On Saturday I treated my friend to dinner, for her 18th birthday. I chose the restaurant Whet at Granville Island because of the waterfront view and the selection of food offered. We arrived at around 5:30 and were promptly seated. We requested to sit on the heated patio because of the Waterfront view and fresh air. It took a while for us to make up our minds about what to order but I decided on the Beet Salad. This salad caught my eye because it contained an array of ingredients that I thought would compliment each other perfectly, and they did! My salad contained a mixture of red and golden beets, winter greens, candied almonds, goats cheese, maple balsamic reduction and crispy noodles. It was so delicious and it was presented beautifully!
The birthday girl ordered the Killer Fish Tacos. The tacos had pan seared fish (cod, I believe), lime, cajun spices, lettuce, valentina crema, cilantro and salsa served on two corn flour tortillas. To be honest I was surprised by the portion (small, only two)for the price and surprised that they were not served in taco shells. Nonetheless, they tasted absolutely incredible!! I may have had a bite or two. Haha
After we finished our meal I presented my friend with a birthday cupcake from Cupcakes. I got her the matcha green tea cupcake because it is limited addition and it had cream cheese icing (her favorite)! The cupcake was alright. I love anything that is green tea but the cake itself was a bit dry. However, the icing was incredible. Not too sweet but it complimented the cake very well! We had a great experience at Whet! The day was beautiful so we had the chance to appreciate the beautiful view from the patio. The service was great and they were very kind to take lots of pictures for us.
If I were to go back to Whet I would go during their happy hour special (4pm-6pm) and order the fish tacos. During the happy hour special they are sold for $5 per "taco". Which comes out to be a better value for your money. If you ordered this way it will also give you the opportunity to try the steak strip and the chicken taco. After we ate we walked around Granville Island for a bit and then came back to my house for a night in. We changed into comfy clothes and snacked on ice cream and fruits while we watched Monsters University. It was a nice night and a great way to end spring break! <3
