We had a rare foray into downtown Vancouver last week so I didn’t want to squander the opportunity for a great lunch. Baby was with us so we rolled the dice with the YEW Restaurant in the Four Seasons Hotel after Sherman’s kid-friendly experience. I have fond memories of riding up and down the [...]
CHARCUT Roast House has earned a slew of accolades since it opened in March 2010 in the swanky Hotel Le Germaine downtown. It’s again in the limelight as co-chef and co-owner Connie DeSousa is currently competing on Top Chef Canada. I have to confess, I hate the name. I dislike that it’s ALL CAPS [...]
My travelling style comes from my parents, who have worked in the tour industry for decades. That means I don’t set out on a trip without thorough research, a list of priority must-sees/must-dos, and an itinerary. My sister and I don’t know how to travel without an itinerary.

Once we arrived in St. Andrews, New Brunswick, the plan was to wander around town and grab dinner. But we were so tired once we checked into the Rossmount Inn that we decided to stay for dinner, even though we had the next night booked there as part of a package deal. I’m so glad [...]
I’m not one for superlatives but our time at the Rossmount Inn counts in my top 10 favourite stays of all-time. Not only for the location in idyllic St. Andrews-By-The-Sea, New Brunswick, but for the service, the value, and most of all, the restaurant. You drive along the highway with nothing but trees and then [...] |
