Mo:Le Restaurant, Victoria

The Mo:Le view from Pandora Ave
 Straight from their website:

 

"Made with Love...

 Born of a longtime frienship, and a desire to serve excellent food to friends, foodies, hipsters, families, retirees and everyone in between, Mo:Lé Restaurant has grown from a simple eatery into an institution in just a few years.

When seasonally possible we source from local and organic farms, Mo:Lé serves creative and lovingly prepared food, made for all tastes and eating philosophies (vegans and raw foodies included)"

 When a friend from Vancouver suggested we try this place, we jumped at the chance to try this delicious looking local restaurant located on Pandora in downtown Victoria. The All-Day breakfast restaurants always appeal to me, since I believe breakfast is obviously the best meal of the day! 

  I started out with the obvious, a Super Caesar traditionally made with added zing including horseradish and lime. Garnished with all sorts of pickled heaven.


The Super Caesar! Pickled beets, beans and asparagus. Tickles my fancy.
This was a phenomenal caesar. Perfectly garnished with the most PERFECT amount of horseradish (not as easy to balance as it sounds). It makes a great drink/appetizer prior to an amazing breakfast. 

The all-day breakfast menu is extensive you have a TON of options that will appeal to even the pickiest of eaters.

All Day breakfast menu
  • Build your own breakfast 
  • Sweet stuff (granola, pancakes, oatmeal)
  • Scrambles and bennies
Being a HUGE fan of eggs benny, I had to give one of their bennies a try. I decided on the Mo:Le benny with 2 medium poached free run eggs on a house made buttermilk biscuit topped with some amazing smoky paprika bechamel sauce with grilled tomato and avocado.
The vegetarian Mo:Le benny with grilled tomato! 




You have the option of a side of pesto hashbrowns, fresh fruit or green salad. I went with the fresh fruit, to complete this delicious plate. 

Mo:Le has a huge variety of vegan, vegetarian and gluten-free meals to choose from as well as meat dishes for the carnivores.

Prawning in Nanaimo

Image
Between Piper's Lagoon and Neck Point Park in Nanaimo   Since prawning is open year round (in most areas always check the BC Sport Fishing Guide to learn of possible closures in your area) my dad and I decided to brave the unpredictable winter weather and head out just off of Neck Point Park to drop some prawn traps.   There are actually 6 species of shrimp/prawns that thrive off the British Columbia coast, but we were after the largest of the species; the local spot prawn. Large females can exceed 23 cm in total length! You can tell a spot prawn by 3 distinct white horizontal bars on their head area and two white spots on their first and fifth abdominal segment. Prawns are male in their second and third year, then becomes female in the third or fourth year, eggs can be found on the underside of their abdomen Oct - March. For conservation purposes it is suggested that these egg bearing prawns be returned to the ocean.   the local spot prawn with it's distinct
