BURNABY: Hi Genki Japanese

are you gonna eat that? — Mon, 15 Aug 2011 04:45:46 +0000

We met up with an old friend of mine (we went to elementary school together!), her husband and their two boys this weekend for a playdate. They suggested lunch at Hi Genki near their house. They go there a lot so you know it’s family friendly.

It’s a curious restaurant located in the cafeteria [...]

CALGARY: Colonial Fusion

Part of the fun in trying restaurants is venturing into newer parts of Calgary. Located in Quarry Park — which still doesn’t fully register on Google Maps or GPS — Colonial Fusion was a bit tricky to find directions for, but it turned out to be pretty straight-forward (Deerfoot to 24 Street East to 107 [...]

[Don't worry! This entry isn't about eating them; it's about seeing them.]

Fog has always foiled our attempts to go whale watching in the Bay of Fundy, so we weren’t going to squander the stretch of sunshine this time.

Catamaran, Zodiac, tall ship and fishing boat are all options out of St. Andrews, N.B.

We went [...]

Named after the world’s biggest wholesale fish and seafood market in Tokyo, Tsukiji’s website claims that its daily catches are imported directly from its namesake.

I’m not skeptical because it is right near the airport, and the sashimi [...]

TORONTO: Killer cocktails + helluva deal

A restaurant named after a cocktail better make some good ones. Sidecar certainly lives up to that expectation, but it also serves up a helluva dinner deal.

Their Grade 8 mojito is a refreshing twist on the original, with Bacardi 8, lime, mint and peach bitters. I knew it was going to be good when [...]

CALGARY: Sushi with a smile

are you gonna eat that? — Mon, 09 Apr 2007 03:18:24 +0000

Globefish Sushi & Izakaya is a good place to forget you’re in the middle of the Prairies. I daresay this is the best Japanese restaurant in the city, and it’s no secret. The front door is always crowded with people waiting for a seat or for takeout, even on a weeknight.

Seating is limited. Maybe [...]
