Forage is the new restaurant at the Listel Hotel on Robson St. at Jervis St., replacing O'Douls. The restaurant is in a completely different space and to me, the decor is a vast improvement to the old, dark O'Douls. Really bright and cosy with flannel blanket-like wall covers. Unfortunately though, the live jazz aspect is lost, I think. The focus is on sustainability, and I've been a fan of Chef Whittaker's approach to food for a long time. I've only had a chance to have brunch there so far, but hope to check out dinner soon. My brunch (a great hash with winter veggies and turkey sausage, with eggs and toast (served with house made cherry and berry jam) was delicious and reasonably priced at $12. Coffee was good too.
This is simply a journal of my food adventures, mainly in Vancouver, BC. Basically, a place for me to live out my long-time fantasy of being a restaurant reviewer. I hope that readers will find the reviews useful. I will include random bits about other foodie adventures like grocery and cookware shopping, cooking/baking projects, cooking classes, and eventually I’ll add a cartoon – The Adventures of Ha Gow, my little Chinese dim sum shrimp-filled dumpling dude. Foodies of the city, unite!
