Toratatsu Japanese Tapas Bistro

Thursday, October 22nd, 2009 :: 11:38 pm

A while ago I was looking up restaurants in the Vancouver West End area and came across Toratatsu Japanese Tapas Bistro on Denman, just across the famous Kintaro (which I have yet to visit). I’ve been past this area a couple of times before but I have no idea how I missed it! Apparently the restaurant is owned by the same chef as Shiru-Bay Chopstick Cafe, which is quite a surprise.

The decoration is quite modern, with ceiling lights that look like the Ikea ones, and the daily specials written on mirrors. It’s quite an intimate place, I would guess that it holds 40ish people, with dim lights. Their food was quite creative and special – with good portions. For their rolls, they torch the tobiko on the sushi right at your table!

We had a great meal there, it’s a “definite visit again” restaurant for me!
