Fiddlehead Joe's began with the story of a little boy, selling wild fiddleheads. That boy was co-owner Joe Ennis, who ran a fiddlehead stand in Nova Scotia by the same name. Call him sentimental. He now sells fiddlehead soup at his smart little eatery along the False Creek seawall.
Lunch includes panini, gourmet sandwiches and pizzas as well as some daily creations.
The dinner menu changes weekly and the specials, daily. For dessert, press your nose to the glass case and survey the choices. The big sellers are the personal three-inch cheesecakes and the cr me caramel. The wine list features 24 wines by the glass, more than expected of a small place like this. Dinner draws the bonhomie of locals and on Thursday nights, there's live jazz.
