tracking down some simple
digestible fare and shedding culi-
nary pretensions,

A build-up of the latter is
unavoidable in the high-caloric,
high-profile dining trade.

: Ina quest, therefore, for sim-
. pler things, we head back to the
Garden,

The diner on Capilano Road
cultivates the ground-level culi-
nary Canadiana that once spread
the length and breadth of the land:
bacon and eggs, coffee and loast,
burgers, fries and sandwiches.

No blaring television sets; no
grills with flames jumping and
chefs pirouetting; no Tex-Mex,
nouveau, fondue, Cajun; no gew-
gaws or whiz-bangs.

Just a bright and immaculate
cafe with a low-key staff and a

Just to show there's ‘no hard
feelings over the turbot-poaching,
I'm restraining myself from advo-
cating an all-out boycott of Spanish
porch-climber.

- The Marques de Murictta was
among the first prophets to look
north to France, sniff the wind and
start making the potent wines of
the Rioja into .world-class plonk.
Not cheap, but consistently the best
the Rioja has to offer: powerful,
complex, full of richly toasted fruit
and above ‘all. true to its region,
unlike so many bland “internation-
al" style wines coming out of the
EU these days. .

The Garden is affixed to the
Grouse Inn motel, whose predeces-
sor, The Ranch, was host to much
notorious Wild West activity cour-
tesy of assorted North Shore
buckaroos,

The Garden's interior is fin-
ished in a bright combination of
teal, brass, white and terra-cotta.

Its east entrance fuces onto
Capilano Road, but the Garden's
view from its north side takes ina
peck-a-boo snapshot of North
Shore mountains that is as refresh-
ing as its unadorned cafe atmos-
phere.

The 30-seater comes outfitted
with tables on its white exterior
sun deck.

For a simple breakfast or lunch,
getting back to the Garden is a
therapeutic choice.
