Joe Fortes Seafood & Chop House @ West End
Food: 4/5 Service: 4/5 Atmosphere: 4/5 Price: Avg. $45/person
Happy surprise lunch! We walked down home 10 minutes to Robson direction but I did not know where we were heading to until hubby stopped at Joe Fortes. Yahhh! Hubby made reservation in advance so no waiting time was needed. Joe Fortes, a famous seafood and steakhouse restaurant located on Thurlow Street DT. This place was great and the weekend brunch was delicious, my stomach was very satisfied. Do not forget to try their bread serving with their signature lobster oil, it's upon request.
st-germain, cucumber syrup, fresh lemon, sparkling wine (back)
Chanel @ $9
elysium black muscat, cassis, sparkling wine (front)
Drinks were refreshing but no special.
Bread serving upon request.
What's so special the bread serving? It's the lobster oil with the wine vinegar which was the small dish that looked like chili oil on the picture. The taste was very distinctive and impressively good! Do not worry it did not smell fishy at all; actually the aroma was so good. Felt like I consumed a lot of omega 3, LOL.

Oyster Rockerfeller @ $16.95
local oysters, spinach, pernod, hollandaise
The oysters were baked perfectly with the creamy and rich hollandaise sauce. Baking time was just about right so the oysters did not shrink at all. The sauce did not cover the natural flavors of the oysters. Absolutely delicious.
Giant and fatty oysters, thumbs up!
Joe's Signature Benny @ $ 15.95

Wild mushrooms, prosciutto, truffle sage hollandaise
Benny for Hubby. It was very flavorful with the wild mushrooms and prosciuto.

Mushroom and leek white wine cream sauce, poached eggs, hollandaise
Benny for myself. Medium poached eggs were cooked perfectly, absolutely delicious with the lobster meats. One of the best lobster benny I have had!
The prices are on the higher end but you do get what you pay for. Great and attentive service. The seafood dishes were amazing. Joe Fortes has a wide selection of seafood and steak on the menu, heard lots of raving comments on the Buck-a-shuck and Happy Hour too. Joe Fortes, see you soon!
