1. Salt Tasting Room
Vancouver, BC V6B 1A4
(604) 633-1912
Categories:
Wine Bars,
Tapas/Small Plates
Neighbourhoods: Downtown, Gastown
Oh Salt, you savoury sodium centre, you. I adore your cured meats and cheesy goodness. Your wine pairings make my toes wiggle with delight, and I find your handwritten chalkboard menus irresistibly charming.
I think you may have even had me in mind…More »
2. Marquis Wine Cellars
Vancouver, BC V6E 1M3
(604) 684-0445
Category:
Beer, Wine & Spirits
Neighbourhood: West End
I love wine, but buying it can sometimes be tricky. Constantly on the lookout for a new kind to try, I find asking for wine recommendations at most BC Liquor stores about as useful as asking the busker outside The Bay what espresso machine he'd…More »
3. Chill Winston
Vancouver, BC V6A 1B2
(604) 288-9575
Category:
Lounges
Neighbourhoods: Downtown, Gastown
Okay, okay -- Chill out, Winston. You've done it. You've changed my mind.
I don't know who's been doing the hiring here lately, but it's a *massive* -- srsly, for real HUGE -- improvement on the servers, bartenders and hosts of the past. Suddenly,…More »

Soooo... I'm paying for the patio? That must be it, because it couldn't be for the puny glass(es) of… Read more »
4. Agro Café
Vancouver, BC V6H 4G9
(604) 669-0724
Category:
Coffee & Tea
Neighbourhood: Granville Island/False Creek
Don't tempt me with a glass of wine in place of a cup of coffee, because unless we're in some ungodly hour of the morning, the wine will undoubtedly prevail. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, but when I'm trying to get the kind of work done that…More »
5. The Whip Restaurant Gallery
Vancouver, BC V5T 1J7
(604) 874-4687
Categories:
Bars,
Canadian (Traditional)
Neighbourhood: Mount Pleasant
A go-to place to meet up with friends, the Whip has a something to offer pretty much everyone I'm with on any particular occasion. The atmosphere has plenty of energy but is still super chill, and despite the multiple changes in ownership over the…More »
6. Foundation
I stand by my 4 stars, but have to say that I finally received my first plate of burnt nachos. It happens to us all folks, just eat around it and all will be fine.

I'm going to just go right ahead and say it: the first time I ate at Foundation I had no idea it was… Read more »

Category:
Beer, Wine & Spirits
Neighbourhood: West End
Oh Store 233, my friendly neighbourhood liquor vendor you. Your selection is vast, your staff is friendly, your shoplifters are shirtless and entertaining, you carry my favourite French wines and Scottish whiskeys. You are clean and only faintly…More »
8. CinCin Ristorante + Bar
They serve gluten-free bread and pasta. Best, best, best. Full stop. Best.

Local Flavour
Neighbourhood: Downtown
Top secret information: I only go here to get away from the Robson insanity. Once I walk up those steps, I'm a thousand miles from any stress-related agoraphobia and am fully enjoying my liquid lunch.
Unfortunately, escapism and liquid lunches are…More »
10. Denman Place Wines
Vancouver, BC V6G 2M4
(604) 633-1863
Category:
Beer, Wine & Spirits
Neighbourhood: West End
They may not have the biggest wine selection in the city, but those they do carry are by far some of my favourites. And if they don't happen to have my favourite chenin blanc, the staff will suggest something just as good. They know their wine, they…More »

Modern European
Neighbourhoods: Downtown, Granville Entertainment District
Let's think about this for a moment, shall we? I'm not a Granville kinda girl. I'm just not. I don't like being herded into one specific area of a city to do all of my drinking, fooding, wining and dining. Entertainment district, my ass. You know…More »
12. Boneta Restaurant
Vancouver, BC V6B 1A5
(604) 684-1844
You know those places you just love so much that you find it hard to put into words? Or worse, you fear that once you do put it into words it will all seem too gushy, too mushy, too much? That's how I feel about Boneta. Cozy without being quaint,…More »
13. Legacy Liquor Store
Vancouver, BC V5Y 0B8
(604) 331-7900
Category:
Beer, Wine & Spirits
Neighbourhood: Granville Island/False Creek
Welp, I guess that's it. I suppose this is the end of the liquor line for me.
THEY HAVE MANLY LEATHER RELAXING CHAIRS IN THE WHISKEY ROOM, PEOPLE.
From wine to whiskey to bourbon to beer, Legacy not only runs the gamut for liquor selection in this…More »
14. Au Petit Chavignol

Cheese Shops
Neighbourhood: Downtown Eastside
Cheese, cheese, cheese, WINE. Cheese, cheese, cheese, MEAT. Cheese, cheese, cheese, MORE WINE.
This about sums my experience at Au Petit Chavignol. Lots o' cheese, a little cured meat, and a *very* decent amount of wine. But the good stuff doesn't end…More »
