Vancouver, like the rest of the world, is going through the Covid-19 crisis at the moment. Many local businesses including restaurants and shops are facing the challenge of surviving the period.\u00a0 \u00a0According to DailyHive, All Vancouver restaurant dining rooms have been ordered to close today,\u00a0with the exceptions of\u00a0 the ones that are offering takeout or delivery and a safe working environment for their employees.\u00a0<\/span>The order comes after\u00a0the City of Vancouver declared a state of emergency<\/a>\u00a0on March 19, and will officially come into effect at midnight tonight.\u00a0\u00a0Water St Cafe, a landmark restaurant in Gastown for over 30 years, continues to have their classic dishes available through take out, drive through, and delivery. I had a chance to come in and see how they keep up the food quality to their standards of excellence.<\/p>\n

For starter,\u00a0 the West Coast Crab Cakes<\/strong> ($10.95), prepared with\u00a0pacific rock crab and baby shrimp, with a side of preserved citrus, fennel, and arugula, and fished with saffron aioli, would satisfy any seafood lovers, where as the the Water St. Salad<\/strong> ($15.95),\u00a0 packed with\u00a0heirloom tomato, goat cheese, avocado, pumpkin seeds, cucumber, and tuscan greens, and completed with honey lemon olive oil vinaigrette, is the perfect garden fresh dish for the spring.<\/p>\n

Pasta dishes are Chef Alan’s specialties. I would highly recommend the Short Rib Pappardelle<\/strong> ($14.95), fully loaded with\u00a072 hour braised short rib raguet, confit garlic, fresh basil, asiago cheese, or any of the House-made Gnocchi<\/strong>\u00a0($17.95 ~ $19.95) dishes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

For the mains, the choices are the Grilled Wild BC Salmon<\/strong> ($22.95) with\u00a0pan roasted potatoes,\u00a0 topped with balsamic and honey pickled blueberries, the Beef Short Ribs<\/strong> ($24.95),\u00a0 prepared with sous vide Prince Edward Island beef, herb crushed potato, crispy onions, and hoisin jus, and the New York Steak<\/strong> ($29.95), an 8-oz AAA Canadian striploin with salsa verde and cajun fries. All excellent choices with a ton of finesse and flavour.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

For dessert, the Lemon Tart<\/strong> ($6.95) is my favourite, but the Flourless Chocolate<\/strong> ($6.95) is also an delectable choice.<\/p>\n
