First Visit: La Belle Epoque on Cambie

Submitted by Roland on Fri, 07/19/2002 - 22:51

Tonight we tried the delicious crepes at La Belle Eopque (3306 Cambie Street at 17th, 604 709 6181).

I had a banana nutella crepe for $5.25 that was scrumptious and everybody else had the lemon and sugar crepe for three dollars and change.

Shawn, a co-worker, pointed me to such a service, GoWaiters.com. They deliver "quality restaurant meals from Vancouver's favourite restaurants" including some of my personal favourites such as Rubina Tandoori and Tropika.

Submitted by Roland on Thu, 07/11/2002 - 23:13

I've only eaten at Tojo's once before and was not that impressed.

However I kept hearing great things about his omakase and he keeps getting awards! When I had last dined there, we went on a weekend, ordered from the menu, sat at a table not the bar so I thought hmmm maybe that was not a fair try!
