Cloud 9 on Robson brings back good memories with great food

While I was born and raised in Vancouver, my parents were European immigrants.  A regular summertime ritual during my childhood were long drives out to the airport to pick up what seemed to be a never-ending stream of relatives from the Olde Countries.  These visitors always seemed to bring a good stack of recent issues of The Beano that my brother and I would pore over with great interest.

When really special visitors would come, my parents would suggest to them that they take in the views of the city from Cloud 9, the revolving restaurant high above the corner of Robson and Broughton.  It and the hotel beneath were new and chic.  One would read in the newspaper about how local notables and imported U.S. starlets were seen perched in the restaurant, struggling to enjoy the amazing view while presenting their best face forward for the cameras.  Their brunch was particularly well-known and well-publicized, with CKNW broadcasting regularly from there.

I was therefore really pleased when the Cloud 9 became the latest addition to our growing stable of fine restaurants.
