Six Acres is in Gastown, Vancouver - and after a very chilly stroll on our first night in town, Mike, Jamie and I were extremely glad to sneak into its dark, warm, funky candlelit interior.
The extrerior is modest, even discreet, and the interior is understated cool - with exposed piping and dark brickwork (forgot to take photo...oops) and the menus set inside classic vintage childrens' story books.
The staff were uber cool (funky hair, well dressed etc) but luckily also friendly, and the dining is tapas style, and was...simply fabulous! A huge beer, wine, cider, cocktail and whisky selection kept us happy while we smashed down foods.

We almost missed these gorgeous little guys (left) as they were called 'sliders' - which of course meant nothing to us. Luckily we spied another diner with the tiny little (about 2 inch diameter) burgers and we worked it out. We got the vego version - with cheddar. JB had an amusing moment where he completely freaked out about forgetting to order cheddar on our sliders (I've coaxed his cheese addiction along well)...which wasn't a problem really as we hadn't yet ordered at all. Delicious little guys, and so fun to eat something so tiny!
This was the best nicoise salad any od us had ever had - organic eggs, rare local salmon, organic baby potatos, fresh leaves and a light balsamic dressing. Delish!
Ok...this may be one of my favourite meals EVER - it was a little dip of gorgonzola and garlic - basically a tiny fondue in a bowl. It was creamy, warm and piquant - deliciously flavoured with the stong cheese but not too stinky. I was in heaven and the lads were not overwhelmed. There were big soft chunks of garlic too - which was LUSH. The toasted bread was the perfect complement, but so was the salad, the burgers, the mac cheese...and scooping it straight from the bowl was divine too. I could feel my pants getting tighter while I smashed it down, so I tried very hard to stop, but failed. I figured I'd need the extra energy due to the cold any

Mac cheese. Al dente macaroni elbows. Gruyere. Parmesan. Cream. Cheedar. Cheesy bread crumb topping. Enough said. I could have eaten 5 of them and had to force self to remember it's not polite to hoover up all of the shared food to oneself. I wish I had ordered it secretly though and eaten it in the toilets.
We had various ales with dinner, and if it needed anything to make it even better, those ales fit the bill.
Cheap as chips too - $6-8 for gourmet beers (the same ones you'd pay $11+ for in Aus) and the foods were also well priced.
Six Acres...yeah, go there. It's fantastic.
