastown. In 4 hours, Mr. and I checked out 7 different spots in Gastown.
A 5th location of Chatime, a bubble tea franchise originated from Taiwan, has just opened in Surrey. Thanks to our friends at ChineseBites, I checked out the location before its grand opening day. I really like that you can choose ice and sugar levels here at Chatime. I would suggest no more than 50% or 80% sugar as most of these drinks tend to be on the sweet side.
We were invited to go on a tour to check out the various Donnelly Group properties and their Dine Out Vancouver menu. Donnelly Group locations are offering their Dine Out menu at $20. Executive Chef Alvin Pillay has recently returned to the company group, and he's quite proud of the menus that he's put together. After tasting some of the items, I thought it's pretty good value for the money. The menu seems ordinary, but executive chef and the kitchen teams have added some flare to the classics. Pick a location that offers the vibe and atmosphere that you want, a $20 3-course dinner isn't such a bad idea for a dinner out.
Because I take the Canada Line to work everyday, as I exit the Waterfront station I would see the banner sign of the Cannibal Cafe. It's been a couple of months now and I've been expecting a somewhat more permanent fixture by this point. Nonetheless, when they're selling a Groupon, I bought one to give it a try.
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.
