After a visit to Cardero's (and a bottle of Beringer Chardonnay), we tried a new restaurant last night, a little pricey but very good. Check out Voya Restaurant http://www.voyarestaurant.com/ in the Loden Hotel on Melville in downtown Vancouver. The room is gorgeous, high ceilings, tasteful art, marble bar, crystal chandeliers -- beautiful.
While waiting for our table I tried a glass of the Poplar Grove Pinot Gris, very good and not a winery I have tried before. They are located on the Naramata Bench so I'll make a point of dropping by in next summer's Okanagan wine tour.
Once seated, the boys and I enjoyed some of the shared dishes for the table, impressive presentation, wonderful taste and washed down with a bottle of Joie Chardonnay. Yum!
Overall I give Voya a big thumbs up. The room is gorgeous, the food is tasty, the wine list is well thought out (good local options), and the service was excellent (shout out to Greg). Highly recommended if you don't mind parting with a significant amount of moolah.
Once I clear the cobwebs of all that good wine, the Boy and I have a busy weekend -- in between voting in the civic election, watching the Stamps and Lions (go team!) and the Canucks and Maple Leafs (go Canucks!). And that's just Saturday. Sunday will be another day of culinary delights, coming soon to a blog near you.
