❤ Dineout Vancouver 2015 ❤

Hello my sweet readers, I'm back! I accidentally disappeared for like, a month (oops!) but don't worry I'm still alive. I've been working as much as humanly possible and I'm still on the hunt for a new job so that's been really time consuming. I've got a lot of posts to catch up on so hopefully I'll get those out for you this week!
Every year, my city has a huge food event called Dineout Vancouver. It's where many restaurants get together and come up with set menus at a set price for people to try throughout the event. This gives customers a chance to try out the restaurant's food at a more affordable price (most places serve 2-3 course menus for this event).

This year I went to three different restaurants, but only two of them were worth the trip I think. The first one I went to was Merchant's Oyster Bar on Commercial Drive. I used to go there for brunch a lot but I've never tried their regular menu so I thought I'd try it during dineout.
Our oyster appetizer
My albacore tuna first course
Seared ling cod with potatoes
main course~
Needless to say everything was delicious there. I'd love to go back again! Here was my face for the day:
Next I went to the Cheshire Cheese in North Vancouver with some very good friends from elementary school, We have a tradition of doing dineout together every year, this was our 5th year! Unfortunately this one was not as good as our previous years, and I think this place was the worst out of the three places I went to for this year's dineout. The service was slow even though we had a reservation and the food was sub-par at best. At least we still had good company!
My crab dip appetizer which was
really yummy and probably the only
tasty thing I was served
besides dessert :<
My fish and chips but they were
really greasy and soggy. The fries
were gross too D:
At least dessert was nice ;n;
Here's my face for the night:
The last place I went to was Bistro Sakana in Yaletown. It was a very nice Japanese restaurant. I went with my best friends from high school and we were blown away by the food!
Our chazuke appetizer. It was
super tasty!
Our main course. 
Chilled chocolate souffle for dessert!
My face for the night:
Overall, I think this year's dineout experience was pretty good! I got to catch up with a lot of old friends and try out some very interesting new foods. I'll definitely go check out Bistro Sakana again because that place was amazing! Until next time~
