New Restaurants

[SBonner]

Has anyone tried this new bistro? It is my understanding that they have gone with a B.C. theme for ingredients and wines. I also believe it is speared headed by a couple of ex-Rugby Grill employees.

Where is it ?

Has it opened yet ?

On West 10th Avenue between Alma and Highbury, on the north side, unfortunately in that same space recently occupied by the enormously unoccupied Asia.

Let's hope that someone has a lovely pair.

Yours, etc.

Let’s all do the eGullet supportive thing and go down. Let’s do Wednesday, un-announced and flood them with foodies at 5:00pm!!!

I am in...

[Foodie in Vancouver]

Are you serious? I'm in - won't have to cook in the heat! Let me know - could be fun.

If you are there, look for a frumpy lady in a "Stop tofu abuse -- Eat more foie gras" t-shirt (me) and a skinny guy with a beard in a ROM T-shirt (HWOE). Hope to get to meet some of you!

Hey! Where were you? HWOE and I had a lovely time by ourselves, but would have preferred to meet some of the Vancouver crowd. BTW: Pair opens at 5:30.

Just a brief report: we had Lamb Chorizo with wild mushrooms (the menu says Pea Shoots too, but they are apparently out of season; "Pair Signature Oysters" baked with corn and chard and bacon and cheese; and a cheese plate with cheddar, cambozola, and breaded, fried goat cheese. Also three glasses of wines, 2 organics. It was all delicious, very local, and by our (NYC) standards, incredibly inexpensive. Very nice staff, too.

Lovely city you've got here -- we're having a great visit.

Will tell more next week after we're home.
