Digesting the best of the past year

From page 22

Mainland restaurants as Le Beaujolais,
L’Orangeric and Jean-Clande’s delivers some of
the finest grilled free-range chicken around. It
comes stuffed with garlic, dressed with fresh
herbs and sprinkled with pepper and a little sale.

And now for Table Hopping’s Best
Dining Experiences of 1996:

Opening with:

Moustache Cafe, 1265 Marine Dr., North
Vancouver, 987-8461.

Javan Khazali lost his Vancouver Moustache

in a Jan. 25 fire, but the original North
Vancouver location continues to thrive in its
quirky Marine Drive location. The addition of
maitre d’ Mikel Kanter from Biswp's restaurant
in Vancouver raised the Monstache experience
another knorch. Ross Spence now presides in
the Moustache kitchen. Food, service and
atmosphere are all four-star.

La Toque Blanche, 4368 Marine Dr.,
West Vancouver, 926-1006.

What Peter Wieser started John-Carlo
Felicella has built upon. This 50-seat destination
retreat in western West Vancouver serves some

of the best continental cuisine in the Lower
Mainland. Service is crisp and professional.

Seymour Golf and Country Club, 3723
Mount Seymour Parkway, North Vancouver,
929-5491.

Former Williae Tell saucier Johnny Chew is
in charge of the Seymour kitchen and he deliv-
ers a wonderful Astan-embroidered West Coast
menu. Dining room is not much. But the food
is worth the Seymour driving adventure. Open
to the public on Friday nights.

Some after dinner humor? Try:

The Avalon Hotel, 1025 Marine Dr.,
North Vancouver, 985-4181.

Rich Ehvood’s reopened his Punchline’s
comedy club in the Avalon in lare September.

A welcome interlude for local diners from gy

the 42-year-old North Shore resident. o
Fond farewells to:

mi Soren Fakstorp and his Saffren Bistro, which

closed in late 1996 after three years. It began as

an excellent breakfast and luncheon bar and

later expanded to serve dinner.

@ Jurgen and Manuela Schulte, who sold their

Chesa restaurant after 18 years.

B Joe Troll, who died Sept. 16 after launching

what has become an enduring, Troéf’s legend.

@ 1996, a vear of fine dining and high adven-

tures in gastromony.
