Amid the sultry musical stylings of jazz diva Karen Holness, luxuriate on the sunny oceanfront patio as your complimentary amuse bouche—a demi-tasse of frothy hot cocoa and baby croissant—arrives.

10 things we love about salt tasting room

indian summer

island hopping

July 21st, 2006

Sadly, we don’t mean Capri to Santorini. But our good old Granville Island has a host of new culinary destinations that deserve a stop-in, even if your Missoni bikini and massive Dior sunglasses give you away.
