Conveniently located just steps away from the two Granville Island Arts Club Theatre venues, Edible Canada at the Market is a perfect spot for a  pre-show meal, specially on a cold rainy Vancouver night. We were seeing Blue Box at the Revue Stage and opted to have supper at Edible Canada before the show..

We were given the Fall menu to peruse. I had already scanned through it on-line and my attention was caught by the Pacific Grilled Octopus. Interestingly,  as we cruised across  False Creek on the Aquabus my two fellow diners mentioned that when they had  eaten at Edible Canada a couple of weeks previously another guest at their table had ordered the octopus. It was so good that they had both decided that that was what they were going to order for their dinner tonight.

And that's what we did. Three orders of the Pacific Grilled Octopus... and it was every bit as good  as it sounded. Served with fingerling potatoes, watercress, a chorizo rouille (spicy sauce) and crispy spicy onions, the tastes and texture worked perfectly and I ate every last scrap. We all enjoyed the dish but that's why this review only has one photograph.

Two of us enjoyed a glass of the 2012 Rosé from Clos du Soleil winery in Keremeos in the South Similkameen valley. Made from Cabernet Sauvignon, the deep strawberry colour indicates the fruity berry flavours. I really liked this wine as it is not too dry for my palate.   Our third diner had the 2013 Nichol Vineyard Pinot Gris from Naramata.  Both wines by the glass were delivered by FreshTap - a system for providing wine by the glass that tastes  as good as from a freshly opened bottle. More about this later.

Pleasant meal, good service, great location for the theatre. I'm sure I will be back many times in the future.
