One of my favourite restaurants in Vancouver, the concept of this bistro is to source local ingredients to consumers. It was a sunny day, thus a trip to Granville Island was a must for me. As I wasn’t particularly hungry since it was only 3pm, I ordered the Mussels and frites and the duck poutine. They were both great snacks that tied me over to dinner and I would highly recommend them if you happen to be in the area. The fries are extremely crispy and fresh, and though I couldn’t taste the “duck fat”, it definitely was not your average fry. I was also lucky enough to have the opportunity to meet the lovely Carly from Kitchening and Co., in which I sampled and bought a few of her macarons to celebrate National Macaron Day.
The Yarrow Meadows Duck Poutine comes with two eggs, duck confit, cheese curds all on top of a bed of fries. This “gourmet” dish I found quite salty towards the bottom but there is so much flavour in each bite. The cheese curds used were not the squeaky kind, but instead were nicely melted into the fries. I loved the use of shredded duck because it really does enhance the flavour of each component and impressively, the fries did not become soggy towards the end. The only downside about this dish is the portion size for the price as it is quite small. 
I found the broth to be too acidic for my liking, but the mussels were very plump. My favourite aspect of this plate was actually the aioli that came with the fries as it was one of the best dips I’ve had.
