Restaurants

It appears that the Roti Bistro has either moved or closed in the last three weeks. Three weeks ago, we had a fabulous lunch there! This week, Barb saw a new awning there for what looks like a new establishment.

If anybody knows what happened, please leave a comment. It would be a shame if they closed because we really loved their down home, honest, and delicious Caribbean food.

On Monday, our Chinese Culinary Arts Class met for our fifth meeting (and fourth restaurant meal) at the Golden Szechuan Restaurant (101-1788 West Broadway, 604 738-3648). Unlike the Golden Great Wall Szechuan Restaurant, the Golden Szechuan actually specializes in Szechuan food!

Samosa Garden (3502 Kingsway, 604 437-3502) is a Gujarati style Indian restaurant with an African twist.

At the urging of Derek Miller and others, we finally tried Samosa Garden a couple of weeks ago and it was just as wonderful as they say.

Barb and I tried out the five week old Vij's Rangoli (1488 West 11th Avenue, 604 736-5711) on Sunday and it was an excellent 'lucky dip'!

Dean, the manager of Cafe Katzenjammer, emailed me to thank us for yesterday's Mini-Review of Cafe Katzenjammer. He told me that their schnitzel is pan fried and NOT deep fried. I have corrected it in our Katzenjammer mini-review. Thank-you Dean!

If you are a fan of German food or hearty food, you must eat at Cafe Katzenjammer. Check out our Cafe Katzenjammer Mini-Review for the full scoop.

[UPDATE 05 May 2004: One of our readers, Jason, who has an unknown connection with the Golden Great Wall  insists:

Helen, one of our readers, pointed out that Bon Japanese Restaurant on Broadway is no longer around. Thanks, Helen.

If anybody else has found any typos in the CityFood guide, please let us know by leaving a comment and we will gather all the comments and forward them on.

And, of course, if there are corrections for any of the content on VanEats, please let us know and we will do our best to correct them as quickly as possible.

We've added Nooru Mahal (4354 Fraser Street at 28th, 604 873 9263 and 1391 Kingsway at Knight, 604 875 1283) to our short list of favourite Dosa places (in addition to Del-Hi Darbar) after our first visit to the Fraser location tonight.

I hope that CityFood's re-design includes a blog component.

Why? So they can post corrections to their 2004 Annual Guide to Eating and Drinking in Vancouver. Such as the fact that Daimo Noodle house on Main Street is now called Kwong Chow Congee & Noodle House and it has been that way since 2002!
