Provence Mediterranean Grill is of one of the many restaurants we have wanted to try but due to lack of money and time haven't.

Luckily, one of our readers, Saab Ken has. Check out Ken's mini-review of Provence Mediterranean Grill!

Thanks for sending us another mini-review Ken! As always, we welcome further contributions from our readers (requires free membership).

Last weekend, we went for another excellent meal at the Roti Bistro.

Barb tried the callaloo (a spinach like vegetable) soup. It was a pureed soup with a wonderfully spicy flavour.

If you order the soup, which is about four bucks, and a double for $2.25 (flatbread stuffed with tasty curried chick peas; available Saturday and Sunday), then you have an excellent meal for under $10! Highly Recommended!

I really enjoyed the limited edition Raspberry Hefe Weizen (made with local raspberries) Friday at the Yaletown Brewing Company (1111 Mainland Street, 604 681 2739).

A perfect summer drink. It's a beer yes but it's not beer as you know it. And it doesn't taste like pop either.

After yesterday's item about Feenie's, one of our readers, Plunk, left a comment about her positive review of Feenie's (with photos!) (free membership required). The menu seems reasonable "The Mains are actually all under $20 and everything under Rob's Favorites is under $20 with the exception of Steak & Fries ($23) and the Foie Gras/Short Ribs extra ($25).

Based on this early review that I found at eGullet's forums, it looks like Feenie's (beside 2551 West Broadway , 604 739-7115, the more casual sister restaurant of Lumiere) is now open. Curious about the food of course!

Chuq Von Rospach's fun rant, Vancouver, food TV, and intellectual dishonesty has some good advice about eating and touring in Vancouver.

If your time and money are limited and you don't like driving but enjoy walking, then the West End, Gastown, Stanley Park and Chinatown are all reachable by foot and offer tons of excellent dining opportunities such as Kintaro and The Boss to name a few.

And he's right,

For Roland's birthday, Toni and Kerrie made chinese hot pot for us. For dessert, Toni served a wonderful duo of pistachio ice cream and coconut sorbet and shares her recipes.
