1. Fairhaven Fish and Chips
Who would believe that the some of the tastiest fish and chips you could ever hope to eat anywhere would be found on an old red double decker bus in the Fairhaven neighborhood of Bellingham.
The location is perfect. The bus itself is the kitchen and…More »
2. Taylor Shellfish Farms
From all the research I did, much of the oysters for Washington restaurants seems to come from this farm, so it seemed like a no-brainer to come and buy directly from the source. Once we were there, we of course went crazy and bought way more than we…More »
3. Vij's Rangoli
Vancouver, BC V6H 1L1
Canada
(604) 736-5711
Category:
Indian
Neighbourhoods: Fairview Slopes, South Granville
I've never been to India although I did see Slumdog Millionaire so I know what I'm talking about, but I have eaten a few very good Indian dinners in London which could almost be renamed India 2.0 in certain neighborhoods and they didn't come close to…More »
4. Parker Place Meat & B.B.Q
Richmond, BC V6X 3V7
Canada
(604) 233-1138
Categories:
Meat Shops,
Barbeque
Neighbourhood: Golden Village
Right before we stopped for the "best wonton soup in Canada" at McNoodles, we had to make a quick stop for the "best roast pork this side of Hong Kong". My father in law is nothing if not a master of hyperbole, and when he finds something he enjoys…More »
5. Granville Island Public Market
Vancouver, BC V6H 3S3
Canada
(604) 666-6477
Categories:
Grocery,
Fruits & Veggies
Neighbourhood: Granville Island/False Creek
If there's one thing I wish we had here in Los Angeles, it would be a market like this Public Market. San Francisco has a nice version, and of course Pikes Place is probably where they based this from but this is the best of them all. There's…More »
6. McNoodle House
Richmond, BC V6X 1C3
Canada
(604) 231-8141
Category:
Chinese
Neighbourhood: Golden Village
Obviously being married into a Chinese family, I eat lots and lots of Chinese food so even though being gweilo makes my opinion suspect, I've had my fair share of all types of asian food to develop a decent taste for the cuisine.
Father in law raved…More »
7. Lychee Buffet - CLOSED
Not being a fan of buffets of any kind, I wasn't really looking forward to this but my father in law was determined. I have to admit to being rather surpised, this is an odd combination of old American 70's style Chinese food and traditional Chinese…More »
8. The Butchart Gardens
Brentwood Bay, BC V8M 1J8
Canada
(250) 652-4422
Categories:
Parks,
Botanical Gardens
A stunning garden that takes some effort and money to get to. In the first place it's on Vancouver Island which costs and arm and a leg to get to, since the only ways in are by ferry or by plane. We're failry spoiled here in the LA area, as there are…More »
9. Miniature World
Wonderfully whimsical and incredibely cheesy all within a few steps of each other, this was a giant winner with out two year old daughter and many of the exhibits brought a smile to the face of the adults as well.
Some of the displays are only…More »
10. Shiro's
Seattle, WA 98121
(206) 443-9844
Categories:
Sushi Bars,
Japanese
Neighbourhood: Belltown
To truly appreciate sushi, you really need to be able to take cost out of the equation. This makes it difficult for most of us in the real world to be objective about what we are eating, because the best of the best costs you your arm, leg, liver and…More »
