1. Delicias de Alicia
What a surprise! Loved it!
How could I not love this place? I don't know Cuban cuisine, but when we walked in the door we were greeted by Alicia, one of the owners. With a HUGE grin on her face she welcomed us to her restaurant. We felt like we were…More »
2. Transylvania Traditions Bakery
Yum!
I love my deserts. Some times I love my deserts too much. And when I die and go to desert heaven, I'm hoping that most of the deserts at Transylvania Traditions are there.
We've tried pretty much everything here. The Sunshine Romania Orange cream…More »
3. Transylvania Flavour Restaurant
Vancouver, BC V6K
(604) 730-0880
Category:
Modern European
Neighbourhood: Kitsilano
There's nothing better than this place on a cold wet winter evening.
I stumbled across Transylvania Flavour while waiting for a bus at Broadway and Arbutus. You could easily miss it. Now we and our friends make it a regular stop.
The owners are a…More »
4. El Comal
Heaven off the beaten path
You will need persistence to get there. A GPS might help. El Comal is not really a restaurant, it's a plant where they make some of the best corn tortillas north of Mexico. But they do have a small deli, with extremely…More »
5. Cobre

Latin American
Neighbourhoods: Downtown, Gastown
I think I'm in love . . .
Cobre, you have been on my bookmark list for months. Even though I don't usually like tapas, there was something different about you. But today, finally, our first date. And from the moment we met, I knew I was in love.
You…More »
6. Ukrainian Village
Cabbage Rolls, Perogies, some of my favorites.
We love the Ukrainian Village! We've been begging Vladimir and Tatjana to move the restaurant to Burnaby so we can dine here more often. It's a cozy little place near the corner of Robson and Denman.
I…More »
7. Lhy Thai Restaurant
After eating at Lhy Thai, everywhere else Thai is a pale second best.
We've tried pretty much every Thai restaurant in Vancouver. I have yet to find a restaurant that provides such exceptional food at excellent value. We are always disappointed when…More »

It doesn't look like much from the outside but this is by far the best Thai food I've found anywhere… Read more »

Breakfast & Brunch
Neighbourhoods: Downtown, Granville Entertainment District
Brunch rocks!
This time we stopped for brunch, and were equally impressed. At 10:30 AM Sunday we had about a 40 minute wait for a table. Tables for four people are somewhat cramped, but the same exceptional service and great options for food. I loved…More »

Wow! Wow! And did I mention wow?
I remember when most of Granville Street was a bit sketchy and worth… Read more »
9. The William Tell Restaurant
Fine dining experience at a reasonable price.
What is with these people giving the restaurant so-so reviews because it's not a fast food restaurant or because they only went for drinks and thought the bartender was poor? It's not Burger King or a…More »
10. Savary Island Pie Company

Neighbourhood: Ambleside
I wish we lived closer . . . sooo good
Working in West Vancouver for a week, I was able to try some new lunch spots, and Savary Island was one I stumbled upon on my way to my original lunch destination.
Chicken Pot Pie - wow. Made from local…More »
11. Asian Le
Great food, family run business.
We first encountered the owners of this business when they owned a small restaurant in the town of Rosthern, an hour out of town. They were extremely successful there, and decided to move to the larger community of…More »
12. The Magnolia Hotel & Spa
Beautiful rooms, excellent service, I don't want to go home!
Without question my favourite Victoria hotel. I have stayed for both business and pleasure. If it offered good views of the harbour I'd have to convince Yelp to add a sixth star.
Rooms are…More »
13. The Teahouse Restaurant
Excellent views, great service, terrific food!
I was looking for a place with a great location, great view, and great food to take friends from out of town for brunch, I made reservations at The Teahouse. I had never been there before, but the Yelp…More »
14. Wildflower Grill
Wow! What a find!
Easy to miss, this restaurant is a hidden gem. Definitely pricey, but Wildflower Grill delivers some amazing food. Everything from the baked brioche to start the meal, to the Peppercorn Herb-Crusted Bison Tenderloin served with a…More »

Rooms with a View (7)You might forgive these places if they lack a bit in food or service - in my mind, their views rock. |
Wall of shame . . . (3)Run away! Run away quickly! |
Breakfast & Brunch (7)I'm not a morning person, so my list of morning places grows slowly. Keep checking back - I'm on a mission to find the ultimate brunch. It might just take a while. |
Where we go when we're looking for "comfort food" (5)We've pretty much memorized these menus.Sometimes we want to get out, adventure and try new places. Other times, we just want something familiar and comforting. These are our all time favorite "not into trying something new" places. |
Eating Mexican in Vancouver (8)I'm always looking for the best Mexican cuisine Vancouver has to offer. Here's some of the places I've tried. You won't find funky tex-mex Lolitas or Carambas here. Some are good, others not so much. But they are a taste of Mexico. |
