Piroshky Piroshky- 1908 Pike Place
Russian hand-held stuffed pies with sweet or salty fillings.The line up to this place was huge. You can see them making it as you wait in line.
Below: Smoked Mozzarella Cheese, Broccoli and Mushroom. The Piroshky is quite big and very filling. I could only eat half. The Beef and Cheese really enticed me as I waited in line. Will be trying that one next time!
Lowell’s- 1519 Pike Pl
Located right in the heart of Pike Place Market. Fresh seafood and great views.
Below: 16oz bowl of Clam Chowder. Creamy and fresh pieces of clam. A bit too salty for me but lots of fresh clam taste
Above: Wild Salmon Sandwich. Salmon was cooked perfectly, with delicious artichoke tartar
I have passed by the La Brasserie street food cart many times and everytime they were sold out. When I finally got the chance last week I was super excited. The Brass Chicken sandwich is quite big with lots of fried onions. The buttermilk bun was very soft and the chicken was very flavorful oozing with gravy. A bit salty for me however the buttermilk bun balanced it all out. I loved the fried onions and wanted more. I also added djion mustard to the sandwich which gave a tangy surprise. For $6.25 its a delicious lunch!
Brand new Coras in Coquitlam
I first about Cora when one of my good friends who went to Toronto for a vacation came back and raved about this breakfast joint. Coincidentally one evening we decided to go for a late dinner and saw the brand new Cora being built in Coquitlam. It was a nice surprise since we had no idea that Cora was coming to town. We arrived past 12 on a Sunday and the place was fully packed.
We started off with the smoothie of the day which was a blend of pineapples, mangoes, strawberries and orange. Very refreshing with no added sugar. Just all fruit!
Here’s the Cora special: 2 eggs, bacon, ham, sausage and crepe, served with roasted potatoes and toast. The portion is quite large and filling.
A delicious tuna melt with fruit. Loved this tuna melt and the layout of the fruit.I would have to say one of the best tuna melts I’ve had. Great flavor and just the right amount of cheese.
This crepe was the size of my arm! A thin layer of crepe, fresh fruit topped with whipped cream and icing sugar. So satisfying! If you like crepes then this is a must try.
Cora is definitely a great place for breakfast and lunch. Very healthy selections and everything is fresh.

Meat&Bread— Had time for a quick lunch on Tuesday with a friend who highly recommended this place since her 1st visit the day before. I have passed by this place previously and was captured by the name. Simple yet engaging.
The lunch crowd was dying down as we arrived around 1:30 in the afternoon. The first thing that caught my attention was the huge Porchetta that they had at the carving station. So obviously we ordered a Porchetta Sandwich @$8 with the soup of the day which was parsnip@ $4/bowl. Our second order consisted of the Meatball Sandwich @$7 and the Potato Salad @$4.
The Parsnip Soup had a good consistency and a well balanced flavor. The Meatball Sandwich had a spicy kicked to it. It was good but nothing great.
The Potato Salad was very interesting. The pieces were big and it tasted very different from a traditional salad. Not as creamy and it had more of a tangy taste. Worth trying!
Here’s the star of the show. The Porchetta Sandwich. The meat was tender and juicy. I really enjoyed the different texture. There were crunchy pieces of skin and really moist portions of meat. I also really enjoyed the Salsa Verde. It gave the sandwich the extra kick. The ciabatta bread was also soft and complimented well. The sandwich was delicious, however mine was a little too fatty. I had to pick out a couple of pieces of fat from the sandwich. I also loved how they carved the Porchetta as you order. Everything was fresh and came together well. Definitely a great place for a delicious sandwich!
Happy Socks!
