North Shore’s Favourites

| Readers Choice 2018

The People Have Spoken!

In this, our 22nd year hosting the Readers Choice Awards for the North Shore, we are delighted with the level of participation. With more than 5,500 ballots cast, we feel this is truly a representation of the “North Shore’s Favourites”!

Here on this side of the Lions Gate Bridge we are blessed with some amazing natural beauty as well as many top-notch dining, shopping and service options. Many of the merchants here offer exceptional customer service with products and services to match. In our busy world, North Shore residents appreciate the extra attention to detail as we go about our days, whether we are picking up our dry cleaning, getting our hair done, or heading out to celebrate a birthday at our family’s favourite ethnic restaurant. As such, we’ve designed Readers Choice to encompass 130 categories, including your Favourite Restaurant, Favourite Auto Service Centre, Favourite Real Estate company, Favourite Health Studio and more.

Simply put, today we celebrate the businesses that stand out from the rest.

In the pages that follow we are delighted to feature “your” choices for 2018.

Be sure to read the results to discover which businesses have reached the podium and even made platinum status – which is winning five years consecutively. While reviewing, take notice of the ads from businesses who have graciously thanked readers for their votes. Now, that is class! Then, get out there and sample the fare, the goods and the services of these businesses. They are local and rely on your patronage so they can in turn support our community.

Congratulations to all the winners, including platinum, silver and bronze – you have been chosen as being the best in this great community of ours. You are truly what make the North Shore special.

I took an instant liking to Swad Indian Kitchen, the newest addition to West Vancouver’s dining scene.

First of all, the interior is stunning, the sort of room that makes you take pause when you first enter. Or, at least, I took pause, perhaps because I didn’t expect it to look so elegant, with its thoughtful design elements, including an imposing, stylized, two-dimensional rendering of an old growth tree stump, its moody lighting, plush seating, highend stemware and flatware, immaculately uniformed staff and glass ensconced entrance. My expectations of the restaurant were different, I suspect, because Swad occupies the space formerly inhabited by Maurya, another Indian restaurant I enjoyed as well, but one that had a more rustic esthetic.

Maurya felt like an everyday casual diner; Swad feels like a special occasion hotspot.

At Swad, men in dark suits work the room like seasoned pros, keeping their practiced eyes on all aspects of the dining experience, greeting and engaging with guests, answering menu questions, flagging empty glasses to servers, and providing an overall sense of polish. Floor staff don crisp white aprons, white collared shirts and ties and move swiftly through the room; it is clear that the ownership here has a singular vision for Swad Indian Kitchen, one that is informed by very high standards.

That commitment to excellence was evidenced in every aspect of my recent meal there with my wife
