This year Fannypack and I did birthday dinner a little different. We didn’t tell each other where we’re taking them so it was fun to see what we came up with. It was also hard though since…we’ve both been to so many restaurants that it might be a repeat!
L and I finished shopping in South Granville. Before spending the afternoon at Granville Island, I suggested we have lunch at one of my old haunts – Café Salade De Fruits. I’ve been dining here since it first opened, back in the early 2000s. For this post, let’s listen to Les Champs Elysees by Chantal Chamberland.
Wonderfully authentic French experience with the French speaking waiters and even customers. The food is absolutely delicious, and if you think you will order from the menu, give your waiter a chance to tell you all the specials and I’m sure you will change your mind. The atmosphere is cozy and conducive to conversation without having to battle against loud obnoxious music. Here, it’s a place to be at ease with a good friend. The sitting area is quite tight so there isn’t as much privacy, but it’s like you are in a European Cafe—community-friendly. Pricey for sure, as you would expect for great French cuisine. Would go here all the time if I could afford it. But I’ll save it for special occasions.
