Sweet Dream's Review: Burgoo, Vancouver

A good friend has stated numerous times that this particular establishment is delicious. On a hungry Sunday evening we decided to venture into Burgoo. Knowing it is a busy place, we called to make reservations. Interestingly, if reservations are made day of the meal, you must call in the morning, they do not take reservations after. No worries, so we asked how long the wait would be. Approx 20 minutes around 8pm.


So we arrived at 8. Busy with lineup. The waitress said it would be approximately 30-40 minute wait. I was a bit shocked because she said 20 minutes when we called at 7:40 but i don't blame her. It's hard to estimate with so many walk ins.


A great feature they had was the heated patio. Not only was there heat for the diners, but there is also a few seats (5 to be exact) in front of the door which are also heated. Very considerate in my opinion. The wait really was what she had stated earlier. About 30 minutes.


The crowd died down and the 2 of us sat at a booth which was really for about 5-6 people. I'm very picky about seating (I like isolated areas, also roomy seating) so I was feeling pretty good about the experience so far.

Review: Afternoon Tea at Empress Hotel, Victoria BC

Seemingly one of the most famous afternoon tea locations is at Empress Hotel in Victoria. I was there with a few girlfriends for a couple days and interesting enough, no bakery around downtown Victoria that serves afternoon open on Sunday and Monday. Would Sunday not be the most busiest day of the week? 


While Fairmont may be famous for its afternoon tea i'm sure they're also famous for charging extravagant prices. At $59.99, I only went because their competition was closed for the day. 

We ordered 4 sets of afternoon tea, although it looks small in portions we were very much full at the end. 

Review: Truffles Cafe in VanDusen, Vancouver

I've been to many dessert places in Vancouver and in the Lower Mainland but have never even thought of writing a review regardless of all the comments in my mind I'd like to share about the products! Even today, only while I was there did I even realize I should've brought my dslr! Unfortunately for my first review, I don't have any pictures of the atmosphere, so please bear with me! I did take many pictures of the food.

One of my girlfriends had asked me to head down to VanDusen for afternoon tea. She is a great food adventurer and always invites me to try different places. She had heard of this cafe that serves tea for only $28 dollars for 2. This was great news to us. We've never heard of such a great deal in Vancouver.
