TABLE HOPPING

IPES! BACK to school

time already, duces.

Parental celebrations
are in order. A full plate of
local dining news is hereby
presented for digestion along
with that bottle of Mumm’s.
The regular four-course
review will appear in the
next Table Hopping episode.

Brummy’s Fish and Chips, 770-
333 Brooksbank Ave., North
Vancouver, 980-2216.

From the fish-fry folks who
brought you the King’s Fare Fish
and Chip salon in West
Vancouver comes Brummy’s at
the Park and Tilford Shopping
Centre.

King’s Fare, which produced
excellent fish and chips during its
two and a half year run on
Bellevue Avenue in West
Vancouver, bailed out of that
location late last year to make
way for the upscale Granite Cafe.

And while the Granite, as of
this writing, has yet to open,
Brummy’s owner Martin
Fieldhouse opened his new fish
and chippery earlier this month.

In addition to the restaurant's
selection of fish and chip dishes
($8 to $12 for basic cod and
chips through halibut, scallops,
prawns and oysters with chips),
brummy’s offers appetizers ($3 to
$8 for such items as kalamari,
clam strips and chicken fingers
and Caesar salad with plum
sauce), meat pies ($6.95) and
special children’s and seniors’
menus ($5 to $6.75).

Brummy’s is licensed to sell
beer and wine and is a non-
smoking restaurant.

It is open every day for lunch
and dinner.

Hilda’s Galley, Village Square,
1425 Marine Dr., West
Vancouver, 926-8664.

Another North Shore fish and
chip emporium. This one in mid-
town West Vancouver, Hilda's
has yet to be sampled by Table
Hopping staff, but its menu fea-
tures fish and chips (Cod,
Snapper or Halibut) in portions
ranging from one piece of fish
($2.55 and $3.30) through to a
10-pack, 10 piece family steamer
trunk that includes 10 pieces of
fish and four orders of chips
($28.40 and $35.40).

Bistro Piccolo, 770 Marine Dr.,
West Vancouver, 926-0833.

The harmonious Piccolo
played its final culinary tune last
Saturday (Aug. 27. en the North
Shore. ; ;

. Atter LQ years of turning out
fine mid-European dishes in the
Piccolo's south Park Royal toca-
tion and under increasing pres-
sure from Park Royal Shopping
Centre ownership to vacate the
Piccolo’s 770 Marine Drive
building to make way for Park
Royal progress, Hans Kaltenbach
is heading west to greener restau-
rant pastures in Vancouver
Island’s Qualicum Beach area,
The North Shaore’s loss will be

iccolo’s final tune

Qualicum’s gain. Kaltenbach wii!
take with him his Zdiricher
Geschnetzeltes, his Weisswursts,
his incomparable steak Tartare,
his superb sour cream cake and
the rest of his Piccolo kitchen
repertoire.

He will! take possession of the
Qualicum Carvery in mid-
September and hopes to re-open
the 55-seat beachfront restaurant
in October 23 The Beach House
Cafe and fill it with flavors more
West Coast than European.

Kaltenbach leaves his Park
Royal digs with few regrets, little
love having been lost between
the shy chef and Park Royal. But
Kaltenbach remains eternally
grateful for the ioyal support of
his North Shore customers over
