TASTE
Well-executed food comes with chips From page 36
the alternative of chips (not fries), which seem an odd choice to pair with such wellexecuted food. Desserts and pastries are also made in-house. We could have indulged in a poached pear tart with vanilla ice cream or a tea cake, but we couldn’t manage another bite. The bill for lunch, which also included a tea, added up to $25.42 including HST. While I do plan to go back and try brunch, it’s going to be tough to order anything except my sandwich.
Tour de Feast café and catering is at 319 Mountain Hwy., North Vancouver. Call 604-980-1811 or visit tourdefeast.com. ••• Seeking the perfect gift for the gourmand in your life?
