‘Ono Poke Co. | 10142-104 St.
A popular dish in Hawaii, the delicious poke—or raw fish salad—at ‘Ono Poke Co. is sure to please you with a myriad of fresh flavours. Each feature poke was created by Chef Lawrence Hui based on influences he picked up while touring Maui and learning from its chefs. Uncle Tom’s Surf Poke was named after one of those chefs, a combo of ahi tuna with fresh onion, cucumber, and sea asparagus with a spicy tobiko aioli. You can even take home bottles of their addictive Hawaiian Chili Water and bags of fresh baked Taro Chips!
Café Linnea | 10923-119 St.
One of the city’s favourite spots for brunch and high tea has now opened its doors for dinner! In a minimalist, open dining room with natural light and plant-lined shelves, Café Linnea serves French and Scandinavian cuisine with a local twist. Their ever-changing menu uses high-quality ingredients that they source from local farmers whenever possible. While it’s in season, try their Roasted Asparagus and Fried Duck Egg, which is served with a gruyere tuile, fava bean pesto, chervil, and chive blossoms. Or indulge in the Pork Croquette, served with a French gribiche sauce and chopped hard-cooked egg.
