Before a Canucks hockey game last week, we decided to finally try out La Casita in Gastown. We were able to have a quick meal before the game. The service seemed a bit scattered, and I know for sure that they sent our food to the wrong table at first.
Ever since Catch 122 first opened, I’ve heard so much good things about it; however, I was quite bummed out that it didn’t live up to its hype nor my expectation.
Here with a couple friends, I ordered a cappucino to start my meal, and a Avocado veggie sandwich with salad for my lunch.
Thanks to my friend’s kind delivery, I FINALLY got to try the fancy donuts from Cartems Donuterie. In the half dozen box were the infamous Earl Grey donuts, along with Mexican mole, Triple choclate threat, and the daily special: coconut cream.
EXP Restaurant + Bar is one of the newer kids on the block in Gastown. What’s so special about it? Well it’s a video game themed restaurant! So if you are a gamer nerd like me and my friends, this place probably appeals to you. Sadly, current liquor laws prohibit them from serving alcohol while allowing customers to play video games. That is their end goal though, and they are trying to fight that law. Hopefully they’ll win!
Before going to Rogers Arena to choose our seats for this upcoming hockey season *crosses fingers*, we needed to kill some time and have some food. We chose Pivo Public House because it’s so close to the stadium. I’ve been past here a few times, and at times it is really busy, especially when their’s a big sporting event on. This time, it was really dead with just a big group on the patio, and one table inside.
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.
St. Patrick’s Day was a really busy night downtown, and not a place to be for a party of 11 with no reservations. Our party grew throughout the night, and what started as 8 turned into 11. There was no way we were going to get a place together at a reasonable time. That being said, Pourhouse was able to accommodate us, although way later than we had hoped. They did their best to fit us all together though.
Two chefs and a table is a catering company in Gastown that opens for brunch only on weekends. This was one of the many restaurants that I make an effort to go just to try their food.
Last week before I went to see the Canucks game, Dee and I grabbed a quick dinner at Verace Pizzeria.
The restaurant is very conveniently located at stadium station, right beside the T&T supermarket. Honestly, I have walked by this pizzeria, and never knew it existed until now.
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.
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.
This visit has been a LONG time coming. I first visited Boneta during a cocktail tour with Vancouver Food Tour. This was tops on my list of places to go to, and some how it took me almost a year to finally dine here. It seemed like an awesome place to dine, with a really cool vibe. Maybe I was waiting for too special of an occasion.
