The Vault


Another casual restaurant near Cloverdale, very popular with the locals. The interior looks like a bar, but there s an actual vault at the back of the restaurant! Makes me think this place was an actual bank before!

The dishes remind me of former dishes from other places. Read on.

We started out with a Roasted potato & Duck confit poutine. Not bad, but you can't call this poutine. Very few "fries", but the gravy is good and I always enjoy duck, though I get the feeling the duck was leftover and nuked with the order. Still fries + cheese + gravy = Happy Doug

Debbie ordered the Chicken and Mushroom farfale. It tasted familiar, if your memory goes back a ways you might remember the "Rainforest Cafe" at Metrotown about 10+ years ago. This tasted like the Rasta Pasta! That is a good thing.

I ordered the Seafood Penne, this is a version of the penne dish the from Earl's a while ago, with chunks of fish in a tomato cream sauce. They didn't skimp on the seafood, and it tasted good, but I have fonder memories of the dish from Earl's. Still I'd order this again.

Overall a decent meal, but nothing to rave about. I suddenly wish Rainforest Cafe was still around...
