My friends at Commodity Juicery recently opened up a location inside Ritual, a farm-to-table restaurant found on Denman Street in Vancouver’s West End. I’m glad they did, as I’ve become a big fan of Ritual as well. I joined them for Commodity’s opening night, visited...

This is perhaps the coolest and most intimate dining room experience on Vancouver Island and somehow I didn't know about it until this past week. I've been to the Westin @ Bear Mountain a few times for dinner as it's one of my favorite spots...
Delighted to see Foxtrot Wineries Pinot Noir being offered just in time for the holiday season along with their 2012 Chardonnay. This small winery from the Okanagan makes some beautiful wine and I wanted to make this my Wine Wednesday pick. These bottles are both...
One of our newest followers on social media was a restaurant I hadn't yet heard of but they certainly caught my attention quickly. After having a good long look at their menu, who was behind the restaurant, and what they're doing in this city I...
