These days, we truly eat with our eyes first; visually-appealing foods are frequently and constantly documented.
From dishes that are culinary experiences to photogenic plates, you’re going to want to make sure you have your phone out for these seven Instagram-able dishes found in Metro Vancouver.
1. Ebo Restaurant’s Sundae Surprise for 2
Delta Hotel’s Ebo Restaurant serves up a unique dessert: a giant chocolate globe packed with treats (ice cream, sorbet, pop rocks, candied almonds, honeycomb, jelly, rice krispies, brownies, and strawberries). The presentation is an experience: hot coconut sauce is poured over the sphere, melting the chocolate and revealing the goods inside.
