I visited the Hamilton Street Grill in Yaletown (1009 Hamilton Street, Vancouver, BC, phone 604-331-1511) and I enjoyed their salmon special (pictured below, $16), which was delicious. More photos: view Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, and Part 4.

Another visit to the Hamilton Street Grill in Yaletown (1009 Hamilton Street, Vancouver, phone 604-331-1511) and I enjoyed their daily pasta special which was a macaroni with prosciutto, leeks, shallots, and lots of cheese (pictured below, $14). More photos: view Part 1, Part 2, and Part 3.

Moxie’s Classic Grill (web site, address: 180 West Georgia Street, Vancouver, BC, phone 604-684-8434) is a contemporary chain restaurant that serves Canadian style food. Moxie’s has a large and varied menu, ranging from affordable entrees such as burgers, sandwiches, and rice bowls, to more upscale and expensive choices such as the “Land Sea Grill” – a plate that includes a 4 oz steak, a skewer of prawns, and a fillet of salmon, as well as your choice of mashed potatoes, stuffed baked potato, or fries, and a seasonal vegetable, all for $22.99 (pictured below). In my experience, Moxie’s has served our large office groups quite well in the past, but during the busy lunch rush, it is best to make a reservation if you have a large group.
