Dining at Joe Forte's Makes You Feel Like a Star

For a truly spectacular way to start your meal, do as Billy Joel has been know to do and order the three-tiered Seafood Tower on ice. Fashioned after a French specialty, this show-stopping tower of seafood makes a dramatic presentation that will impress your friends. Filled with an array of succulent seafood, it's like a mini buffet right at your own table. And, if you're an oyster fan, you'll be pleased to know that Joe Fortes has been voted as Vancouver's Best Oyster Bar. Fish lovers can enjoy not just the catch of the day, but a choice of 10 different fish, chosen from 140 varieties of fish offered each year at Joe Fortes. And, if you're an oyster lover, you'll be glad to know that this restaurant offers 42 varieties of oysters available throughout the year.

But you don't have to like seafood to enjoy Joe Forte's Restaurant. From Grilled Rack of Pork Ribs to a custom, hand-cut steak in the size you want, you have plenty of menu options. But do save room for their spectacular desserts. How could you pass up Maple Walnut Baked Alaska, freshly made sorbets or the Decadence Platter for Two. While it's nice to be tucked away in a cozy booth, it's also fun to experience the American brasserie atmosphere at the massive horseshoe bar-or even dine in the more intimate upstairs and look down on all the action. And, in summer, the Joe's Roof Garden is a pleasant natural setting.

Is Joe Fortes the owner? No, Joe, a burly seaman from Barbados, is a local historical icon. Proprietor Bud Kanke named this restaurant after this bartender and lifeguard, whose is said to have saved numerous lives from drowning--in the water, not at the bar. If he were alive today, he'd love the friendly, star-studded atmosphere at the restaurant that bears his name. If you live in Vancouver, your lucky. If not, plan to enjoy the Joe Forte's experience when you visit.

Joe Forte's Restaurant is located at 777 Thorlow Street, Vancouver, B.C. For more information, call 1-877-669-JOES, or visit http://www.joefortes.ca/frames.html
