Joe Fortes | My Go-To Solo Dining Spot in Vancouver 🦞🍽️

📍 Joe Fortes Seafood & Chop House 777 Thurlow St, Vancouver 🌟 Why I Keep Coming Back (For 20+ Years!): When I’m shopping solo and crave reliable, comforting flavors, this is where I land. Never disappoints! 🍞 Starter Drama: • Lobster Oil & Balsamic Bread 🦞🔥 Almost missed it! Had to ask (busy night 😅), but worth the wait—their house-made lobster oil + aged balsamic = bread’s best friend. Drip, dip, devour. 🐟 Main Act: • Grilled Ling Cod ($44) 🌟🌟🌟 Crispy skin, tender flesh with roasted veggies—simple but satisfying. Not mind-blowing, just exactly what I wanted. 🍰 Sweet Finale: • Half-Portion Tiramisu ($9.5) ☕️ Waiter lit up when I ordered (guess everyone’s keto now?). Classic, not too sweet, with a side-along ladyfinger for dipping. Paired with black coffee = perfection. ✨ Solo-Dining Perks: ✔ Cozy, bustling vibe (no “table for one” awkwardness) ✔ Half-desserts = no guilt ✔ Consistently good (like a hug from an old friend) #JoeFortes #SoloDining #VanClassics #SeafoodLover #ComfortFood #TiramisuFix #LobsterOilAddict #ReliableEats #NoRegrets #VanLife
