on October 20, 2011 in Japanese, Point Grey, Sushi

While driving along West 10th Avenue in Point Grey, we were craving a quick bite of Japanese food for dinner.

The Diner, Point Grey Review

on April 21, 2011 in Breakfast, Brunch, Cafe, Diner, European, Family, Point Grey, Seafood

The Diner is an authentic English-style diner located on West 10th, in Point Grey. The Diner is over 50 years old! As you can imagine, it feels like stepping back in time, and its quaint and kitsch decor is literally straight out of the 1960s. Even the cutlery, plates, cups, and teapots all look [...]
