I like omakase sushi as much as the next guy but does anyone else think it's kinda ridiculous that a third of Vancouver's Michelin starred restaurants are Omakase? Guess it tracks, every restaurant space is so expensive and tiny here you can probably only afford the top notch ingredients if you serve it in a closet and have no servers.
Would it kill someone to open a classic French dining experience worth of a star in Van? Probably, financially. St. Lawrence doesn't count, that's Quebecois bistro.
Anyways, tried a couple good places recently:
Handson Steak and Frites on Denman- no nonsense, no frills, small menu. Perfectly cooked steak at reasonable prices. Located in the former Madang Goul space, I heard it's their kids running the show now.
Zapoteca on 4th and Alma - been sleeping on this place for a while. Servers authentic Oaxacan cuisine. Not your typical Tex-mex garbage but real Mexican food. Try the stone bowl sets there's enough for 2 meals there.
