I first wrote about Guu in 2007 when they had three locations. Now the Japanese izakaya chain has eight, including Toronto. (Hi Gigi!) The one we’ve been going to the most is Guu Richmond in the Aberdeen Centre mall. We usually go there for lunch because it’s so convenient (free mall parking), very child-friendly [...]
I love Chinese New Year in Metro Vancouver, surrounded by family and everyone eating a whole lot. A limited-time event that piqued my interest was the Chinese New Year afternoon tea ($34/person) at the Xi Shi Lounge in the gorgeous Shangri-La Hotel in downtown Vancouver. It ends this weekend.

This is an example of about how it doesn’t ever hurt to ask.
We were heading back to Calgary for a short weekend visit and of course I wanted to try a newer restaurant that I’d never been to. But because H had outgrown his travel tie chair and I didn’t want to lug a [...]
Gudrun fromagerie and wine bar is literally a hidden gem in Steveston. It’s down an alley protected by a big tree, and as its website states “tucked behind the Filipino karaoke hair salon.”
It’s unique for many reasons. In an area dominated by seafood restaurants and coffee shops, Gudrun is a cool spot for [...]
