Dine Out Vancouver 2013: Yaletown Brewing Co.
I headed down to Yaletown after work to try out my first Dine Out Vancouver restaurant this year. Yaletown Brewing Co.'s menu caught my eye, with the simple, home-y menu. YBC has a nice relaxed atmosphere and is a great place to get some food and unwind or catch a Canucks game on the tv. Everything was delicious and you can probably guess what I enjoyed the most. The gelato - of course!
Heehee. This seems to be a theme of the restaurant, as all the staff wore tshirts that read the same. |
Wild Salmon Chowder - wild salmon with Yukon gold potatoes, bacon, shallots, tomatoes, dill and cream. |
Portobello Sandwich - portobello mushroom with Provolone, spinach, tomato and truffled garlic aioli. |
Mario's Gelati - vanilla bean gelato with a house baked biscotti. |
A fun bonus - some cotton candy! |

There will be plenty of things for your family to see and do, including performances, demonstrations and competitions. Tickets range from $9 to $12.50, with children 4 and under getting in for free.

Sushi Oyama
Sushi Oyama is always a great place to go for Japanese, as the food is good and the prices are decent. The restaurant is located on Kingsway in Burnaby, it feels like you are going to someone's house. I have heard the building was previously a funeral home, which makes Sushi Oyama an even more intriguing place to eat. I have been here several times and it's always been very busy, so make sure to make a reservation beforehand!
Salmon sashimi. The fish was very fresh. |
Spicy tuna roll. |
Green Dragon Roll - avocado on top of an unagi roll with masago and wasabi tobiko and bonito. |
Awesome Roll - crab, cucumber, salmon, masago, green onion, covered in bonito. |
Smoked Salmon Roll - crab, avocado, cucumber, masago, lettuce and smoked salmon. |

YEW Restaurant at The Four Seasons
J invited the family to YEW Restaurant at The Four Seasons for a full course menu. We were placed in a private room, surrounded by bottles of wine. We didn't know what to expect, as it was a chef's menu, but I knew there would be plenty of tasty food to come. There was plenty of variety to keep everyone happy, and the food was plated beautifully. My favourite dish is a toss up between the cold appetizer and the duck. Our server, Lance, was great and told us in detail what each dish consisted of. I would definitely come back to YEW for a special occasion. Just looking at the pictures below makes my mouth water!
