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.
This is the second location of Jethro's and the lesser known one, so the line up was not as crazy as the Dunbar location. In fact, we were able to get a table as soon as we arrived. Jethro's serves breakfast all day long. There is a wide selection of savoury and sweet items to choose from.
For Papa Lam's birthday, I took a break from Chinese restaurants and went for French food instead. And we went to Bistro Pastis for a traditional take on this cuisine. Excellent execution on a classic menu. It's a fine dining restaurant with some comfort food characteristics.
By invitation we checked out the brunch menu at the District Brasserie in North Vancouver. As suburbers, normally we wouldn't trek all the way to North Van for food, but a couple of items on the menu intrigued us so we decided to give it a try.
I've heard good things about Chewies but I've never been to its Kitsilano location. The second store has just opened its door recently and it's located at the former Miku spot.
