Where I Go Out

"I love heading to Whistler for a day trip, and the tasting menu by chef Melissa Craig is a must-have."
Rack & loin of Salt Spring Island lamb

"This lamb dish is so tender and delicious. It's great island fare by chef Marcel. This dish is usually available on their summer menu so call ahead to see if it's available."
Pizzetta margherita
$$, Italian, Central
"Lupo serves casual Italian fare. Get a pizzetta as an appetizer, my favourite being the margherita. It's a must-order, simple but classic."
Dips w/ pita
$$$, Greek,
"Pasparos Taverna has a variety of Greek dips that you can share with your family and friends. I like them all!"
At My Venues
Wild and sustainable in-house smoked fish terrine, caviar, horseradish chantilly
$$$$, Italian, Mediterranean, Downtown
"Wild and sustainable in house smoked fish terrine, caviar, horseradish chantilly! Chef's table at Cioppinos last night!"
Fraser Valley duck 2 ways
$$$$, Italian, Mediterranean, Downtown
"Everything at this luxe establishment is expertly prepared, but I love the duck. Chef Pino dry-ages, air-dries, marinates, spit-roasts, sous vides, and caramelizes the skin of the duck breast for magically tender and perfectly pink results. The legs are confited and pressed into a terrine. It's fantastic technique made to look effortless."
Pappardelle
$$$$, Italian, Mediterranean, Downtown
"I love the pappardelle with four-hour veal cheeks from Cioppino's. Chef Pino makes a really good, modern version of this classic."
Pappardelle
$$$$, Italian, Mediterranean, Downtown
"I love the pappardelle with veal cheeks and fresh porcini mushrooms. The simplicity of this dish is that the pasta is handmade and the mushrooms are hand-picked to give it its delicious aromas and flavours."

"It's really hard to pick just one dish from chef Pino's repertoire. It's all delicious. Cioppino's has a beautiful grand room, excellent service, and consistent quality, ingredient-driven creations."
