One word you’re likely to hear describing Blue Pear Bistro is “playful.” The place has tackled chicken nuggets, French fries and hot dogs (their take on Vancouver-style Japadog came strapped with nori, grilled Napa cabbage and wasabi mayo), but its true bistro-style offerings—things like slow-roasted lamb shoulder, saffron-scented mussels and heavenly braised short ribs—are outstanding.

From 2008:

They’re called small plates at Blue Pear Bistro, but we like ’em just the same. Try convincing yourself of the health benefits of bacon and egg salad—it is salad, after all—with a fried soft-boiled egg and pork belly over greens and a medley of beans. We also loved the fall menu item of flakey mushroom crepes with Swiss chard and pickled chanterelle mushrooms.
