🍽️ Vancouver's Michelin-Recommended Gem

I’ve been *dying* to try this gorgeous restaurant for ages! 🎀 With friends’ reviews split between love and meh, how could my curiosity *not* win? Spoiler: It’s a vibe. 💫 ✨ Appetizer Highlights: - BEEF TARTARE (Pic 4) – A must-order classic with a twist! 🥩 Silky beef sits atop crispy potato cake, topped with black truffle & parmesan. Unexpectedly *divine*! - SEASONAL SALAD – Sadly, the croutons were… *soggy*. 😭 (Why, universe?!) - HAMACHI CRUDO – Not for the seafood-averse (like me). A tad too oceanic. 🌊🐟 🔥 Main Event: - TRUFFLE CAVATELLI – *HEAVEN.* 🖤 Creamy mushroom pasta with truffle magic that rivals my beloved Dovetail. Obsessed doesn’t cover it. - CANADIAN SCHNITZEL – Fancy name for a $50 fried pork chop. 🐷🍯 Tasty with honey mustard & pickles, but… *who hurt you, wallet?* ⚠️ Add-On PSA: *Sautéed Mushrooms* = same as pasta’s filling. Redundant but delicious. 🍄 (No regrets, just facts.) 🍰 Dessert Drama: - WHITE CHOCOLATE MATCHA TERRINE – A *sculpted* block of pure matcha joy! 🍵✨ White chocolate, cream, and berries crown this bitter-sweet masterpiece. *Matcha stans, rejoice!* 🌙 Vibe Check: Moody lighting, *very* Instagram-safe for photos. 📸✨ Service? Impeccable (but brace for 20% auto-grat). Asian-friendly flavors—shoutout to the Asian chef squad! 👨🍳🇨🇳🇯🇵🇰🇷 📍 1152 Alberni St, Vancouver, BC V6E 1A5 #DateNightSpot #Vancouver #Foodie #VancouverEats #RestaurantRecs #FineDining #HiddenGems #MoodLightingGoals
