Pomegranate Bistro

One of the few good American restaurants on the Eastside.

I have been to Pomegranate Bistro plenty of times since they opened.  Never disappointed.

Food has always been delicious and fresh.  I love that their menus change with seasons.  Although sometimes dishes that I like disappeared.

First thing when I got into the store was to purchase my favorite cherry chocolate scones.

Their scones were not as soft and fluffy as Murchie’s, but the flavors were very good, particularly the deep dark chocolate with the chewy dried cherries.

They often sold out of this particular flavor scones as well.

Eating out in Victoria BC

Dragon Boat racing brought me to Victoria BC, Canada this last weekend!

We had fish burger and oyster burger at Barb’s.  The fish and oysters were both very fresh, and the sandwiches were flavorful but greasy.  DH and I opted for healthier grill versions of our food rather than fish and chips since we were racing.  We also got a side of steamed clams.  Unfortunately the clams were dry, perhaps because there was no juice.  In fact, it was probably the first time I had steamed clams without juice (I suspected that the juice were saved for making chowder).
