Traveling and eating in Gastown

It's always an adventure when you explore a menu you've never tried before. The other night, we wandered down to Water Street Cafe in Gastown for dinner before going to a movie. (The restaurant is within walking distance of Tinseltown movie theatre.)

The location is fabulous. An intimate space with beautiful windows and a great patio, Water Street Cafe affords lots of opportunity for people-watching and daydreaming. The Cafe is located in the heart of Gastown, amid historic brick buildings and tree-lined streets, right across from the neighbourhood's famous steam clock. Gastown always makes me feel like a traveler in my own city.

The service at the restaurant is friendly and accommodating, a perfect match for the cozy atmosphere. The romantic lighting and jazz classics played in the background add to the restaurant's relaxed, charming personality.

I ordered the special, which was halibut served with a red pepper cream sauce, roasted vegetables and rice. Though this may sound like a commonplace dish for a West Coast restaurant, I was really impressed by the presentation and flavour of the food. The ingredients were fresh and colourful. It was a truly enjoyable meal.

I will definitely be returning to this lovely restaurant and look forward to trying their other tasty creations!
