Dining it out at Cactus Club Cafe

Dining it out at Cactus Club Cafe on Burrard, in the heart of downtown Vancouver City, definitely has become one of the chosen favorites to appreciate. Keep it coming! We were in the search of a hip classy restaurant for our New Years dinner. Obviously, being us girls, winging the night, we discovered all the restaurants in downtown were booked for the night. We spent about half the hour walking the night around Alberni Street, downtown Vancouver. Restaurants such as Kobe Steakhouse, the Coast, and Black and Blue restaurant were all filled that night and soon a little bit of ignorance poured over us as we walked the streets without a solid plan for the evening. With doubt over our faces, we decided to peek our heads onto the casual dining restaurant field. Cactus Club Cafe, known to the city as a popular dining for the outgoing individuals out there.

This wonderful Tuna Tataki Salad is a must for a delectable appetizer on the menu. The moist, tender, softly prepared Tuna Tataki makes it effortless for guests to appreciate their dining straight from the beginning.
