One thing I’ve enjoyed doing for a few years now is catching up with girlfriends over high tea. To be entirely honest, though, it’s always kind of been more about the experience than the food for me. The conversation and atmosphere is what I’ve always enjoyed, and I’d grown accustomed to just picking and choosing what I wanted to eat (whoever I went with would always end up eating far more than their share!). I had the opportunity to try Soirette’s spring/summer menu with Erin this past weekend, and I have to say that this time, things were different. I was amazed by the quality and attention to detail in the entire menu. With everything made in house from scratch, the whole experience was such a wonderful treat for all the senses. It was truly a perfect indulgence that made the long weekend extra special!

One of my favourite ways to spend an afternoon is to work, read, or catch up with a friend at a coffee shop. When it comes to the downtown core in Vancouver, Giovane Cafe the perfect spot for all three of those things (and more – they’ve also got Italian food, magazines, and lots of candy!). Located in The Fairmont Pacific Rim, it’s an optimal spot for people watching and is also definitely an indulgent treat to eat there. And speaking of indulgent treats, their sugar buns are a must try – just make sure you leave our diet at the door.
