Secret Supper Party ~ Photo-log

I was invited to a Secret Supper party by a friend of W's. The dinner was hosted by a husband and wife team who held reservations-only (from referrals only) dinners at their cozy condo. Surprisingly, the chef (husband) was an old high school friend of W! They had lost contact after they graduated and they met up again here! Crazy!

Anyway, back to the food. We had a 5-course meal complete with palate cleansers and coffee or tea at the end while W's friend brought his own wine for our party of 6. I apologize in advance for the quality of the photos because of the dim lighting.

This secret supper was a unique experience and as the name suggested, I felt very privileged to be invited to partake in a delicious and fun dinner amongst friends. The husband and wife team have now partnered up with another of W's friend/colleague and have opened up a restaurant in Yaletown! It's a French-Asian fusion inspired bistro called Cache. Please visit and try their food if possible!
