Summer bits and bites

the Anchor in drops anchor again; and Table Hopp-

FH ean goes British; the Beach Club goes south;

ing staff hit the summer streets in the Table Hopping
van in search of some lighter summer dining fare.

The regular four-course review
will return in the next Table Hop-
ping episede.

FORSTER’S, 350 EAST 2ND ST.
NORTH VANCOUVER, 988-
8353

In the grand traditions of Col.
Alfred St. George Hamersley, the
fermer lord of the Emerald Park
manor, Forster’s is now serving an
afternoon tea from 2 p.m. to 4

p.m.

Trays of clotted cream, scones,
fresh berries and jams abound.

Don’t forget the Earl Grey tea
and a stiff salute for the colonel at
the door.

Ripping stuff, wot?

THE NEW ANCHOR IN, 1301
LONSDALE AVE., NORTH
VANCOUVER, 980-9508

As all paid up members are
probably well aware, the Beach
Club has closed its doors, right in
the midst of major beach time too,
dudes.

The Club opened with a flourish
of witd interior and exterior decor
provided by the Mad Artist, but
management failed to follow
through with much for the dining
customer.

But while the C/ub is out, the /n
is in.”

Jochen Voss, whose original
Anchor Inclosed its doors May 14
overlooking the Lynnwood
Marina, plans to reopen his res-
taurant in the old Beach Club
location this week.

Voss will be accompanied by his
original Anchor In staff.

He will also be accompanied by
a menu that will feature the same
substantial German-style cuisine
that established such a loyal An-
chor In following at its Lynnwood
location: Peppersteak Flambe
($11.50), Duck Schwarzwald
($10.95), Eisbein (9.50), Rinds
Rouladen ($10.75), and 11
schnitzel variations ($9.25 to
$10.75).

What Voss won't be accom-
panied by is the old Beach Club

THE BEACH SIDE CAFE, 1362
MARINE DRIVE, WEST VAN-
COUVER, 925-1945

Table Hopping’s choice for best
all-round restaurant last year has a
new dinner menu and wine list
that should pique diners’ interests.

Appetizers include Tomato,
Jalapeno and Cilantro soup
($3.50), Warm Goat Cheese Saiad
with endive and sundried tomato
vinaigrette ($5.95), Carpaccio
($6.95) and Baked Cambozola in
Hazelnut Crust with roasted garlic
and toast points ($6.50).

Entrees (price range $11 to $17):
Stir-fried prawns in Thai Curry
($14.95); Danish Back Ribs with
orange soya glaze ($12.95);
Chicken Breast marinated fin Tua-
doori spices with coconut Basmati
rice and fruit chutney ($12.95);
fillet of Beef Tenderloin, Oyster
Mushrooms and Horseradish
cream with garlic mashed potatoes
($16.95); and much more.

The new Beach Side wine list
(primarily $17 to $50) has strong
representation from the United
States; sc me interesting bottles are
also available from France, Italy,
Australia, Chile and B.C.

The R>--4 Sideis one of the

North Shore’s best restaurants; the
new menu should be worth
sampling.

MUSICAL MEALS:

Peppi’s (150-25th St. in West
Vancouver, 922-1414) is now
featuring live jazz every Thursday,
Friday and Saturday night.
DINING DISCOED:

There is dining dissatisfaction
afoot.

A recent experience at a local
Lower Lonsdale restaurant
prompted a patron to deliver a
portion of his meal to the Table
Hopping offices. And believe me
folks, it was not a pretty sight.

Evelyn and Karl Schneider report
that they took their family to the
Jagerhof restaurant for some prime
Wiener Schnitzel.

But the schnitzel they received,
they say, was not prime.

They were disappointed with
what they were served, they being
Wiener Schnitzel connoisseurs.

Mrs. Schneider reports that she
was presented with something
that ‘looked like a napkin wrap-
ped in breading.”

The waitress was called. She was
dispatched to negotiate with
Jagerhot management for a proper
schnitzel.

But, according to Mrs.
Schneider, she returned with offers
of a refund, not a new schnitzel.

But Alex Doubrava, jagerhof’s
long-time owner, says his restau-
rant has been making schnitzels
like the one served to the
Schneiders for the past 12 years
and has never had any complaints.

Schnitzel, he said, is supposed
to be thin.

Doubrava added that the
Schneiders enthusiastically down-
ed two of the three meals served
to them on the fateful evening.

The offending meal, he said, was
taken off their bill.

Past Table Hopping experiences
at Jagerhof have been good.

So it is up to other schnitzel
lovers to settle the debate: head to
the fage hof, down a schnitzel and
file your observations with Table
Hopping in a letter.

The results will be reported later
in this space.
