The Vancouver Sun, CBC, Province, and CTV all report on Cactus Club winning the bid for the Parks Board restaurant space at English Bay.

In the Globe & Mail, Alexandra Gill reviews The Urban Tea Merchant on West Georgia and then Oru in the Pacific Rim.

In the Westender, I go on a search for great Neapolitan pizza (much harder than I thought).

In the Georgia Straight, Tara Lee writes about the growing family-style dining trend while Jurgen Gothe previews the Wine Festival.

In the North Shore News, Deana Lancaster goes on soup safari at Burgoo.

In the Vancouver Courier, Tim Pawsey investigates claims of Malbec being the new Shiraz.

In the Vancouver Sun, Anthony Gismondi gets ready to speed date wines at the Wine Festival while Mia Stainsby remembers 16 years of Dining Out For Life and reviews Oru (very positively).

Anya Levykh also dines at Oru in the new Fairmont Pacific Rim Hotel and loves it as well (mental note: go to Oru).
