I called
Lumière before I even booked my plane tickets to Vancouver. Can you say that I was excited to eat at one of the city's best restaurants?
I must admit that, in the beginning, I was reluctant to eat there precisely because of the
Best Restaurant in Vancouver tag it inherited from the press, but how can you go wrong with beef carpaccio, barbequed Peking duck broth and red Kuri squash, and mascarpone ravioli? Check out the photos below to see for yourself.
The scene lives up to the hype. We opted to sit at the bar with the beautiful Canadians and chatted up a storm with the group right next to us. Our bartender/waiter gave us his full attention – and how can he not when two women entertain him all night by eating and drinking like they've been malnourished all their lives and have been suffering a drought? The service is excellent, right up to the young boy outside who made sure we got in our cab just fine.
Come to think about it, maybe that boy wasn't even working as a valet. He might not have been associated with the restaurant at all. I can't tell you because I don't even know how I ended up back in my hotel room.
