I am thrilled to hear of Southern Girl's wonderful meal at Ouest. I have been keeping up on egullet for over a month now {and, as a matter of fact, learned of the site from my dining experience at the restaurant} and have been addicted to the site ever since! My wife and I were visiting from Chicago and were referred to the restaurant by the conceirge at our hotel. I hadn't heard of it before. I agree that the food was absolutely divine -yes, the parfait of fois gras was amazing!. Unfortunately, we did not order the tasting menus and I have been regretting that decision. The service was far beyond what I had expected. And { Southern Girl, thank you for remembering names- the hostess, Lindsay, was the one who chatted to tell me about this web site. (We forgot to get a buissness card- If anyone has the email addresses, let me know)} And to my delight, a few weeks later I saw that Chef David Hawksworth was hosting a Q&A on egullet, and that same week my wife brought home the magazine, Food Arts, also with him in it. I would like to thank Chef Hawksworth again for such a fantastic evening, and I hope to see more about him around! I used to think that Canada and Vancouver could not have food to compare with the food I can have here. IE. Tru, or Trotter's, but Ouest in Vancouver really can compare- {and especially at Canadian prices! :)}
