Los restaurants Españoles. El 12 de diciembre 2010.

Cafe Barcelona Vancouver Spanish Tapas
Café Barcelona se sitúa a 1049 calle Granville en Vancouver, B.C. La comida es de España y Barcelona. Hay muchas tapas auténticas. Hay muchos platos incluir, Txistorra: Un salchicha basque. Ensalada rusa: patatas, aceitunas, arvejas, atún y zanahorias en mayonesa. La comida de Café Barcelona es mediano, y a veces muy barato. Yo recomiendo Café Barcelona por mi clase porque es comida bien, y mediano/barato.
Una crítica por el restaurante:

“Cafe Barcelona is a tiny restaurant nestled in the bustle of downtown Granville Street, sandwiched between pubs, hot dog outlets and fringe shopping. You'd easily walk by it if you didn't know what you were looking for. The interior is slightly dark, with rich wood tones on the paneling and chairs, and the walls are covered with lovely photographs of Barcelona and its unique Gaudi architecture. The restaurant owner is an extremely pleasant and friendly Spanish ex-pat from Valencia who treats each customer like they're the only ones in the restaurant; the service is excellent and very prompt.”


Latin Quarter es un restaurant sitúa a 1305 Commercial Drive, Vancouver, B.C. La comida es muy caro, y mal. La comida de Latin Quarter es del Mediterráneo y hay tapas de España. Hay muchos platos… pallas, pasta, curry, pollo, y más. Yo no recomiendo el restaurante por la clase. Hay muy caro y comida mal.
Una crítica:

Latin Quarter - VancouverFinally, a long promised get together with friends over diner the Latin Quarter. Would I go back.....never! The total bill was over $400.00 which included an automatic %15 gratuity for tables of 6 or more..absolutely unjustifiable considering the poor food quality and mediocre food service.
The appetizers were the best part of the meal. In particular chicken drumsticks and chicken livers.
Entrees included curried pasta, rabbit, seafood hotpot and paella for two. The pasta curry at $18.95 was an inexpensive grade of penne with the texture of cardboard and swimming in a soupy, curry broth that brought back memories of my Mother's Nabob curry dishes, 1950 vintage (sorry Mom). The rabbit dish was tough and the taste of rabbit was lost to the over powering flavour of the sauce. The seafood hot pot contained clams, mussels and scallops in sauce. Shellfish need to be fresh or fresh frozen to be good. The scallops in this dish were fishy tasting because they were dated and ruined the dish. Paella traditionally may be meat, seafood or a mix. Difficult to tell what this was as there was no chicken (normally used in paella) and little seafood. The rice was glutinous and vegetable sparse as well. Way overpriced at $45.00 per couple.
We had reservation for 7:30 and by 9:00 pm you had to yell across the table to have a conversation. Not a pleasant dining experience at all.

PhotoAndale’s Mexican Restaurant se sitúa a 1175 calle Davie, Vancouver, B.C. La comida es de México y España, y la comida especialidad de la restaurante son fajitas y enchaladas. La comida es de almuerzo y cena, y el precio es mediano. La comida es a si a si. Yo no recomiendo por mi clase porque la comida no es barato. 

Una crítica:

One of the worst restaurants I have ever tried! Overpriced as well. I figured since every other restaurant in the West End, especially on that block, was good that this one would be as well. Boy was I mistaken. This was the worst Mexican food I have ever tried, even worse then Taco Bell if you can believe that. It is just like Taco Bell but with $15 entres! The person who wrote that the food is close to Mexico must have only been to Tijuana, or works at the restaurant.
