After an exhausting Northern Voice (a one day Vancouver blogging conference that will take place on Saturday February 19, 2005) planning session, we checked out East is East (3243 West Broadway, 604 734-5881) for lunch today. There were six of us, so we were able to use the table in the back which was an intimate mini-room perfect for conversation. And the food is delicious too.
We had a fabulous meal (check out the blurry camerphone photo of the yummy Mumtaz Salad above) at the Tamarind Bistro (warning, they have done something strange with their website and it now longer works on Macs, please fix!) tonight. Check out our Mini-Review: Tamarind Bistro
Bali Thai (555 West Hastings Street in the Harbour Centre Food Court) is the new Indonesian restaurant by the former owners of the Indonesian restaurant on Fraser (which I believe was called Tak Sangka). Excellent, fast Indonesian and Thai food.
Not only does Pondok Indonesia serve small groups well, they also served 24 hungry Drupal hackers, CivicSpace enthusiasts, open source people and political activists at a dinner I organized last Friday night with patience, grace and most importantly great food. Highly recommended!
Our local East Van coffee shop/bistro Libby's is now open until 8:30p.m. on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. Does this mean they are now serving dinner? I hope so. I will find out and report here but if anybody knows, please leave a comment.
According to their latest ad in the Courier, Libby's has free WiFi.
I need to check out the free WiFi as well as write a mini-review (summary: delicious paninis and soup, highly recommended)! So much to write, so little time!
