DELICIOUSNESS

The One Sixty is calling you

A random night turned date night turned out to be the highlight of my week so far. It’s been a while since I had been to The One Sixty, and they’ve made such strides since opening last spring. Here’s my review:

Ordered: Coconut calamari, burrata, seared Arctic char, braised beef and broccolini, and lemon curd tart.

Staff: Super friendly.

Food: Great, I’m still thinking about those beef cheeks and gnocchi. Dessert could use a shake up though.

Price: Definitely on the pricier end (we ordered a la carte).

I’ve heard weekends are busy so do yourself a favour and go on a weeknight.

They’re also running a bunch of promos – Taste of the Tri-Cities (on now until March 10), date night every Tuesday, 30% off bottles of wine on Wednesdays, roast beef Thursdays, and happy hour on Friday to Sunday.

If you’ve never been, head to Port Moody and check this place out.

IN PARTNERSHIP WITH NAAN CLUB

We’ve been fans of Naan Club since they opened last year and brought a modern take on Indian food to Coquitlam.

Located off Lougheed, near the Cactus Club, Superstore, and Cineplex, they landed a convenient location with food that’ll make you coming back for more.

ETC special: We’ve teamed up with Naan Club to make sure every Tri-Cities local can try them out!

All throughout March, mention Eat Tri-Cities when you’re dining in and get 15% off your bill. It’s that simple!

Let us know if you go, we’d love to know what you tried!
