Dine out Vancouver

uggggg long time no blog....I really hate it when I don't get my daily writing fix in. But I have been so dang busy. Doing my yoga each morning AND dine out Vancouver is on right now, which means testing out some new restaurants!

Thursday night was Pastis with some new friends and it was lovely. Jam packed (lucky I had made a reso) and a little loud, but the food was nice. They are doing 3 courses for $28 or $38...I had the $28 and it was all delish...the leek soup, the flank steak with their AMAZING pomme frites and a wee apple pie for dessert. Ivan loved his escargot and his duck confit and also enjoyed the crepes Suzette to follow. It still ends up being a bit of a pricey night especially if you add wine...and usually we just share a dessert...but the portions were smallish so three courses was perfect!

Last night I went out with a wonderful girlfriend of mine and we tried to get into Red Door as they have a 3 course for $18 menu that sounds awesome...but it was totally full and I couldn't even get a reso...if you want to go, you must call a few days before and go either really early or really late. So we walked along south Granville and ended up at Thai Spice. As we were both on the Veggie train of thought we opted for a broccoli dish with chilli's and a yummy sauce and the veg Pad Thai which was AWESOME! We sat for hours gabbing and sipping tea and water and with those large dishes and a little rice our bill with tip was only $15 each!!! SWEET...a nice, delicious mid week treat that was very affordable. ...and it wasn't too loud to have a proper catch up session. All of their dishes sounded pretty interesting...I would certainly go back to try more! They did have a 3 course "dine out" menu, but it didn't look that appealing and we didn't feel like dessert.

Tonight we are heading out the door to meet friends we haven't seen in tooooo long....not sure where they made the reso, but it sounds like a cozy little place in White Rock...Ill keep you posted. Give Dine out Vancouver a try and Enjoy!
