Restaurants

We had one of our finest meals of 2003 tonight at Diva at the Met. Diva's food in 2003 is just as fabulous as Diva's food in 2000 .  Nothing more needs to be said, really!

But of course we can't leave it at that.

Back in September, I spotted a new Filipino restaurant, Cucina Manila (5179 Joyce, phone number unknown).  Today I walked by and noticed that that the sign had changed from "Soon to open" to  "Grand Opening".  Didn't have time to check it out (other than noticing that the hours seem to be 10a.m.-9p.m.) but plan to do so in the near future!

Barb and I and some friends went tonight to Habibi's.  Nothing has changed since David wrote his mini-review of Habibi's back in May 2001.  Still some of the best food in Vancouver at some of the cheapest prices.

We went for the full meal deal (two dishes per person at $13.75 each + tax and tip).  There were five of us so there were 10 dishes.

The variety and vitality of Vancouver's Chinese restaurants never ceases to amaze me.  Green Village (2461 Nanaimo at Broadway, 604 258-9018), which serves excellent Northern Style food, and is highly recommended by my hairdresser at Scruple's on 4th who is originally from Shanghai, is a case in point.

More than a year after our first visit (better late than never!), check out our Mini-Review of Modern Club.  Perfect  Japanese winter food at a great neighbourhood restaurant.

Here's some photos of their delicious food:

More than two years after our original mini-review of The Clubhouse Restaurant, it still rocks.

We went there yesterday after Caterina Fake's fab Pixel opening and we found the food as inexpensive and delicious as always.

It's been over a year since our first visit to Green Lettuce and we've been there many times since but for some reason (probably laziness!), we never  wrote up a mini-review until now.  Check out our long overdue Mini-Review of Green Lettuce!

Looking for delicious, inexpensive Mexican food in Gastown? Check out our mini-review of Mexico Sabroso for one good place (and of course don't forget The Mouse and The Bean another inexpensive, delicious Mexican restaurant in Gastown).

Here's a picture of a cool refreshing sidral mundet Mexican drink that we enjoyed on our last visit last Tuesday:

Looking for Chinese food late at night but you don't want to drive to Chinatown or Richmond and you live south of downtown? Eat at Cafe Gloucestor! Check out our Cafe Gloucester mini-review for more details.

Here are some pictures from Guu with Otokomae.
