The style of cuisine at Nu has definite French\/European influences and a west-coast twist. The decor is space-age, the atmosphere is light hearted, and the patrons are stylish!<\/p>\n<p>Nu Restaurant is located right out on the water on the north\/downtown side of False Creek, underneath the Granville Bridge. There is ample free parking available in a lot shared with the <a href=\"http:\/\/letsgofordinner.com\/Vancouver.cfm?detail=84\">Stonegrill<\/a> restaurant (another restaurant worth visiting which is located in the same building, one floor above Nu).<\/p>\n<p>To start, I enjoyed the Pan Seared Bayne Sound Scallops, with pickled mushrooms, cauliflower puree, and red wine jus ($16.10, pictured below). The scallops were really tender and tasted great! As a main course, I tried the Roasted Cornish Game Hen with smoked local gouda, braised swiss chard, wild BC mushrooms, and rich chicken jus ($26.10, also pictured below). The serving of Game Hen was fabulous, with a really prime cut of meat and a great combination of the cheese, mushrooms, rich jus and vegetables.  I finished off this fantastic meal with a Passion Fruit Sponge Cake ($7.90, pictured below) which was light and refreshing.<\/p>\n<p>The restaurant also features live jazz for Sunday brunch with Juno nominee <a href=\"http:\/\/profile.myspace.com\/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&amp;friendID=159837619\">Melody Diachun<\/a>. Please call the restaurant (604-646-4668) for more info about the live music, or check out their <a href=\"http:\/\/www.whatisnu.com\/\">web site<\/a> for their menu.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.dineouthere.com\/images\/nu-restaurant-01.jpg\" alt=\"Fresh scallops at Nu Restaurant in Yaletown, Vancouver\" width=\"690\" height=\"460\" \/>Pan Seared Bayne Sound Scallops ($16.10) at Nu Restaurant in Vancouver<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.dineouthere.com\/images\/nu-restaurant-02.jpg\" alt=\"Cornish Game Hen at Nu Restaurant in Vancouver\" width=\"690\" height=\"460\" \/>Cornish Game Hen at Nu Restaurant in Vancouver ($26.10)<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.dineouthere.com\/images\/nu-restaurant-03.jpg\" alt=\"Passion Fruit Sponge Cake at Nu Restaurant in Vancouver, BC, Canada\" width=\"690\" height=\"440\" \/>Passion Fruit Sponge Cake at Nu Restaurant in Vancouver, BC, Canada ($7.90)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nu Restaurant (web site, 1661 Granville Street, Vancouver, BC, Canada, phone: 604-646-4668) is an award winning Vancouver waterfront restaurant with fabulous views and upscale, modern food.
