W 33rd Avenue, at Cambie Street, Vancouver (Queen Elizabeth Park)
Part of the Sequoia Group of Restaurants, Seasons in the Park is located in beautiful Queen Elizabeth Park overlooking Vancouver. Surrounded by beautiful trees and flowers, the fare at Seasons is a tour of the great food and drink offerings from the West Coast. We went as a family to spend time together, and though the dinner was a splurge everything was incredibly delicious and just amazing. We started with steamed mussels and dungeness crab cakes. The mussels were incredibly fresh and the white wine was a great addition to the dish. The crab cake was a little underwhelming due to it's size but all in all was very tasty. For my entree, I had the 10 oz Fraser Valley Pork Chop that was served with a mango and green apple chutney, steamed vegetables and macaroni and cheese. The pork chop was delicious and the chutney went wonderfully with the pork chop. I was disappointed in the macaroni and cheese side dish though, because it was kind of bland! But the pork chop was undoubtedly the highlight, as it should be! Along with this entree I had a glass of Riesling wine, which was great! For dessert I had a warm carrot cake with rum raisin gelato and cinnamon sauce. Carrot cake is my favourite dessert and I have to say that this was delicious! Seasons is not a place that I will go back to any time soon, due to the fact that it's really out of my price point for a dinner, but it was great to spend time with my family and enjoy a good meal.

122 West Hastings Street, Vancouver (Gastown) I finally made it to Catch 122 Bistro's brunch!! One of the few places offering brunch throughout the week in the city, Catch 122 did not disappoint. With a rustic charm to its decor, it felt like walking home and having amazing food. I was able to reunite with two long time friends (and fellow foodies) for a girls day out brunch. Pushing my legality I indulged in a mango mimosa and paired that with the Catch 122 - scrambled eggs, house-smoked salmon with dill creme-fraiche in a croissant alongside an arugala salad and Yukon potato nuggets. All of the brunch items are $12 and sound so good - it was a difficult choice to make, but it smelled so good in there that it's probably safe to say that anything you order is great! If you're craving brunch during the week, check out Catch 122 - it's less crowded! All the same, definitely make a reservation through opentable.com to ensure that you have a seat for your weekend brunch!
1583 Coal Harbour Quay, Vancouver
A lovely night out with my dad and sisters called for a fancy dinner on Coal Harbour. Thanks to my dad's collection of gift cards from travelling, we went for a seafood feast at Cardero's. Their tagline is "chops and a wok", and their dishes range from fresh seafood, exquisite meat cuts and their signature wok fried rice. From start to finish the dinner was delicious and felt incredibly expensive, beginning with raw oysters and finishing with creme brulee. The seafood was cooked well and the portions, while incredibly pricey, were the perfect portion: not too big and not just a few pieces of fish on a plate. Being an incredibly busy place, it is definitely recommended that you make reservations ahead of time. The meal will definitely put just a slight dent in your wallet, so be prepared for that. Overall, the presentation was beautiful and the food was delicious, and the service was prompt and friendly.
