We weren't expecting to be celebrating June's "Date Night" with just the two of us ... but with baby girl still cozy and happy in the belly we took full advantage of the opportunity to enjoy a lovely Summer evening.
The Cannery has been serving Vancouver since 1971. The adorable couple next to us was thrilled to be seated at the exact same table where they shared their first date 24 years ago. The location is awesome, situated right on the water inside the Port of Vancouver's property. (If you'd like you can even travel by boat and dock at the private pier.)
The atmosphere inside is full of history and character. We really enjoyed the local mussels served in a cast iron skillet with house made Chorizo sausage, rosemary and stewed tomatoes (photo above). The Caesar salad with bay shrimp was also outstanding.
Darrin couldn't resist complimenting the meal with a bottle of 2005 Tori
Mor Willamette Valley Pinot Noir from Oregon. A rare find here in BC! The best part was that he was able to take half the bottle home at the end of the meal. I have a feeling this is one of the last times that will happen. It won't be long before I'll be sharing in the pleasures of the grape once again.
