The hottest place to be this morning.

Richmond’s House of Dawn has launched a set menu worthy of an extended lunch hour. Chef James Yang’s steakhouse in an unassuming shopping plaza has quietly become one of the most upscale dining rooms in Richmond, and the new three-course prix-fixe lunch menu is the latest reason to make a reservation.

Available daily from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., the $70 menu opens with your choice of Burrata from Puglia, Wagyu Tartare, Foie Gras Parfait, or Lobster Bisque with a half butter-poached tail. Mains range from an Iberico Tomahawk to Asian-spiced Ora King Salmon to a Summer Corn Risotto. A classic Crème Brûlée to close things out.

It’s a proper unrushed sit-down lunch in a room that takes its craft seriously.

Vancouver is gearing up for FIFA World Cup 2026 and Science World is at the centre of it all, quite literally! ⚽️

Starting with the dome itself: Science World is being transformed into “The Beautiful Dome,” a 360-degree recreation of the adidas Trionda, the official FIFA World Cup 2026 match ball. Made up of 131 custom-shaped panels across a 40-metre diameter, the installation is anticipated to be complete in early June and will be one of the defining visual landmarks of the tournament in Vancouver.

Inside, Soccer & Technology from the FIFA Museum is now open through September 7, 2026, offering a deep dive into the innovations that power the modern game across five sections: Broadcasting and Media, Intelligent Data, Refereeing and Fair Play, Staging the Game, and an Innovation Lab.

From the first camera to broadcast a World Cup match in 1954 to today’s drone footage and connected ball technology, the exhibition traces how innovation has shaped the way soccer is played, officiated, and experienced, without ever replacing the human skill and emotion at its heart.

Highlights include the field-side VAR monitor used at the FIFA Club World Cup 2025, the adidas Trionda match ball fitted with its FIFA World Cup 2026 motion sensor, and objects from Canada’s recent football history, including Christine Sinclair’s jersey from Canada’s Olympic gold-medal win, the match ball from Canada vs. Croatia at Qatar 2022, and Atiba Hutchinson’s captain’s jersey.
