During the week I had some japanese food fiend friends visiting from out of town so naturally we had to hit up a sushi place. I picked Okada Sushi after reading some favourable reviews and checking out the menu which sported tempura shiitake rolls. Those basically had me sold. I ended up ordering them and some asparagus and avocado rolls which were also pretty good. My friends loved whatever it was they ordered (some tuna sashimi? amongst a lot of other things) and everyone was happy.

I’d love to go back there on a warm sunny evening and see if they have their patio set up. Being up on the second floor, it kind of has a secret corner feel to it which is fun.

I had a chance to check out Cassis Bistro here in downtown Vancouver recently and it was pretty tasty. They whipped up a vegetarian pizza for us as an appetizer that wasn’t on the menu because I really wanted to try Raclette cheese on a pizza (they had it on another one but it had prosciutto on it). I love it when restaurants are totally open to being accommodating to vegetarians and whip up something delicious and tasty on the spot.

Then as my ‘main’ I had the baked brie and papaya chutney crepe. Sooooo yummy! Cassis is really great little spot to have lunch, especially on a sunny day like today where you can enjoy the cute little patio in the back.

I’ve walked passed it a billion times and always thought to myself what a great name it had, but it wasn’t until I did a search on urbanspoon for nearby restaurants that it popped up and I resolved to check it out. And I’m glad I did! Btw that nearby search thing is so useful.
