Just left Whistler for the 2nd and last time for the trip and much of that was zog's & maccas at early hours of the morning. So I thought I'd post a few pictures of Van city's food which is where we are now.
We've found it hard to find good lunch and breakfast places & thought we'd go for a few suggestions that we're made to us; one from the trusty lonely planet book and the other from Fizzy-pops.
Templeton on Grandville street is a small diner where they serve vegan organic foods. Each booth has it's own mini jukebox and it's all set out like it's an old school diner. Brunch was great! Breakfast bean burrito with Rosemary potatoes... So full after! Thankyou lonely planet.
Fizzy-pops suggestion was Medina cafe on Beatie street. They serve lavender coffee and waffles with raspberry caramel. As we were there for brunch and missed their breakfast menu I had the les mergez which was home made flat bread with a paprika sausage, roast eggplant, haloumi cheese with fresh salsa. Lip smacking yum :) of course we had a waffle with chocolate lavender sauce but that didn't last long enough for a photo.
I have been cooking too not just living in cafe's and diners on this trip. Last night the girls and I cooked two Thai curries for our family dinner party of six. Green curry chicken and a vegetarian red curry AND had the left overs for dinner tonight :) curry always tastes better the next day.
Cannot wait to go to Books to Cooks again and tip my credit card and hand luggage over the edge!! Will keep you up to date on my purchases.
