Last call for Vancouver's iconic West Restaurant + Bar, which closes at the end of December. To mark the end of an era, we are hosting an intimate Truffle Tribute dinner (BC wild, cultivated burgundies and white Alba). Tickets still available. DM or email to reserve: [email protected] Toptable Group

From the outside, the dinners at @gaolersmews look like a super luxurious, ultra exclusive experience and they are: multi-course menus showered in truffles and dripping with foie gras prepared by chef-owner Lee Cooper and a special guest chef, all prepared in a private kitchen for eight lucky guests who bid for seats by auction. But behind the scenes, the series is as generous from the heart as it is on the plate. per cent of the proceeds are donated to the @bchospitality... foundation, which raises funds to support hospitality workers facing financial crisis due to health issues. Each year, the Foundation disperses approximately $70,000. This year, the No. 1 Gaoler’s Mews dining series raised $17,000 for this important cause. At @dinelikeacritic, we are proud to partner with its flagship restaurant @labattoir_van for our Gastown tours and will also be donating partial proceeds from every ticket sold to the BC Hospitality Foundation. @ Gaoler's Mews See more

Hate the idea of a touristy group tour? Cringe at the thought of being herded around like goats? Same here! I’d rather eat cold Kraft slices on stale Wonder Bread. Yech. That’s not how Dine Like A Critic works. Think of it more as an intimate dinner party guided by an expert. You will eat and drink the very best Vancouver has to offer. There will be many exclusive surprises. I’ll provide history, context, tips and all the inside stories. We will laugh, feast and have an amazi...ng night. Private groups and customized itineraries very much welcome and available at various price points. Message me to inquire about one-of-a-kind gifts and holiday celebrations. . . #dinelikeacritic #vancouverfoodie #vancouvereats #vancouver #vancity #yvr #yvrfood ##vancouverrestaurants #christmasinvancouver #christmasinvancity #vancouverevents #explorevancouver #yvrevents #curiosityvancouver #luxuryfoodgifts See more

Agreed! We loved @sethrogen’s culinary love letter to Vancouver on @davidchang’s new @netflix show #BreakfastLunch&Dinner. Laughed. So. Hard. We can’t offer the same experience, but if you’re thinking of booking a tour with @dinelikeacritic, consider the pros and cons: CONs - No David Chang... - No Seth Rogen - No weed PROs - We have much nicer wheels - We know a fuck ton more Asian restaurants in Richmond - We won’t make you eat chicken feet... unless you request it. Heck, we’ll even throw in a jelly doughnut. Or maybe a salted egg yolk croissant. But no weed. Sorry. #dinelikeacritc #vancouver #vancouverfoodtour #culinarytours #vancouverfoodie #vancouvereats #explorerichmondbc #visitrichmondbc #richmondfood #richmondfoodie #davidchang #sethrogen #breakfastlunchanddinner #netflix #momofuku See more
