    One of a few consistently good, old style Italian restaurants in west Vancouver. It's not hip and the entree menu doesn't change very often but neither of those are necessarily a bad thing. There are daily special features which give the adventurous diner something to try out. The appetizer selection has changed in the last few years, some favourites have been reimagined but the margarita pizza is perfect for sharing before the main course. Veal piccata, risotto with fungi and spaghetti bolognese are all solid choices. Key lime pie is very good. They are alway friendly and accommodating and service is consistently good. This isn't checkered tablecloths and candles in old wine bottles. It's an upscale setting with traditional Italian food. Give it a try!

    Definitely a spot for an older audience. There were very few young people. It was also super full from reservations and only let in around 3 walk-in groups right when the doors opened at 5:30. The service was good and the food tasted great. The pasta dish was a little more oily than I would like but otherwise delicious.

    Do not order their "Margherita" pizza. This is a local fave of ours and we are always pleased with the delicious antipasto platter, pasta and pizza. Tonight we decided to try their Margherita pizza. Wow, total disappointment. Besides the pizza being cold, there was barely any sauce, the cheese was dry... and there was no fresh basil. No. Fresh. Herbs... period. Rest of our table seemed to enjoy the rest of the food. But I don't think I'll ever get over the cold, crusty pizza. Blech.

The tea was delicious and the baklava was nice and soft. Although small and limited seating, it was a very unique place as it is filled with Turkish and middle eastern cultural pieces.

I've got so disappointed about this…read moreshop.First I tried one of its products somewhere which was my favourite and I bought it on October for almost $7.5 i loved it.again on January I bought it $9.5!!!!!! And two weeks after i went to buy it again it was for $16.5!!!!!!!! It is a fruit purée that they import from Iran and just pack it in their own bags with their logos.I didn't buy it and told the seller that it is not fair, just in two weeks you almost doubled the price!!!! She was just an employee so she didn't know what to say and said it is because of the sanctions Iran is facing now,but It is not true.The sanction is affecting the goods's price in Iran because of the DOLLAR value which is stable for us. Anyway I bought the same brand from another Persian super market(same amount) $5.5. I will not recommend this shop and i will not buy anything from them anymore. I am truly sad that the people who were disappointed about the unfairness in Iran is doing the same here. Hope they can reflect on their way.

    I'm just going to give you some facts. What you do with it…read moreis up to you..... The truth is many Persian Groceries don't really pay attention to expiration dates and product freshness. They just don't. I have lived in Vancouver 30+ years and have probably gone through a dozen different Iranian markets. This is between North Vancouver, West Vancouver and Downtown Vancouver, Coquitlam and Port Moody. I live Downtown and every time I will make the trip to Mitra's Market to pick up what I'm looking for. With that said, Persian Sangak Bread happens to be my favourite type of bread....of all breads. This cute little grocery store is the one I count on for freshness. You'd be surprised how many other Middle Eastern Markets have expired products that smell and taste....well....old and nasty. I mean especially if it's as easy as just checking the label before placing it on the shelf. Yup. No, some just can't be bothered. The truth is.... The owner at Mitra's pays attention to detail, is committed to quality and upholds product expiration standards and dates, and I've experienced this for many years. So what do you get? You get superior products to the competition. I'm extremely picky when it comes to quality of any kind. This is the only place I consider when looking for Middle Eastern/Mediterranean foods.

    Fantastic store. From the freezer items to the fresh foods ie hummus chicken pork all is excellent!…read more I come from the west end once a week to shop here.

We got a LOT of stuff there, including crackers, pate, cheeses, jams, and a bunch of other items, all of which sort of flatlined. Now, in McLean's defense, the pate and cheeses were the only things they brought in specifically under their name. And the place was EXTREMELY cute, and they served sandwiches, and the owner was friendly and on premesis, and they'd let you bring wine if you wanted... ...but really, everything flatlined. The fig crackers tasted like prunes. The sheep's brie was overly strong in flavor, almost off-tasting. The porter cheddar tasted like...plain cheddar. The pate was bland. One standout was a cheese (I forget the name) which had a line of gorgonzola down the centre. Really, of everything we bought, this is the only thing I'd consider re-purchasing. Now I don't want to rule this place out based on one trip, but it *was* expensive (some of the crackers and jams were way over-priced) and I *was* disappointed, considering how it's touted around town as being wonderful. I like to support local businesses, so I will be back to purchase a significantly smaller portion of cheese. Till then...

    Grandma started reminiscing about us having Galette des Rois when we were in Europe many years ago;…read moreso even though we'd already had our Galette des Rois for this year from To Live For Bakery, for my dear mommy's sake I decided to order another Galette des Rois that we could have with her at her house. This time I ordered a traditional version that comes with a crown and a small ceramic piece (known as a fève) hidden inside the pastry. I ordered this one from Le Pont Patisserie. This shop is known more for their eclairs but they carry a good number of other beautiful and tempting pastries. There was a choice of 5, 6, or 7 inches for the Galette des Rois at Le Pont Patisserie. I ordered the 6 inch for $35 and it was just right for us as we were a small group of people. Wow! Such flakiness! Super impressed with how flaky this Galette des Rois was, and the frangipane filling was heavenly. While it was an excellent Galette des Rois, I do have to admit that I think it is very much overpriced for the size that they offer. Grandma found the fève and was crowned Queen that night!
