Bin 942

I almost feel like not putting this because Bin 942 is now closed, as of June 11th, 2011. I’m just gonna put this up as a final reminder of what Bin 942 looked like and keep it simple. It really was very small, long but narrow. Dimly lit, there was a short wait while the read more »

Locals Restaurant – Food from the Heart of the Island

After the visit to Coastal Black Estate Winery, we cruised back to Courtenay to drop off some stuff and look for dinner.

Hidden (Dine Out Vancouver 2010)

I’m not a huge fan of Dine Out Vancouver. It’s lost its purpose in the last couple years and it’s so hyped up that restaurants kind of forget the reason why they’re participating in this great event. Some restaurants have smartened up and either withdrew themselves (ie, Chambar which took out an ad last year read more »

Locus (Main & King Ed)

I caught up with an old friend during the holidays and we met for lunch at Locus. First impressions really do count, because every time I pass by it I think it’s some meet up for goth punk rockers. That’ll teach me though to judge a book, or rather, restaurant by its cover because this read more »
