I have been a fan of @tuttoyaletown for quite some I have been a fan of @tuttoyaletown for quite some time and their newest tasting menu inspired by the flavours of southern italy should be your reason to give this iconic restaurant a try. 

at $129 for two people, this 3 course menu include 2 appetizers, 2 mains (the truffle risotto and the veal saltimbocca were my favourites) and 2 desserts! pro tip: if you pre-book this menu you’ll receive a complimentary spritz to start your dinner.

it’s surprisingly hard to find a good burger in va it’s surprisingly hard to find a good burger in vancouver, but one of my faves is definitely @_burgercrush. 🍔 

their menu is simple but executed so well. they even have options for vegans and vegetarians! my go to order is a double cheeseburger with crush sauce and a side of crush fries and I can officially say this spot is chinese dad approved.

large portions and an unlimited salad bar in burna large portions and an unlimited salad bar in burnaby 🔖 

@hungrytiger_grillkitchen has a pretty large menu of beef, chicken, pork and vegetarian rice bowls and noodle bowls. the portions are generous, the meats are cooked well and I am a big fan of the unlimited pickled veg and cabbage salad. 

worth a try if you’re in the area! leftovers are pretty much guaranteed.

if you love canelés as much as I do, you need to c if you love canelés as much as I do, you need to check out this spot in osaka 🔖 

@caneledujapon has perfected the art of the canelé and their box of 12 mini (and I mean mini) canelés are the perfect sweet treat. they feature an assortment of traditional and japanese flavours and every single one is impeccably decorated. at about $20 a box it is a bit of a splurge, but worth every penny.

set your alarm because reservations open for augus set your alarm because reservations open for august tomorrow (july 6) at 12 pm!

this is no hidden secret, but @tetsusushibar_van’s lunch omakase is one I look forward to every year. it makes its annual summer appearance and features a $110 omakase with 3 kinds of appetizers, a noodle dish, 9 pieces of nigiri sushi, miso soup
and dessert.

the best spot for this experience is definitely at the sushi bar so make sure you book one of those coveted spots. 

worthy of an upgrade: uni and negitoro hand roll (+$26) or a slice of musk melon 🍈 (+$25).

for a showstopping appetizer you need to stop by @ for a showstopping appetizer you need to stop by @cprimesteak for their osso e manzo!

this decadent appetizer features colossal bone marrow, filet tartare, hazelnuts, parmesan, egg yolk, tonnato sauce and charred sourdough. it’s so rich and flavourful and the bone marrow adds an extra layer of flavour. 

other highlights include their fresh pasta. the uovo is a large ravioli with roasted garlic ricotta, wild mushrooms, hazelnuts and butter emulsion.
