Eric Tanaka’s Dining Adventures/Vancouver BC
If you haven’t been to Vancouver lately, the favorable exchange rate of US to Canadian dollar (about 1.3 US) makes this the perfect time to check out some great restaurants:
Vij’s: Super delicious, especially the jackfruit curry.
DB Bistro Moderne: we were there for “Friends and Family night” (their pre-opening event). Daniel Boulud’s brand new joint in Vancouver is just as delicious as his New York restaurant. Great charcuterie. The snail spaetzle was the stand-out dish.
Salt Tasting Room: Here’s the set up- 10 meats, 10 cheeses, 10 condiments plus matching wines (see photo). Very fun to choose and experiment with flavors. Our waitress was terrific. She picked a great bottle of wine for us- Kettle Valley 2005 King Merlot from the eastside of Okanagan Lake.

Hey Eric,
Good choices – we hit Vij’s and Salt last August, along with an Izakaya, and an unfortunate Chinese lunch (how could we have gone so wrong?) in Richmond.
