It is always sad to say good bye to summer as\u00a0we live in a city\u00a0that is so beautiful in summer – the sun, the beaches and the lusciously green nature.\u00a0\u00a0But for us foodies, we have our ways to counter the autumn\u00a0chills and the winter blues. There are always comforting dishes that make us happy on any\u00a0gloomy day, such as the ones Dockside Restaurant on Granville Island is offering a few\u00a0classic dishes for the fall and the holiday season, I was fortunate to get invited to taste those dishes created by their Executive Chef,\u00a0Victor Jacinto.<\/p>\n

For a\u00a0starter, the Crab & Shrimp Cake<\/strong>\u00a0($17) is finely crafted, and served\u00a0with charred lemon aioli and herb salad – a delicious classic that showcase the chef’s specialty in seafood cuisine. So is the Tuna Nicoise Salad <\/strong>($23) a\u00a0popular seafood starter among the locals,\u00a0which features seared albacore tuna, egg, greens, kalamata olives and yukon gold potatoes.<\/p>\n

The Braised Lamb Shank Osso Bucco<\/strong>\u00a0($37)has drawn inspirations from several world cuisines, and is presented with an exotic pearly barley risotto and market vegetables with vibrant colours. The braisage sauce (made from the braising liquid) ties all the flavours together.<\/p>\n
