Tap & Barrel - Burgers, Beer, Salad

They recently opened up a location in Coal Harbour so Gastrofork, Foodology, Food Queen, Foodobyte, and I decided to hit it up and give it a try.  They serve a variety of pub food like deep fried pickles, salads, burgers, and sandwiches.

Golden Paramount Seafood Restaurant- Deep Fried Deliciousness

Golden Paramount Seafood Restaurant is located in Richmond on Park Road near Happy Date and iHop. The exterior looks a bit run down but the inside is a whole different story. It looks bright, clean, and pleasantly inviting. I've never been to this restaurant before but it seems to be quite well known among Richmondites. The Pan Fried Oysters with Soya Sauce were recommended on Urbanspoon so we gave it a try. The oysters were delicious...
