Caché Bistro & Lounge on Urbanspoon

pan seared scallopsI have dined twice at Caché in the past couple of months month and both times enjoyed both the excellent food and the good service.

On my first visit before going to se a play, we tried the special menu - choice of appetizer, main course and then dessert.

PHAT on Urbanspoon

After our visit to Siegel's Bagels for a smoked meat bagel prior to seeing Barney's Version, a reader suggested I try the hot Montreal smoked meat sandwich at PHAT on Mainland Street in Yaletown. So on my way home I decided to stop in and get  one.

Rather than the Reuben, served with sauerkraut and melted Swiss cheese on toasted rye, I decided to try the straight smoked meat sandwich served on marble rye. They offer a Skinny version  and a PHAT version but I opted for the skinny. It was still a  good helping of meat, served with a Kosher Dill Pickle.

I could hardly wait till I got home and took the first bite.

wineflight12This is the second time I have eaten at r.tl but as the previous occasion was a spontaneous visit I did not have my camera with me, and I felt the attractive presentation of the dishes warranted visual rather than verbal images. My first visit was a few weeks ago: while walking back from the theatre. My friend and I wanted to continue our discussion of the performance over a light meal, and on the spur of the moment, dropped into r.tl. It was a little late in the evening for eating, by my standards anyway; from years of arriving home from work famished I am usually ready for dinner before 6 pm! But we were warmly welcomed by Alain Canuel, operations director and Sommelier, who explained the concept behind the menu. I enjoyed the couple of dishes we had so much that I vowed to return with my camera, and learn more about the regional tasting concept.
