Kirkland, WA: Oriel Cafe - "Try the Aussie Heart Starter for breakfast"

2007-07-05T13:52:10-07:00

Review of Oriel Cafe at 101 Central Way, Kirkland, WA 98033

For 4th of July, this was the perfect place to check out the Kirkland parade. Parking in downtown Kirkland is usually terrible, but since we were walking because of the parade, this was an excellent vantage point right by the stage.Outdoor seating is a little cramped, since you’re...

Seattle, WA: Cafe Campagne - "Fantastic brunch place."

2007-07-03T17:26:47-07:00

Review of Cafe Campagne at 1600 Post Aly, Seattle, WA 98101

by karen:

I came here after my haircut, looking like little orphan Annie, and fell in serious lust with this place. It’s a little slice of France tucked away in Post Alley near Pike Place Market. Seating is limited though, so unless you don’t mind eating at the bar, come here after lunch (bu...

Redmond, WA: Typhoon! - "Eastside curry royalty"

2007-07-03T17:11:58-07:00

Review of Typhoon! at 8936 161st Ave Ne, Redmond, WA 98052

by karen:

Typhoon knows their curries — I’ve tried some of their other dishes and gave them kind of “meh” ratings but their curries are heads and shoulders above any other Thai places I’ve been to. The boyfriend’s personal favourite in terms of curry is Cafe Ori’...

Vancouver, BC: Hon's - "Choose carefully (blandness alert!)"

Review of Hon's at Robson St, Vancouver, BC V6B

by karen:

The first time I went to Hon’s was with my roommate in Germany and we got the salted fish and chicken fried rice, the gyoza and some chicken (which I’ve forgotten but it was flavourful).The last time I went was with family and we chose a family meal — we had gyoza, won...

by karen:

My follow-up review for this restaurant. Read my previous review for this restaurant hereThe Nutella/banana crepe was quite possibly the best part of the meal! I can’t believe I didn’t review it.

Review of Cafe Darclee at 100 4th Ave N, Seattle, WA 98109

Cafe D’arclee is my favourite creperie in Seattle. My boyfriend introduced this place to me last summer and we’ve been semi-regularly go here for weekend brunch.I personally love their savoury crepes, but who can resist a good Nutella and banana crepe for dessert? We start o...

Review of Porcella Urban Market at 10245 Main St, Bellevue, WA 98004

by karen:

I love love LOVE Porcella. I’ve been there a few times and even if it’s a quick meal before driving back to Vancouver, it still has such a romantic French bistro feel to it that I at least order wine (not when I’m driving) or dessert. Their salmon wi...

2007-03-14T19:05:47-07:00

Review of McCormick & Schmick's Seafood Restaurant at 700 Bellevue Way Ne, Bellevue, WA 98004

by karen:

I love the ambiance at McCormick and Schmick’s… dark wood. velvety curtains, soft lighting and loads of paintings of fish and local historical photos make it an ideal place to go for date night. I went to the Lincoln Square restaurant for Sunday brunch and for dinner and both time...

2007-03-11T22:02:04-07:00

Review of Union Square Grill at 621 Union St, Seattle, WA 98101

by karen:

I went here with a large group to celebrate a friend’s birthday — unfortunately, we weren’t informed beforehand by the reservations office or the concierge desk that their layout isn’t large-group friendly so we had to squish 10 people into a 6 person booth + a 2 person...
