Another visit to Zachary’s on Robson (121 Robson St., phone 604.605.1472), and I enjoyed the Beef Stroganoff (around $12, pictured below), as well as the Calamari (deep fried squid) which was served with tatziki sauce (pictured below, around $7.00). More photos: Part 1, Part 2

Zachary’s is located a stone’s throw away from BC Place Stadium in the Hampton Inn and Suites Hotel. It’s also very close to Queen Elizabeth Theatre and GM Place Stadium.

I ordered the Chicken Gai Yang ($14.99, pictured below) which their website describes as, “Fresh pineapple, red pepper, green onions, mushrooms and bean sprouts simmered with coconut milk, lemon grass and lime juice over Jasmine rice. Topped with fresh grilled chicken breast marinated in lemon grass, curry paste, ginger and cilantro and garnished with house-made peanut sauce, a traditional Thai cucumber relish and cilantro.” It was nicely presented, and had some tasty combinations of flavors.
