I am now back in San Francisco, but still posting stuff from my trip to Vancouver. FYI, the exchange rate right now is about US$1 = CAN$0.8. I will be heading back to Boston on Jan. 16th.

David treated us to lunch the day after his wedding. We went to Feenie's, a "Canadian bistro" of Rob Feenie's who is a Food Network Canada celebrity. Sorry about the weird lighting of the pictures; it was weird in our spot somehow and I wasn't careful when I took them.
wild spring salmon tartare, with black & white sesame seeds, cilantro, and tamarind glaze
duck confit, with butter lettuce, radicchio, poached pears, blue cheese and a warm hazelnut & bacon vinaigrette
scallop & prawn spaghettini, tossed with fresh herbs, tomatoes, Thai chilies, and white wine
pan-roasted halibut, with soya beans, bok choy, oyster mushroom and a herbal tea infused fumet
It was pretty good. The salmon tartare was alright, but they put pieces of tomato in it which we strongly suspected as salmon replacement filler. Spaghettini was good - sauce was a bit too strong for me, but the seafood tasted great.
