We came to Wolfgang Puck Pizzeria inside Crystals for a light meal because we have some coupons that came with our hotel room at Aria.  The service is impeccable and the food is very delicious.  We ordered a classic spaghetti and meatball pasta, wild mushroom fire-oven roasted pizza, and a special entree of beef short ribs with gnocchi in a red wine reduction sauce.  To finish off our meal, we had their deep fried donuts rolled in orange and caramel sauce.  

Spaghetti, Tomatoes, Basil, Garlic with House Made Meatballs

Located  near Granville Island, this little fish n chips joint is a hidden gem!  Most people would head straight into Granville Island and get their fish n chips, but this joint is tucked away and has a cute charm to it.  There are some outdoor sitting with wooden benches around, it would be lovely to go in the summer time.  We went, however, during the Christmas, and were freezing by the ocean.  Great fish and chips though! Next time I would definitely also try their sandwiches.

1 piece of cod fish and chips ($7.50)

2 pieces of salmon and chips ($11)
