🍷 Vancouver’s Ultimate Date Night Spot – Brix & Mortar Review!

📍 Brix & Mortar 1137 Hamilton St, Yaletown This hidden-gem brick-walled bistro in Yaletown nails romantic ambiance and elevated comfort food – perfect for anniversaries, birthdays, or "I just love good steak" nights. 🏆 Why It’s Special ✔ Mood lighting – exposed brick, candlelit tables, intimate booths ✔ Unexpected flavors – Asian-twisted French dishes (hello, Sichuan pepper steak) ✔ Monday secret – reservation-only evenings = quieter vibe 🥂 Must-Order Dishes 🐔 Chicken Liver Parfait ($18) ★★★★★ Silky-smooth, zero gaminess, served with: 1️⃣ Grainy mustard (salty tang) 2️⃣ Fig jam (sweet contrast) 3️⃣ Pickled jalapeño (spicy kick) Pro tip: Ask for extra bread (they’ll happily oblige). 🍟 Beef Cheek Poutine ($22) ★★★★★ Red-wine braised beef (fall-apart tender) + crisp fries + melty curds = Quebec meets Sichuan. 🥩 AAA Tenderloin ($48) ★★★★☆ Perfect medium-rare, but sauce tastes oddly like Tim Hortons’ wrap (still delicious though). 🦆 Yarrow Duck Breast ($42) ★★★★★ Crispy skin, rosy interior, blackberry glaze – best duck in town. 💡 Pro Tips ✔ Best for: Date nights, small groups, special occasions ✔ Secret perk: Monday reservations = uncrowded luxury ✔ Skip: Steak tartare (good but not standout) 💰 Damage: ~$60-100 per person #VancouverEats #DateNight #Yaletown
