vandan

hmm nepali and tibetan sounds cool although from what i remember of food in nepal it was a hell of alot of dhal bhat( nepali version of thali) and momos which are like tibetan dumplings .the tibetan sounds great as i never did get a chance to get to that place upstairs on the 600 block w. broadway before it closed

i've always liked white tower on robson very tasty and suprisingly good value considering its location they also make very good pizza

me thinks its for pets and owners in equal measure, no?

well dosa hut (hastings and clark) seems to unfortuanately have bitten the dust, although i'm not sure how it survived the month and some closing time a few months back(when i originally thought it was gone) shame as south indian in general and dosa places specifically are few and far between here, and also the brass monkey on denman is also history , a little too wannabe hip for my tastes anyway and as i was walking down denman the other day i noticed the soon to be opened newest place in pooch eats the doggie-style deli( yup, not kidding) and it gets worse the sell t-shirts lauding their eats with the caption the dsd" why dogs like to like their bowls", sorry folks just thought fair warning was in order here for your next venture down denman way

i've also eaten at that place on e. broadway, its called fassil a little on the grotty side but i enjoyed the food there

does anyone really ever go to delilah's? i live very close but have never had even the slightest inclination. i can see perhaps the old location being a bit alluring though, but the side door of the denman mall just ain't quite the same

btw jamie, as far as adega goes , the one and only i know of (main st. just north of greyhound station ) is still alive and well, am i thinking of another one? and btw where was the bayside room located, reminded me of bayside lounge also still going?

actually all things considered i think whistler is a pretty damned good place to find very good food ! don't know know what you're used to, or comparing to though?

i noticed they sold pandan leaves at asia market on hastings (i block east of main)they also have a fantastic selection of all other things asian plus a great little vietnamese sub counter in the back of it

for those interested they have wild coho fillets on sale at nester's on seymour for $8/lb right now, thats a pretty good buy!

peppyre you have peaked my interest regarding the delta wharf, couple of questions:is it located down the on the government wharf in ladner? also is it every day all year round, and if so approximate hours? lots of questions i know...

hmm i've heard that robert clark, chef of "c" is a big fan of the product sold off "the queen of thetis" down at fisherman's wharf, btw as far as varieties what should i looking for i know sockeye is very tasty but also expensive how does say coho or others compare?

anyone ever buy off the boats at fisherman's wharf?

i believe its called olympia, very good fish and chips there, i'm kinda trying to avoid biting that granville island bullet if i can

just wanted some input on where ppl think is the best place to buy salmon etc.. as far as value for $ with regard to quality and selection , has to basically be downtown as well.looking forward to your expertise is this matter

btw also keep in mind when doing comparisons between van and cities there as to which city has more of this or more of that , melbourne has about 1.5 x our pop and sydney at least twice or more

we all know that you guys got us hands down on the wine front, but from what i hear its the opposite on the beer front, specifically local "cottage" breweries and brew pubs, like steamworks and dockside brewery at granville island, any comments ppl?

you were right about it being in the same building, but its actually on the s.e corner of the building, picky i know, sorry

artigiano is across the street from there and on pender whereas the door of showcase is (was) basically on hastings

duh!! thanks

excuse my ignorance but what or where is hsg?

took your advice today 2r, bought some italissimasa fine kosher sea salt, btw the name of the place is zara's

don't some places allow it, but charge a "corkage" fee??

btw folks where can one buy italisimma sea salt products?

thanks so much for your informative responses so far, now, other than urban fare where would be a good place to buy these products?good selection, reasonably priced etc..
