Lunch at Market by Jean-Georges

Comments 3 by Rebecca Bollwitt
Disclosure: Unpaid, Personal Opinion — Our sparkling wine and pizza were compliments of Market. I paid for the rest of our lunch. Please review the Policy & Disclosure section for further information.

Tucked away in the Shangri-La hotel in downtown Vancouver, Market by Jean-Georges has been on my “to do” list for a while. Although I admit, I did stop in for lunch a while back with Michelle Ng from Foodie Tour but I have always meant to return. I had that chance recently when I met […]

Afternoon tea at the Fairmont is a tradition in many cities along the coast.

Holiday Tea is hosted […]

Formerly Elixir, the restaurant space at the Opus Hotel has undergone month of changes with the 100 Days, followed by the 100 Nights pop-up bistros.
