1. Naan Bites
They have stuffed Naan. Enough said.
Thanks to Janice F for this Queensborough joint. After a terrible experience at the Wok Box, I was in desperate hunt to find solid lunch options.
Who doesn't like fresh, soft naan? I never seen a place do stuffed…More »
2. Crepe Des Amis
New Westminster, BC V3M 6B9
(604) 528-8925
Categories:
Creperies,
Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt,
Coffee & Tea
Great mom and pop creperie in the evolving River Market at the Quay.
Crepes are usually overrated. Kind of like having disappointing pancakes (though waffles are still king). But this place dishes out good ones.
The owner and the girl working at the…More »
3. Save On Meats
Vancouver, BC V6B 1G4
(604) 569-3568
Unreal deals on supreme quality meat. Unbeatable value on classic diner food.
Let's start off with the meat. Sunday's mean 15% OFF all roasts. Buddy spots a sexy 4lb Rib Eye Roast. The king of beef cuts in my opinion. Price? Only $25. I'm pretty sure…More »
4. Brunchbox
Portland, OR 97204

(503) 477-3286
Categories:
Food Stands,
Burgers,
American (Traditional)
Neighbourhoods: Southwest Portland, Downtown
Portland. The mecca of food carts. Brunchbox is a box worth touching.
Sadly, on the weekends only a few foodcarts were open when we went foodcart hunting. Luckily Brunchbox was alive and kicking. Their menu design is how it should be for all food…More »
5. La Taqueria Pinche Taco Shop
If you don't know, 'Pinche' is Mexican for 'f*cking'. Pinche delicious tacos is what this place serves up.
This new location is the more attractive (but equally delicious) sister of the original Hastings location. Located a hop skip across from the…More »
6. Aladdins Shawerma Cafe - CLOSED
Vancouver, BC V6Z
(778) 881-7916
Category:
Middle Eastern
Neighbourhoods: Downtown, Granville Entertainment District
High energy service rolling up some decent falafels.
When faced with the munchies at 2:30am downtown, options are limited. You got the temptations of Ronald McD, pizza slingers and fries with mayo. With these picks probably ending up being a bad idea,…More »
7. Kitstaya Sushi
Vancouver, BC V6K 2G9
(604) 737-0181
Category:
Sushi Bars
Neighbourhood: Kitsilano
All-day bento boxes for only $7.95? Helluva deal.
One of the many non-Japanese sushi joints, this place isn't the best quality sushi but wins big on its value.
Thinking the bento box wouldn't fill our starving sushi stomachs, we both ordered an…More »
8. Kedah House Restaurant
Vancouver, BC V5P 2R6
(604) 325-9771
Pure accidental lunch find. Tired of my usual lunch go-to spots near my work, I was looking for a Greek place but spotted their sign $9.99 AYCE Malaysian buffet. Pulled right in.
Kind of a poor location with minimal foot traffic, you'd only know it's…More »
9. Uncle Fatih's Pizza
Vancouver, BC V5N 1V9
(604) 707-0744
Category:
Pizza
Neighbourhoods: Grandview-Woodlands, The Drive, Kensington-Cedar Cottage
Maybe I'm dyslectic, but up until a few months ago I always thought Uncle Fatih's was Uncle FAITH's. Anyhow, this is my favorite place to stop for Pizza. Located very near Commercial/Broadway station, you can get 2 slices and a pop for $4 incl tax…More »
10. The Re-Up BBQ
Vancouver, BC V6Z 2H7

Categories:
Food Stands,
Barbeque,
Sandwiches
Neighbourhood: Downtown
Pulled pork. If it 'aint messy, it 'aint right.
Unless I'm just blind, there isn't a heck of lot of decent eats around the downtown core (Robson Square). Being temporarily booted from their spot by the VAG (always a chuckle when I see this…More »
11. Bon's Off Broadway
Vancouver, BC V5N 5E5
(604) 253-7242
Categories:
Breakfast & Brunch,
Canadian (Traditional)
Neighbourhoods: Grandview-Woodlands, Hastings-Sunrise
Cheap breakfast the way it should be. Kept hearing about their $2.95 all day breakfast special and finally tried it. We waited a long time, but for that price and the portion size, you can't complain. Good old cheap, greasy eatings.
12. House of Dosas
Vancouver, BC V5V 3E3
(604) 875-1283
Category:
Indian
Neighbourhood: Kensington-Cedar Cottage
Chicken 65. What the heck could that be? With a name like that you just gotta order it to find out.
What came was magical. Seasoned with an unknown array of spices and served with a perfectly matching sauce, Chicken 65 is 65 degrees of savoury…More »
13. Stepho's Souvlaki Greek Taverna
Maybe not the best Greek, but for the price you pay, you get a ton! I always go for the roast lamb, always delicious! The only negative is the infamous line up, probably the only restaurant in BC that have people waiting outside every day. Servers…More »
14. Hawkers Delight Deli
Vancouver, BC V5V 3P6
(604) 709-8188
Categories:
Malaysian,
Singaporean
Neighbourhood: Riley Park
One of the best things I love about traveling is street food. Stepping into this place makes you feel like you're in one of those food stalls in Asia (minus the higher probability of diarrhea).
They didn't have satay available the day I went. I opted…More »
15. Café Deux Soleils
Vancouver, BC V5N 4B2

Categories:
Coffee & Tea,
Vegetarian,
Breakfast & Brunch
Neighbourhoods: Grandview-Woodlands, The Drive
My good friend from Sweden is vegetarian so I thought we'd try this place out. I had their veggie burger was was spectacular! Inside it had tofu steaks, the veggie 'meat', alfalfa sprouts, pineapple and maybe i missed something. The taste was unreal.…More »
16. La Taqueria
Vancouver, BC V6B 1K6
(604) 568-4406
Category:
Mexican
Neighbourhood: Downtown
Based on the super positive Yelp reviews, I took a shot at this place tonight.
Initially we walked passed the place as they didn't have the sandwich board out, but anyhow. Walking in we were greeted by the friendly owner. Small place with stool…More »
17. Famous Warehouse
Vancouver, BC V6Z 1L2
(604) 677-8080
Category:
Pubs
Neighbourhoods: Downtown, Granville Entertainment District
$4.95 for all food items on Granville St? Are they crazy? Last time I checked, McD's was more expensive.
I set the bar low walking in to this place. $4.95 must mean absolute crap food that takes longer than Bon's right? Surprisingly not.
We ordered…More »
18. Uncle Fatihs Pizza
To this day I still think 'Uncle Faith' before correcting myself to 'Uncle Fatih'.
I'm excited to see the Uncle grow his pizza awesomeness to this 4th location. I was worried that quality would suffer with this growth, but luckily not.
Is it as good as…More »
