"The intimate and aptly named CRU, with chef Alana Peckham's smart flavor sensibility and sommelier Mark Taylor's pairing savvy, has become a Vancouver wine mecca in the tony South Granville neighborhood. Caesar salad here has been elevated to an art form---a quick grilling imparts a hint of smoke and the croutons are made to order. The duo may just have the best duck confit in town---crackling skin outside with a hint of vinegar balances the rich meaty flavor. "
