🇨🇦 Who Knew Downtown Had Such Amazing Italian Food?! ❗️❗️
I can't believe I only just discovered this incredible Italian restaurant in Vancouver! Tucked away in Gastown, you have to walk all the way inside to find it—I'd never been before, but now I'm obsessed! We started with two glasses of 🍷: ✨ [Hugospritz] – SO GOOD 😍 The server recommended it for its sweet, refreshing taste, and she was absolutely right! Made with Prosecco as the base, it’s perfect for a light, delicious sip. 🍽️ Appetizer: 🧀 [Burrata Caprese] – The creamy burrata cheese had such a unique, luxurious texture, paired with fresh tomatoes 🍅, olive oil, and crusty bread. So refreshing and flavorful—my best friend couldn’t get enough of it! 🍝 Main Courses: 🖤 [Squid Ink Rigatoni W Carbonara + 🍤] – Rich, creamy, and packed with umami flavor! The squid ink pasta had the perfect al dente bite, and the carbonara sauce was decadently cheesy with a hint of smokiness. The shrimp added a lovely seafood touch—way better than regular pasta! 🍄 [Ai Funghi Risotto + 🦀] – My FAVORITE dish 😍 The mushrooms were the star—so earthy and aromatic! The risotto absorbed all the savory broth, blending perfectly with the truffle essence and creamy cheese. If you love mushrooms, DO NOT skip this one—it’s pure perfection! 🍰 Desserts: We finished with two desserts—chocolate mousse and raspberry black forest cake. Both were perfectly balanced, not too sweet, and paired wonderfully with our wine. ❤️ Briche Ristorante & Wine Bar is an absolute must-visit for Italian food lovers! 📍 Briche Ristorante & Wine Bar #VancouverEats #HiddenGem #VancouverFoodie #VancouverLife #VancouverDining #ItalianFoodVancouver #RichmondEats #FoodieAdventures #WineAndDine #GastownVibes #BestItalianInVan #MustTryVancouver #InstaWorthyDining #LuxuryDining
