Best Restaurants for Afternoon Coffee in Blaine

We dined at Joey's on our 3rd evening in Vancouver. So far it is our favorite! The vibe was lively and the service attentive. But the food! There was such good variety for my husband and my varied tastes. I had the steak and sushi along with the house salad. I have never tasted such delicious and unusual sushi before! The aburi sushi was new to me and very much enjoyed. I ate every bite. My husband had the chicken parmesan. It came artistically presented with the noodles spun atop the chicken. The chicken was moist and delicious and balanced well with the imaginative house salad. The prices were reasonable for downtown Vancouver.

The perfect Tea experience in Victoria. The scones were perfectly light and crispy on the outside and flaky and moist on the inside. The cream was lusciously think and the jam was fresh and not too sweet. Just the right amount of food, and we were able to take leftovers to go. I love that they offer the locally made Silk Road Tea as their tea option. I dare say that the scones and offerings were as good and perhaps even better than the offerings at The Empress, at far less cost. If you've already done Tea elsewhere, give this lovely tea house a visit.

Jasmine and the team at Ruex are amazing. Thank you so much for the great food and service!
