G A S T O W N !

There are many sweet spots around Vancouver, but I LOOOOOOVE GASTOWN. I can spend hours during the day there and I can spend hours + good times during the night, too !! It houses my favorite restaurant in Vancouver, Guu Otokomae, and many more delish eats.

This post is a glimpse into a few of those exceptional places to grab a bite. I toured with le fam jam, since my little sister was out of town for a swim meet.. Perfect time to go out and play to make her jealous ! Hehe.

Judas Goat Taverna.

Owned by the Sean Heather who owns The Irish Heather & Salt Tasting Room, it is located in his "posh" Gastown back alley. Judas Goat is a small place and is designed for you to just sit, sip, and chat. Small place for small things; nothing grand nor wild. In fact, it's probably not the best time of year to go over these days.. wait until the sun comes out !! During the summer, they have a nice patio and the windows really let the light into the place. The winter, it just seems like a cave.. Somewhat. Plus it's sort of disgusting to walk into a wet alley.. don't cha think !?




We had just a beer and a meatball slide. Well, considering that we were already STUFFED from dinner at home... This was already a brave move. Oh and the last pic is a GPOY pic, LOOOOLLLLLL !!

Located around half a block away from Judas Goat, we ventured into this fairly new place called, Peckinpah. It's a BBQ house. If you are a meat lover and haven't been here yet... WHAT ARE YOU DOING !? We grabbed another beer, an IPA despite the fact that their bourbon selection is ASTRONOMICAL !!!

The great thing about this place was its friendly friendly price. The menu just shone out saying pick me pick me come back come back !! It was a nice size and even sitting at the bar was comfortable. The service was quick and friendly as usual with all Gastown restaurants. The best was their side salad... I forget what it was... and too bad that I was too busy feasting and getting fat than taking pictures of it. But basically it had all these great greens that I love like kale and swiss char (spelling !?). Sooooooo yums. Everything was good and it must've been super good if it tasted so fantastic to already full people.
