Bistrot Bistro
1961 W 4th Ave
Vancouver, BC
I will be straight to the point, this post was scheduled on purpose for Good Friday… Read the why further down below!
Darina has mentioned a couple of times one of her favourite restaurants is Bistrot Bistro. With that in mind, Sherman (his posts of this visit here) had an interesting plan for it. Along with Mijune and myself, we went there with somewhat high expectations. The question was whether it would deliver – that is specially considering the last time we dine out together at La Brasserie, things went a bit sideways.

Once again, continuing with my series of places to visit/events/pavilions during this Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympic Games, today, Maison du Québec or Quebec House. Located between Russky Dom (aka, Telus World of Science, aka, Science World) and BC Place, next to this area are also Sask Pavilion and Ontario House. However, because of the long lines, I chose to go this one first… Well, let’s just say that all the lines were deceiving, it took me almost an hour from queueing up to sitting on a table! (However, that is not that bad, considering that the line for the Rusky Dom was circling the nearby area and towards the nearby parkade!). Anyway, here is Maison du Québec!

Le Pichet
1933 1st Ave
Seattle, WA
As mentioned in yesterday’s post, I shuffled this post and decided to put dessert first. Hey, who does not like dessert? Oh, wait, me not necessarily… But back to this post: I have started to have this “trend”: depending on how the project concluded (even the small parts), I might decide to splurge a little bit on that last meal before coming back to Vancouver. The fact that Seattle had so many options made it somewhat difficult, specially considering that Lola disappointed. Instead, I decided to go to a place that was well regarded but of an establishment type that I haven’t had that much chance to try in Vancouver (until recently that is): a bistro. That place ended up being Le Pichet.

La Brasserie

As mentioned in a previous post, I have been trying to meet other food bloggers. While I have met Darina of Gratinée previously, it was just for coffee. So, when she suggested us to meet in a restaurant (and, of course, with other food bloggers), there was no way I won’t go. After throwing suggestions, the place ended up being La Brasserie.

Café Salade de Fruits
1551 West 7th Avenue
Vancouver, BC
It was one of those days that I took the day off (*) and… Well, from the work perspective, let’s just say things happened while I was not there. (sigh). But, otherwise, it gave me the opportunity to visit restaurants that would be unlikely for me to visit (time, location, etc.). Salade de Fruits was such place.
* – Actually, it was a day off in-lieu of flying during the weekend.
