DINER: Gord Martin’s “Go Fish” Concept To Land In Recently Vacated Bin 942 Spot
July 1, 2011
by Andrew Morrison | Rumours have been swirling around as to what chef/owner Gord Martin has planned for his Bin 942 Tapas Parlour space at 1521 West Broadway ever since he shuttered it on June 11th.
Word has it that it’s going to be the second location of Go Fish, the supremely popular seafood shack on the False Creek seawall next to Fisherman’s Wharf. A lot of people love the original, myself included, so if this goes through it should be interesting to see if the concept translates well to brick and mortar, especially with Gord’s penchant for loud music and wild decor. I’m so used to eating this food outside in the sunshine while fending off gulls. Here’s hoping it works!

Vancouver, BC | Chef Gord Martin’s popular Bin 941 and 942 restaurants have always abided by a strict rule – no reservations! But that is all about to change with the launch of a brand-new Chef’s Table at Bin 942. This new, semi-private booth, set against Bin 942′s kitchen, is the only table in the Bin empire that is available for reservations. The Chef’s Table can be booked for parties of four to six, and guests can order their favourite items from the menu or put themselves in the hands of Chef Martin or Chef de Cuisine Michael Manlulu. With advance notice, custom menus and exclusive “Chef’s Table” creations are available by special request (pic after the jump)… Read more
Bin 941 Is Still Full And Kicking Ass On Davie
March 20, 2009
I had a swell time at Bin 941 the other night, test driving a few new menu items. They’re now doing three “pinxos” style dishes for $5 each. These were spice-rubbed albacore with crisped salmon skin and kumquat pickled plum puree; crispy curried cauliflower with watermelon raita and watercress; and grilled beef short ribs marinaded in soy and mustard and dotted with little coconut pearls. We followed these with leg of lamb served with saffron-infused cannellini beans (really); cinnamon and chili-rubbed flank steak with chipotle and maple syrup wash; tons of frites; moules a plenty; baked brie; and a several other bits of awesomeness. Top marks all round, as per usual. Read more
