Adventures in Dining

Fri, 21 Mar 2008 15:22:26 +0000

The Dockside Restaurant in the Granville Island Hotel is an amazing place to unwind with friends, take that special someone out for an amazing dinner, or even enjoy a couple of drinks after work.

The Dockside is split up into the restaurant, then a lovely patio, restaurant bar, lounge, and the brewery. The patio has incredible views of False Creek, the Vancouver skyline and the Coastal Mountains, can you image all of this surrounding you while you enjoy your dinner.

If you do not belive me, be sure to visit the Dockside’s website and take their virtual tour. Or visit their website at www.docksidebrewing.com

You can find the restaurant at 1253 Johnston Street, Granville Island, Vancouver BC. Email address is info@docksidebrewing.com and their telephone number is 604.685.7070

Simply Thai

Sun, 17 Feb 2008 14:10:41 +0000

It only seems right that I write this story…since I am currently traveling around Southeast Asia, and Thai food is simply amazing.

Grace is the Owner and Executive Chef of “Simply Thai“. She was born and raised in Bangkok, where she apprenticed under the teacher of the Royal Thai Chefs for the Royal Family of Thailand. For this very reason you will be able to find true Thai cuisine, dishes seasoned with kaffir lime leaf, Thai basil, Pandum leaf and other essential ingredients that come directly from Thailand.

Be sure to stop by Simply Thai’s web site, or click on this link to get a look at there fantastic menu. I hope you get an opportunity to enjoy this wonderful restaurant.

As Valentines Day approaches, I have been trying to figure out what would be different for a change. Though, I know the old stand-ins are always there, and flowers and chocolates are good…but why not try and hit a home run this year.

Dance the night away on this memorable Valentine’s evening!
