DB Moderne Bistro and Latitude – Now Live – YUM

It is great that we have just had 2 new restaurants go live in the last week: the famous DB Moderne Bistro and the equally enticing Latitude.

Latitude

The former owners of Tofino’s critically acclaimed RainCoast Cafe bring their new offering to Vancouver’s Main Street with a menu inspired by the wine regions of North and South America. Located on a hip stretch of Main Street, this friendly restaurant serves fantastic food and great wines.

DB Moderne Bistro

I was fortunate enough to be taken to DB Moderne Bistro after skiing on Sunday and I was the first person to use the Letsgofordinner card there.  I had great expectations about the meal, the service, ambiance and interior – it is not a let down.  Lets start in reverse order – the interior – not opulent but restrained, sleek wood everywhere and none of the noisy sounds  associated with other contemprary locations where the sounds bounces around like kangaroos on acid.   The ambiance is set off well by the decor and complimented by the staff who are friendly, clear spoken and knowledgeable.

The meal lets put it across clearly it is not as expensive as you think $25 -30 Mains $10 – 12 for starters and deserts.    I was suppose to go to Bray where a school mate lives and visit the Fat Duck as we had heard so much about Heston’s scientific and precise cooking.  Now I could not see the benefit of such things until I ate at DB.   I choose 2 of the toughest things to cook well:  lobster and souffle and they were perfectly cooked.  The Lobster had a perfect texture and the souffle rich and light.  I will not go on as there are sites dedicated to reviews but you should all treat yourself to some of this food.

Oh forgot to mention the wine list the White Burgundy – Saint Verain yum and the La Frenz Cab Sav – big fruit and the cherry flavour was stunning
