2025-05 - what's in a name?

“In Greek mythology, the moon goddess Selene is the personification of the moon. She is said to drive her moon chariot across the sky every night.”

Visited Selene with H for our anniversary dinner last month. What a great little hidden gem, tucked behind all the construction currently causing congesting on Hastings St.

We had their tasting menu, which was $80 per person. Sadly I did not take notes on what each dish was, but they were literally all perfectly delicious. Here’s the scallops with some fresh bread and olives: 

My favourite was the Greek salad with marinated tomatoes. I recently learned that tomato skin easily peels off when tomatoes are immersed in cold water, and then hot water. 

Some seafood, octopus… thing. I can’t remember a thing, I was really tired and pregnant. :) 

Lamb chops. Usually, they have a beef dish, but H does not beef, so they switched it up for us. +10 points for providing accommodating service: 

Dessert was just OK, but I’m getting so picky with food these days. H liked it, especially the complimentary chai ice cream. Happy anniversary to us, as we enter into the 6th year of marriage, and expecting our 3rd child. 

Might be a good name for a 3rd kid.
