DINE OUT VANCOUVER - QUATTRO

It's DINE OUT VANCOUVER time again and while Michelle and I finalize our choices for this year, I thought I'd share the QUATTRO menus with all y'all. Why these ones? Well 1) because they are family and 2) because they sound so damn good.



DINE OUT VANCOUVER is a great reason to go out there and try some good food and new restaurants for a reasonable price and why not try QUATTRO as well, you won't be disappointed.
