A New Latitude

The owners of the acclaimed RainCoast Café in Tofino have moved back to
the big city and brought some of the Islands best seafood with them.

Latitude is
the name of their stylish new resto located at Main and 16th. Dressed by
the same interior designers behind other Main-stays The Cascade Room and
Habit, the space is replete with clean lines of wood, concrete and
marble that breeds an atmosphere of relaxed cool. Like the vibe, the
food is smooth on the palate. We devoured both small plates we
orderedthe Socca stuffed with hand-peeled shrimp, sautéed greens,
avocado crema and radish sprouts ($11), and scallops on masa pancakes
with fresh cut guacamole ($11)and plan to return for the signature dish
of duck breast with chocolate orange pan sauce, sweet potato flan and
chayote squash ($19).

If real latitude is what youre after, its 49 15′ 22" N.
