Ingredients are freshly prepared, presented tableside and cooked teppanyaki style with tremendous flair. Go for the impossibly tender Wagyu beef, teriyaki chicken, and seafood combo. For more casual fare, head to pub-style Zakkushi (page 73) on Denman to find an abundance of charcoalgrilled meat, seafood and vegetable skewers. Hunker down at local faves Gyoza King (page 72) or Guu (page 72), both on Robson, for good Japanese home-style dishes in a cheerful and friendly setting. visit tim Pawsey online at www.hiredbelly.com For the ultimate in-store sustenance, newly landed Holts Café (in Holt Renfrew, page 19) obliges with an impressive array of plates, from quick bites to mains and desserts. The smart and elegant room invites lingering over the lobster and Pacific shrimp roll, tuna seared rare on brioche with roasted red pepper relish, or Salt Spring Island mussels, perhaps with a glass of wine. Desserts are equally tempting, as is the extensive selection of teas and organic juices, plus well-chosen wines from BC and around the world.
