Naked food

[cnspriggs]

Hi everyone!

I have a tough customer coming to town to please. I'm looking for a restaurant who you think makes the best food without a lot of intervention. For example, those gorgeous yummy sauces on the plates at Parkside would make him crazy. Price is not an issue. Ideas?

Cheers!

Are you talking about something like Morton's , where they show you the tomato before they lead it off to be slaughtered.

Steak, baked potato as big as your head and the tomato salad where you are bonded with the tomato ?

You could try some great seafood at Imperial or as Neil mentioned Morton's for your simply prepared veg and meat in a grand setting. Chef Jeff at Aurora Bistro creates great regional cuisine without over indulgence in the sauce department.

Japanese perhaps, a beautiful omakase meal with the best the region has to offer.

Park the car in Yaletown.

Have a couple of dozen oysters at Rodney's. Then head up the street to Cioppino's for steak tartar (if they have it) - or a "blue" flatiron steak (if they don't).

From there it's just a few steps to that fine place on Richards where the balance of the evening can unfold with a minimum of intervention.

I could have gotten the wrong impression of her, but somehow I doubt cnspriggs would be taking anyone to Madame Cleo's, if that is the "fine place" to which you refer...

I'd imagine the soon-to-open "Nu" to be full of culinary nudity.

Actually - mentioning Nu above of course begs the question of 'C'. Their food - though well constructed is not heavily sauced or overly handled. Good clean seafood-y flavor and a nice wine list to boot.

Sitting outside would be nice.... I love summers here.

[cnspriggs]

Thanks for all the suggestions! I'm going to recommend either C or maybe Japanese and see what gets picked. Oysters also would be great except I want to partake in the fun myself and have this annoying allergy to such yummy creatures.

Venison tartare @ Chambar. Bambi never tasted so naked.

Last time I was there it was venison carpaccio ... time for a return visit!
