Where have you bean?
Anyone is who is in my inner circle knows my passion for eating out. I always enjoy trying new eats, but am seldomly impressed. I suppose I’m just picky, or a little spoiled, or a combination. Now, when I do have a good meal at a new restaurant/bistro/cafe etc, I usually return a week or so later to see if they are consistent.
Recently, I had the pleasure of visiting a nice little cafe called “Bean Around the World”. Nice place, kind-of hidden in Yaletown where it seems only the locals eat. It is one of those places that I’ve passed by a million times, but never stopped in, until a few weeks ago. I ordered a nice chicken and brie panini and to my surprise, it was simple, grilled nicely, well seasoned, and very tasty.
I returned yesterday with a co-worker, and this time I had a 4- Cheese Calzone. The Calone was cooked very nicely, cheese was nicely melted, and very tasty. Now while it didn’t it didn’t try to compete with old world gastronomy, it was a fantastic interpretation of a flipped pizza.
Bottom line is, if you want a nice, quick meal without the “raspberry vinaigrette”, give Bean around the world a shot.
