I'm embarassed to say I don't know any of the favourite restos you listed in your profile so I don't know what kinds of food you like. Have you tried searching on the CH Western Canada board? Or just go ahead and post your questions with as much detail as you can of what you're into and the Coastal Hounds will chime in I'm sure :-).

The 'musts' on our annual restnt list include Diva [famous for their Smoked Sablefish(black cod) entree] and Lumiere for elegant/innovative, and the two different Bin 947 and Bin 946? (sorry; can't remember the numbers)- crazy busy funky fusion tapas). and Mum's ?Gelateria in Point Grey area. and Vij for some unusual Indian dishes I've never seen elsewhere.

I believer Lumiere is closed for renos as of the end of April with Dale McKay in the kitchen and Daniel Boulud now involved. Rob Feenie would have been at the helm when Opinionated Chef was dining there. Mon Apr 07 08:50:52 -0700 2008 3569167 169233 grayelf
