During our trip to Vancouver, Alan and I were walking around the Gastown area looking to eat at Guu. Guu wasn’t open for lunch so we picked a random restaurant to try out. We chose Water St. Cafe because it was bustling and had sidewalk seating great for people watching. The service that day was a little frazzled but very friendly. The food, though not amazing, was very good.
Oysters saut̩ed with smoked chipotle peppers, cream, sun-dried tomatoes and Parmesan gratin̩e Р$12 CAD
I think I could go with less of a dousing of the sauce but these oysters were very tasty.
The special: Salmon with Saffron Butter Sauce – $17 CAD
I had a hankering for some buttery pasta and this totally satisfied me. The pieces of salmon were moist and tender and the saffron gave the butter sauce a unique spicy and slightly bitter taste. I loved it.
Duck confit with a balsamic and pineapple chutney glaze on garlic mashed potatoes – $22 CAD
I was happy to see Alan order the Duck Confit, one of my favorite dishes. The duck was hearty and fatty and the garlic mashed potatoes were simple and complemented well.
All in all, a delicious lunch! See other Vancouver eats here.
