Salade De Fruits




Country: 
       Vancouver, Canada
Rating: 
      8.5/10
Yummy Foods:
       Canard (Duck with a crispy biscuit)
       Moules (Mussels in a garlic, white wine cream sauce)
       Chicken Tortellini
       Lamb (Slowly cooked for 13 hours)
       Chocolate Cake (Bitter dark chocolate cake)
       Baked Alaska (Ice cream surrounded by a meringue)
Bad Food:
      Putine (Not bad, but you should definitely be eating other foods at this restaurant)
Descriptions:
       Salade de fruits is my favourite restaurant in Vancouver so far. We ordered about half the menu and there was nothing that I wouldn't eat again. The atmosphere reminds me of a new york cafe I went to with my cousins. The place is small but lively with everyone enjoying their meals. The price is really good for the quality and quantity of the food. I wouldn't say I was full at the end of the meal, but I would definitely say I was more than satisfied. I think the real magic of the place is not its food, but its little touch of paris. The menu is all in french and the waiters are all french as well (They even have that comforting touch of arrogance, although the waiters were actually all extremely nice). As a signing off, Salade de Fruits, Je voudrais aller encore.

Mr. Chow

Country:
Beverly Hills, United States

Rating:
8/10

Yummy Foods:
The Peking Duck. Forget the cost and get it.
Steamed dumplings.

Bad Food:
While any entree other than the duck will taste good, you are to get the duck. All appetizers though should be fine, depending what they have each night

Descriptions:
You will see a star, someone you recognize from television, movies, sports, something, you will see one. You may not even know who, just say "hey, I think I recognize him/her", but it is fundamentally impossible to go there without seeing someone famous.

You might have trouble getting seated, there are a lot of people lined up, and the food takes a while to get.

I personally don't even know if they have menus, if they do they're certainly not constant, mostly you get whatever they want to give you, but make sure that you have the Peking duck. It's wonderfully well done, and difficult to get Peking duck at a restaurant simply because of the time required to set up the dish.

This is also one of the most expensive restaurants you can eat in. The food, while most certainly good, is rarely worth the price tag, this is a restaurant you go to if you're in LA and want to do the traditional Beverly Hills thing. Don't get me wrong, if you're coming to LA this is something you might want to experience, just don't cry when you see the bill.
