according to blue mountain website b.c'ers largest consumers of wine (per capita) in north america

now open la casita mexican corner of cordova and abbott

gastown curry as north on cambie as can be in gastown is now black frog pub, regular pub grub menu, kinda cursed location in the last yeara nd a half was a japanese resto then indian now this, its just about a half block away from a decent location

lolita's, formerly random ,now open on davie

not sure if coffee bars qualify here but java express 1st and commercial even though its damned competitive down there it always seemed full of what seemed to be loyal die-hards and maybe this could be a new topic started , called "start the egg-timer places soon to close" but was by ohana hawaiian bbq the other day and place was empty with chef sititing out front with what appeared think to be other staff, never a good sign!

been a few times for a-y-c-e lunch a carnivores dream but make sure to have a jug of water on the table as the meat is incredibly salty

yup, its chinese run so they have all sorts of burgers as well as chow mein

stellas belgian resto on the drive on corner of grandview park, owned by dean mallel of incendio(s) , kinda dissapointed in belgian beer selection (used to live there) only about 4 or 5 of them, also heavy on the tapas, kinda got the feeling he's trying to ride on the coat-tails of chambar with the whole belgian thing, but just opened so there is still hope

went by library today and saw them clearing chairs out of fox and fiddle asked oneof the guys if he knew what was going in there next, he said another bar, i don't get it, terrible location so far death count at one restaurant and one pub

the place on davie is called soho they have $ 0.25 wings all day tuesdays and thursdays, went and checked it out, they weren't great, they were asdvertised as thai curry but it was actaually more like indian curry and they were pretty damned miniscule, (.25 was all they were worth, HOWEVER the huge saving grace of the place is the very cheap beer, all pints are $3.75 including all the imports like stella artois and even guiness( an incredible deal!)

not sure of that, would guess they'll have momo's but as for them being buff as in nepal, for price reasons they might'nt be

i've been bycafe kathmandu a few times and shot the shit about my travels in nepal with the owner , a really nice man, and am looking forward to eating there once they open for lunch, dinner only at present

maybe so but going to little india would be more just for the cheese as commercial is where i do alot of my shopping therefore way more convienient

can anyone tell me where i can buy paneer without making the trek all the way out to punjabi market, preferably somewhere close to downtown, the drive sounds like a good bet but where specifically?

enthuze now open on denman across the street from west end cc

went by where nice'n' spicey used to be on broadway and noticed its going to be a chinwese and vietnamese place, yup just exactly what we need more of and also the old fox and firkin on davie opening up as "soho" on the 15th

was trying to get this info but to no avail , so here goes: is hanger at hsg part of fixed menu as well or not ,whats it served with, how much$ and is it available for lunch as well as dinner? thanks

pretty sure roti bistro is no more, could be wrong though

facts: he is canadian, he does live in l.a , he was jane siberry's long time manager, he dresses like heff and cooks like mc giver

pepita's was mentioned in the entertainment book thread, so i thought that if it was referring to the denman location( maybe the only one?)i thought i'd post the news here , sorry to say it too is gone and been replaced by pacific crab co.

ok one more to mention but kinda significant i'd say major chutney ( cambie & 18 th ish) significant as i believe the only fijian-indian resto in van, and i also noticed that the old fox and firkin on davie is now sold, very much anticipating what will end up there as what are the odds of a pub and a mc donald's going out of business in a prime hood like that let alone in the same location, jinxed location ?

nick's is defo not cheap, its the "hole in wall" where jimmy pattison likes to go to prove what a common everyday guy he is, come on jimmy we know better
