There was a FIFA watch party (Canada vs Qatar) so the energy was up and people were into it. I grabbed some food, walked around, and just took everything in. The highlight though was randomly coming across a guy performing live music. He was playing instruments beautifully. Definitely one of those moments where you don't rush it, you just stop and listen. Overall, it's a nice place to wander, eat, and catch the vibe of the city all in one spot.

I stopped by The Lobster Man while exploring Granville Island Public Market…read more It's a small spot with no real place to eat inside, so plan on grabbing your food and finding a seat somewhere around the market. Service was kinda blah, they said the words but weren't friendly like teens forced to do something (I don't think they were teens btw). I ordered the warm lobster roll and a prawn cocktail. Unfortunately, the lobster roll was a letdown. It wasn't very warm, the lobster itself didn't have much flavor, tasted off and the whole sandwich was just kind of dry. Thank goodness I also ordered the prawn cocktail because it saved the meal. It wasn't anything fancy, but the prawns were a good size and gave me something I actually halfway enjoyed. Overall, I didn't have the experience I was looking forward to.

I found J'Adore Les Macarons on Yelp that they offer macron class, let's do it! The instructor Connie is friendly and knowledgeable. My friend and I arrived 10 mins early before the class, the notes and some ingredients were prepared and placed on countertop. Yes, we made macarons at her kitchen. The first thing I learnt from Connie was how to pronounce Macaron. (Mac-a-ron). Macaron is referring to the French Macaron. If pronounce it macaroon, it is the coconut kind. We started with a cup of tea and tasted beautiful macarons during the class. Our group decided to make Lavender macarons with buttercream and chocolate ganache which made of 66% Valhrona dark chocolate. Connie taught us her secrets and techniques to make Parisian macarons. During the class, she vigilant in checking and measuring the ingredients. After 4 hours long class, I really enjoyed and learnt a lot. I took 18 macarons home and shared with my friend and hubby. I would recommend any macaron lover to take the class or buy the macarons from Connie

I am relatively new to them as just being introduced to them this year! Although I am a macaron noob, I've looked online and read recipes and know enough about them to truly appreciate the precision that goes into its creation. So I went to their website and signed up for a class on Victoria day. I went on my own as my friend was unavailable. Connie, the instructor emailed me promptly to let me know as soon as there are 4 people in the class, it will be good to go. The class is held at Connie's house which I liked as it was warm and comfortable and made me feel at ease. I'm just a self-taught baker making assorted cookies and cupcakes at home and have never taken a class before so I didn't know what to really expect. The intimate setting of having 4 students was awesome. She had tea for us to drink, fun aprons to wear and 2 sample macarons to taste as we learned the secrets of baking macarons. It's great for people who have tried making macarons and need to tweak something to make consistent perfect macarons. You can tell Connie is just obsessed with macarons. I love it! She has done the work, spent time learning the skill and art of them and loves sharing that information through her classes. I think she said she has been making macarons weekly for the past year and a half! That's a LOT of macarons. If you love macarons and love to bake, Connie's class is a MUST. I had so much fun, and she is so pleasant. She even welcomes emails if you have a macaron crisis at home and have questions in the future. The price is fair. $100 for instruction PLUS you get to take 20 macarons home! It was definitely worth it. The whole experience makes me dreamy for Paris and macarons. Thank-you again Connie for generously sharing your expertise!

Overpriced pastries paired with extremely rude, mocking service at Ladurée Robson Street Vancouver…read moreI visited this boutique with my mother recently. Since my mother cannot eat overly sweet desserts, I only planned to buy one single macaron for myself. Throughout ordering, I smiled and spoke polite, proper English without any disruptive behaviour. One female staff member asked "only one?" twice in an exaggerated, mocking tone after I confirmed my small purchase. During checkout, two female staff exchanged eye contact and snickered quietly at us. Right after I pushed open the entrance door and was still halfway out of the shop, they burst into obvious, loud laughter directed at me and my mother. When I calmly asked what they were laughing about, they stared at me and kept jeering without a single word of explanation. These macarons are sold at a very high premium price in downtown Vancouver. If the shop required a minimum spending amount, clear notices should have been posted in advance. Without any posted purchase rules, every customer deserves the freedom to pick any number of items they want, rather than facing open ridicule from employees. I cannot stop wondering whether visitors of other ethnic backgrounds buying just one macaron would receive this same cold, mocking treatment. This upsetting encounter ruined the mood of both my mother and me entirely. Vancouver is famous for multicultural friendliness and inclusive hospitality. It is truly disappointing that a world-famous premium French pastry brand allows such unkind, judgemental service toward guests here. I have submitted a formal complaint to Ladurée global headquarters and attached storefront photos as proof for this review. Travellers and local residents should think twice before visiting this location.

My husband and I ordered the strawberry refresher, classic soufflé pancakes, avocado eggs Benedict on a croffle, and the teriyaki chicken karaage. The strawberry refresher was delicious and probably my favorite part of the meal. The classic soufflé pancakes, however, weren't quite what I expected. They didn't look nearly as aesthetic as the photos, there were some burnt areas, and the flavor felt like it was missing something -- just slightly bland overall. The avocado eggs Benedict was okay, but the hollandaise sauce had a flavor I couldn't quite identify that tasted a little off to me. The tater tots also had a strange fishy-type seasoning or flavor that I personally didn't enjoy at all. The teriyaki chicken karaage wasn't as crispy as I expected either. The outside lacked crunch, and parts of the chicken were a little soggy inside. That said, the employees were very nice and respectful, the restaurant itself was very clean, and the service was fast. Ordering is done through a kiosk, which made the process simple and efficient.
