Nicli Antica Pizzeria
After the Havana Club party at the Clough Club back in June, I decided to grab a bit more food with my friends over at Nicli Antica Pizzeria.

Caché Bistro & Lounge
After the Minami Grand Opening Party, I was still a bit hungry since I couldn’t eat much. The place was packed, and had mostly seafood, but still had a good time. A friend and I decided to go eat a bit more, so we decided on Caché Bistro & Lounge. They took over the old Charm Modern Thai space, and serve French and Asian inspired food.
Ensemble Tap
Ensemble Tap is the second restaurant open by Top Chef Canada Season 1 winner Dale MacKay. This more of a bar/pub version, hence the addition of the word Tap to the name. We went here to celebrate a friends birthday, and I had just gotten back from Vegas earlier that day, so I was quite tired with 3 hours of sleep.
Kamei Royale for KameiKiss
The awesome VanEats team’s latest dining package is for KameiKiss at Kamei Royale. A 4 course package for only $19. They invited us to try it out last week, but couldn’t make it. Luckily they extended our invite for another week so we can try it out. Thanks!
Q4 al Centro for Dineout Vancouver 2012
Last night I went to my first Dine Out Vancouver meal of 2012. Me and two friends tried each of the 3 courses on their $38 menu. The restaurant actually isn’t that big, but still has room for an open kitchen, and a bar with TVs to watch the hockey game.
Chill Winston
Before the Jay-Z and Kanye West Watch the Throne concert on Saturday, we decided to eat at Chill Winston first. We’ve been there a couple times but only for drinks. I’ve been wanting to eat there for a long time though. We started off with drinks, and they have some funky names for drinks. One that stood out was Spooning Jesus.
The Flying Pig
Ever since I saw someone blog about the Braised Short Rib and Bone Marrow mashed potatoes, I had to try out the Flying Pig. Two ingredients that get me every time all in the same dish. It’s been in Yaletown for quite a few months now, and me and a friend finally went last Friday after shopping at the Canucks store during their Customer Appreciation days. The Flying Pig was pretty busy, but we were able to get the last open table.
Black + Blue
Each year for MePlusFood’s anniversary we have a fancy team dinner. Last year it was at Chambar, and this year we chose the fairly new Black+Blue restaurant by the Glowbal Group. I was happy to see Beef Wellington on the menu, something that I’ve been looking to try for a long time. Blame Gordon Ramsey. This space is gorgeous, with huge glass windows on the front, and very nice decor.
Hurricane Grill for #HurricaneFiesta
The cool guys at VANEATS offered us a tasting of their upcoming #HurricaneFiesta dining package at Hurricane Grill. Starting December 15 at 12AM, you will be able to purchase this dining pass for $25. Your options include:
Italian Kitchen
Italian Kitchen is one of the last few Glowbal Group restaurants that MePlusFood hasn’t been to yet. We just need to go to Coast and the newly opened Black and Blue. This is the more expensive version of their other Italian restaurant, Trattoria, on West 4th, with Pastas ranging from about $16 – 25.
7 Sweet Sins
I first saw 7 Sweet Sins when I went to a Canucks game last year, and finally tried it out this week. They have lots of desserts in their display case, and they have ice cream served on the other half of the counter. Many of the desserts look good and they had a wide variety from tarts, cheesecakes, regular cakes, mousses, and many more.
Samba Brazilian Steak House
Samba Brazilian Steakhouse is a place I’ve been wanting to go to for a long time. It’s an All You Can Eat meat restaurant where servers come around with meat on a skewer and slice the meat directly onto your plate.
