The last time I was in Vancouver, I had Miku (@MikuRestaurant) on my long list of restaurants to try but never had the chance to check it out. Having heard such great things about this Japanese restaurant, I made sure Miku was at the top of my list this time around.
Every time I come home to Vancouver and have a craving for Shanghai food, my parents always take me to Shanghai River. This restaurant, famous for their xiao long bao’s, is located in Richmond on Westminster Highway, across from Richmond Centre.
Located in Kitsilano, Fable Kitchen (@fablekitchen) is brought to you by Trevor Bird, a Top Chef season 2 contestant. He came up with the concept during the “Restaurant Wars” episode and named the restaurant “Fable” for its farm-to-table concept.
During our visit to Vancouver, my mom planned a trip to Domaine de Chaberton Estate Winery in Langley, about a 45 minute drive from Vancouver.
It had been over 10 years since I was last home in Vancouver for my birthday so my parents wanted to take me out for a nice birthday dinner when I was home during the August long weekend. We ended up at L’Abattoir (@LABATTOIR_VAN), a Gastown restaurant which serves “French influenced West Coast Fare.”
