Milestones Restaurant (web site, 1109 Hamilton Street, Vancouver, BC, Canada, phone: 604-684-9111) offers contemporary Pacific Northwest cuisine in a trendy, upscale atmosphere. Pictured below is the Seafood Fettucini ($16.99), which was really yummy! More photos: Part 3, Part 2, and Part 1.

Maruchu Japanese BBQ Dining (2065 – 4580 #3 Road, Richmond, BC, Canada, phone 604-214-3770) offers an authentic Japanese version of the popular Korean BBQ style dinner, where you are given marinated meats and cook them yourself at a grill at your table. If you’ve tried Korean BBQ before you’ll find the Japanese style quite similar, but perhaps a bit less spicy. Reservations are recommended, as the restaurant is quite small and gets full on weekends. Price per person is in the $20-30 range, depending on how hungry you are!
