#DineOut with @hummingbird604 and @eatDockside

Luca’s Cucina and Taphouse (Victoria, BC)
There are some gems that come into your life just by sheer luck. I was looking for a place to eat at during my visit to Victoria for WordCamp Victoria 2012. Since I stayed at the Accent Inns near No,...

Nicli Antica Pizzeria (Gastown)
So, I finally made it. Finally, after 8 attempts (all of them with JT) to have dinner at Nicli Antica Pizzeria, I made it (with my good friend Minna from The Network Hub, instead of JT – and I feel...

Tavola (West End, Robson and Denman)
I had my heart set on trying Tapastree (the former incarnation of now Tavola) and I never had an opportunity to do so. But I have eaten at Nook before (the brother restaurant of Tavola), loved it and...

The Bengal Lounge at The Fairmont Empress (Victoria, BC)
Considering how little time academics have to eat, let alone eat AND socialize, I feel blessed that my good friend Janni Aragon (Political Science, University of Victoria) had the time to come meet me...

Scoozis & Cassandra’s Wine Room (Downtown Vancouver, Financial District)
Obviously because of my good friend Cassandra Anderton, anything with the name “Cassandra” and “wine” makes me turn my head twice and think of her. Well, recently my good friend Minna Van and I went...

Chambar (Crosstown)
I went into Chambar (located in the area now known as Crosstown, just outside the Skytrain station Stadium/Chinatown) expecting (and perhaps even secretly hoping) not to like it, and I came out with a...

Luke’s Corner Bar & Kitchen (Fairview Slopes/South Granville)
So, full disclosure: I hated The Red Door (the previous incarnation of Luke’s Corner Bar & Kitchen near 14th Avenue and Granville) and thus I had avoided a visit. But since I was going to the...

Original Tandoori Kitchen (South Main/Sunset)
I have been addicted to Indian food for a long, long while. I would say, ever since I moved to Vancouver, which already surpasses the decade. I have tried numerous Indian restaurants, but the ones that...

Guu Otokomae (Guu Izakaya, Gastown)
Few things make me happier than dinner with one of my closest friends (Air). She is fond of the Guu Izakaya family (I have my reservations, mostly because of the attitude on the Thurlow one), but since...

La Buca (Dunbar/Southlands-Arbutus Ridge)
I am a lover of fine Italian food, but for some reason, I sometimes don’t have the time to go and visit all the restaurants I would love to (also, I wish I had an unlimited budget, which I don’t). So,...

Kiso Island (Mount Pleasant, 12th Avenue and Main St)
The truth be told, I am wondering if the owners of Kiso Island must be the owners of Kishu Island (which got burned at the corner of Broadway and Main). I say this because the name sounds familiar and...

Wild Rice (Gastown/Crosstown)
So, I willingly went out for Chinese food (well, fusion Chinese if you want to say so). I have always liked Wild Rice, but as I’m not really crazy about Chinese food, I rarely go and seek to eat at...

CinCin Ristorante + Bar (Downtown Vancouver, Robson Street)
When I was an MBA student I used to go out and live the good life of a graduate student. Meaning, I spent a lot of money going to bars, lounges and restaurants. I suppose it’s part of the “training” (I...

Famoso Neapolitan Pizzeria (Commercial Drive)
One of the most fun nights out that I have had in recent months was having dinner after my panel at Science Online Vancouver this past Tuesday. The reality is, there are few people who understand me...

La Noria Restaurant Bar (Puebla, Puebla) #WeVisitMexico
While my photos of dinner at La Noria do no justice at all to the exquisite stuff we ate, I have to admit that this was, by far, one of my favorite dinners during the #WeVisitMexico Puebla Tweetup. We...
