ORTH of 20th Street -

on the Lonsdéee strip,
‘8. §) the commercial
ground gets hard and all but
‘bereft of the social nutrients
needed for cultivating
restaurants.

It is, after all, an area residents
might head to fora rousing lawn
bowling session or to perfect that
elusive Triple Lutz onthe rec
ceritre ice rink.

It's not a common destination
for fine dining, unless a Big Mac
and.a Filet-o’-Fish sandwich
qualify in.your books.

“7% But hardy restaurant seeds are
“starting to take root in Upper

‘ Lonsdale... -
-. Gen Sushi has, for example,
brought Japanese food to the
area; and Mythos has established
‘a good Greek taverna outpost a
block to the south of Gen.

La Minore adds another Greek
ingredient to the Upper Lonsdale
mix. Its focus, however, is more
Greco-Roman than Mythos’ more

- traditional Greco-Taverna.

PASTA PLACE ... Penne Al Fonso, a shrimp and lettuce salad
and a side of garlic bread grace a table at North Vancouver's '

La Minore restaurant.

The 40-seat venue opened in
mid-January in an upper
Lonsdale storefront that has
played host to a number of small

‘restaurant predecessors.

It features 27 homemade pas-
tas and a warm family-run restau-
rant atmosphere.

Sounds pretty Italian, right?

The calorie-besotted heads of the -

weekend Table Hopping team
bob affirmatively in unison. And

NEWS ‘photo Terry Paters

other more astute diners would
also be justified in making the
assumption that La Minore is
Italian after an initial stroll
through the restaurant's door.

The restaurant’s name has dif-

ferent meanings in Greek and
italian (the time before the sun

rises or sets in the former;a musi-

cal note in the fatter).
