Vancouver Good

I was in need of some beer and sustenance last night so walked over to Abigail’s Party for a late dinner.

Abigail’s is from the same owners of The Flying Tiger (which I love!) and Hell’s Kitchen – all located in different parts of Kitsilano.

If I were to rank them, I’d go with 1. Flying Tiger, 2. Abigail’s Party, and 3. Hell’s Kitchen (a distant third for me).

But I was at Abigail’s Party last night and it was enjoyable. We dropped in around 9:30pm and the small restaurant was half full with a nice buzz. The menu features mains running between $14-20, including Steak Frites, Moroccan Chicken, and “Big Al’s Beef Burger.”

I need to order frites anywhere I go, and they came hot out of the fryer with a side of aioli and ketchup for dipping. Yummy potatoes, but they lacked the real light & crispy feel I love about frites.  But good.

Next were mains. My husband ordered the feature main of halibut with a blood orange reduction, pickled apples and a warm potato and green bean salad. I ordered the Ling Cod served atop a yummy, creamy mix of mushrooms, spinach, corn, and squash. I have to say, the Ling Cod won hands down. I’m glad it was mine!

Beer on tap was Red Truck Lager – light and refreshing. Overall, a quick, satisfying dinner. A nice change-up from hitting the usual chain restaurants.
