🍽 A Coquitlam staple

Hey foodies!

I have the perfect night out for you if you’re looking to hit Vancouver:

I went to Cirque du Soleil’s opening of Kooza last night, and it made for the perfect night out so I’m giving you the plan:

• Dinner at Torafuku (on Main St), a Michelin recommended spot. Get their tasting menu for $39 or $69 each. Leave full and happy.

• Walk over to Cirque’s Big Top and take in Kooza.

You’re welcome.

Now for more local goods, let’s go.
