Which is to say I took a day trip recently. Lunch at Le Pichet, then a late dinner at Delancey. Both were good to excellent, but the real revelation was the location of second lunch, (or first dinner depending how you want to look at it.)

Australian import, Nicholas Foley, has opened Charlie’s restaurant and bar in the old Pinky’s Steakhouse location at 1265 Hamilton Street in Yaletown, sandwiched between Charm Modern Thai and the Glowbal Group’s Society. This is the third turn on this space in the last few years; let’s hope this one is indeed the charm and sticks around for a while.
