Farmer's Apprentice

I don't know if you know this but David Gunawan kills it. As in slays it real hard. And I know that I am pretty late on the Farmer's Apprentice train but there is no doubt in my mind that I will be back and that I will be checking out Royal Dinette asap. We went heavy on the seafood but the veggies blew it out of the park for me. 

I don't have time to properly blog anymore so this will just be a brief synopsis.


  • Date Night. 
  • Babysitter.
  • Walk across Granville bridge. 
  • Somehow get slightly lost.
  • No, "directionally confused".
  • (It's in a unexpected and unpretentious spot).
  • Bottle of wine.
  • Close yer eyes and point to anything on the menu and order it, it will be good.
  • From that first bite I was blown away, and it was a friggen cucumber. 
  • From that first bite of farm fresh cuke with salty foam I knew I'd be coming back. 
  • (Or it was a sign of things to come - HEYO).
  • I am pretty sure I was moderately embarrassing to be in public with: taking photos of every dish, raving about every single morsel of sablefish - warm octopus salad - or gnocchi that went in my mouth, and oooing over the little herb garden. 
  • #tipsy. 
  • No but seriously, the gnocchi was somehow crispy and light and buttery smooth all at the same time. 
  • #cabridehome.

The aforementioned cucumber dish.


Dungeness crab salad.


Gnocchi with zucchini. This one was my favourite.


Octopus salad.
