My experience at Chow was so wonderful that I can’t wait to go back and order the same things again!

Wanted pass this last minute dining and wine opportunity along. I haven’t reviewed La Terrazza for eatvancouver.net yet, but I have been there for dinner many times in a former life and was always tremendously satisfied with the quality of the food and the overall dining experience. This particular event looks like it might be fabulous.
If anyone out there does attend, please drop us a line and let us know how it was!

Hello readers! Let me take this opportunity to apologize for, what certainly feels to me, like a long hiatus. Life has been getting in the way of posting but with this submission I expect that we will be back on for regular tasty tales!
We’re starting a Sunday Brunch series and our first adventure began two Sunday’s ago at Beyond Restaurant’s Sunday Brunch buffet. At Beyond they combine breakfast and lunch and give you the option of choosing one or the other or both. If you choose brekkie you get it at a reduced price and if you choose lunch you pay the full price of both regardless of whether you take advantage of the breakfast “side” of the buffet.
Naturally, we chose both!

Ebisu on Robson
827 Bute Street - Second Floor
Vancouver, BC
604.689.8266
****4 Stars (out of a possible 4)
I confess to being a regularly evening Ebisu on Robson customer. It’s close to my home, and the evenings are busy with a great mix of local Japanese students and a pan-global clientele tempted by the sometime’s inconsistent but usually very delicious Izakaya-style food, and the well-priced drinks.
We recently discovered their lunch special and it just so happens to nearly fit our smackdown requirements. It’s in the plus/minus a dollar or two range so we are going to be liberal and include it in the mix. Why? Because I can!

A recent stop on our quest for the ultimate downtown 10 buck lunch was at enduring Joe Fortes for their Lunch Blue Plate Special. For nearly 25 years Joe’s has been considered a favorite seafood and chop house destination and a haven for suits around the piano and oysters on any given Friday afternoon. Right now they’re pulling them in at lunchtime with their different-everyday 10 buck lunch.
