Bishop's is king of 4th Avenue in Vancouver. But there are some new kids on 4th...and they're looking to snatch the crown. GASTROPOD www.gastropod.ca FUEL www.fuelrestaurant.ca **Both just opened a few weeks ago.**

Wow! To everyone that replied...Thank you so much! Now I know why my cousins are so friendly and helpful...they're just like everyone else in the area! The reason I didn't bring up Alinea was that I am determined to dine there regardless. I was just looking for some experiences that were comparable food, wine, service, and experience wise. Your postings have definately given me much to think about. Reasons behind me mentioning Trotter's was because I had read "Lessons in Service" late last year and was really impressed with the stories I had heard from there. Reasons behind me mentioning Moto was because there is nothing remotely close to dining at such an experimental level here in Vancouver. The market here is young and growing, but I wouldn't condsider it ready for such a dramatic entry. Please feel free to continue any posts about anything you think I should try and i look forward to posting my experiences here after I have them! ***Having never tried authentic Chicago-style pizza...I am salivating about it already. Thanks again everyone!!!! Jason

Later in the year I'm going to be coming from Vancouver BC to visit some family in the area. I'm going out solo for some nights dining.... If you were me, would you choose Moto or Charlie Trotter's for an incredible dining experience?

Thank you so much for all of your suggestions!

I'm coming down from Vancouver and I will be staying at the Hotel Solamar (435 6th Avenue) later this month for a night. I'm looking for something pretty close to the hotel with French or Italian cuisine. (An excellent table d'hote would be ideal) $$ is no concern...Where am I going everyone!? Thank You!!! Jason ...this is also my first post!...
