Restaurant review: A taste of Vegas at Honey Salt at Parq Vancouver

Review analysis
food   staff   ambience   desserts  

And that was what Elizabeth Blau and husband Kim Canteenwalla took on as food and beverage operators at the Parq Vancouver comprised of two chic hotels and a casino — Las Vegas in a nutshell.

Blau is a Las Vegas consultant who lit fire to the celebrity chef culture (at Bellagio and Wynn hotels) before opening restaurants with Canteenwalla.

Canteenwalla oversees the food at all their restaurants, Buddy V’s at the Venetian Hotel (with celeb chef Buddy Valastra as partner), Andiron Steak & Sea, and Honey Salt.

Restaurant chef Jason Labahn was plucked from Vegas seven years ago by the Glowbal Restaurant Group to head Black and Blue Steak House.

A few items on the Honey Salt dinner menu are Vegas celebs — the scallops with charred cauliflower, vanilla bean cauliflower purée and truffle sauce ($33) another, ‘My Wife’s Favourite’, a duck confit with pomegranates, mixed greens, pine nuts and orange ($17, and named by Canteenwalla).

Restaurant Review: Diners Beat a Path to Honey Road in Burlington ...

Like that famed, much-awarded restaurant, Honey Road specializes in mezze — small plates that are perfect for sharing — from Greece, Turkey, and the Near and Middle East.

How is Honey Road getting such a wide swath of Vermonters to sample dishes they've never heard of, on days of the week that tend to be challenging for the restaurant business?

People on a tight budget can come in and nibble on a slew of dishes priced between $4 (for spiced fried chickpeas) and $12 (for flavorful veggie dishes, such as butternut squash pastry with braised greens and pickled apple).

All of the dishes I tried at Honey Road landed between good and exceptional, with most trending toward the delightful end of the spectrum.

On my second visit, a new item had appeared on the menu: half a roasted Honeynut squash from Half Pint Farm, topped with slender shreds of bitter radicchio, goat cheese, hazelnuts and bread crumbs ($12).

The first restaurant venture, the diminutive Honey & Co in Warren Street, always packed like bees in a hive, led to much-lauded cookery books and Honey & Spice, a patisserie and delicatessen in the same street.

Dinner at Honey & Smoke — lunch service may come later — starts with Moroccan sourdough, Kalamata olives, raw vegetables, pickles and olive oil for the cover charge of £2 per person.

Whole sea bass with preserved lemon dressing; lamb chops in tahini barbecue sauce with charred Victoria plums; lamb kofta Adana style, where the meat is minced with onion, garlic, chilli, pistachios and spices; sweet potato cooked in embers with almonds, date honey and spring onions; all — tried over two dinners — are delectable, admirable, an irrefutable gastronomic contribution to the Middle East peace process.

Side dishes of crisp burnt potatoes with paprika, garlic and parsley, m’jadra, lentils and rice with cumin and caramelised onions, chopped salad made to order and a green salad with orange blossom dressing all beckon.

Booking is allowed at Honey & Smoke, which may be the only inauthentic note in a reimagined Middle Eastern grill house.

Honey & Co: restaurant review | Life and style | The Guardian

There are many things I want from a restaurant; love is not one of them.

Honey & Co, a small whitewashed place with a Moorish tiled floor and a Levantine menu to match, is that exception.

When a chef tells you he prefers eating to cooking, as Itamar does, you know you are in good hands.

It was still a very good bowl of meat.

Instead we finished with a soft, warm pistachio cake with the sour punch of roasted plums and an extraordinarily good cold cheese cake, of deep, rich, sweet-sour honeyed cream on a crisp, sugared pastry base.
