The Tea House in Vancouver

After our ROCKIN’ workshop last week in Port Moody, BC, we had the opportunity to hangout afterwards with a few of the students from the workshop and with the studio directors of Newport Yoga, Chris and Karen. A late comer to our after-workshop soiree was Francois, the new head chef at the Tea House in Stanley Park.

As you might have guessed, it didn’t take long for us to figure out when we would make our Stanley Park brunch debut…. I will cut to the chase here, it was BY FAR the best brunch we have ever had!!!

Francois had let the staff know that we were coming, so immediately as soon as we walked in, we were welcomed as if we were showing up to Sunday brunch at a friends house – which it turns out, we were:)

Francois came out to go over the menu with us and then to keep us happy until our main dishes came out, he sent out a few of his favorite dishes for us all to share. Every step of the way, our palettes danced to the tune of perfection! If you have ever had the opportunity to be in the presence of a brilliant artist who loves what they do, you will know, their brilliance is palpable… and in this case, it was beyond measure!

The photos below will help to tell the story where words end… when your imagination ceases to fill in the blanks… make the beautiful walk out to the Tea House and experience the magic for yourself!

If you make it out, please say hi to Mona, the general manager, and let her know that you are a friend of mine – you never know it might work – you may just find yourself at the best table enjoying an amazing treat sent out “compliments of the chef”:))
