Communal Table Love
See All Lists
1. Motomachi Shokudo
Ramen. To some it's a cheap sodium-filled memory of their youth; to most (who shall be known as the lucky ones) it is the perfect comfort food made with the freshest noodles to be eaten on a rainy day. But to me, ramen isn't ramen without one crucial…More »
2. The Irish Heather
Vancouver, BC V6B 2J2
(604) 688-9779
Categories:
Irish,
Gastropubs
Neighbourhoods: Downtown, Gastown
Last minute change of venue with 30 people in tow? No problem, says the Irish Heather. What about if we bring in Jenga to crash on the concrete floor? Also fine, apparently. A communal table all to ourselves, the nicest server in the house and great…More »

Communal table! MASSIVE scotch list! Bangers and mash!

3. Sushi Mart

Sushi Bars,
Japanese
Neighbourhood: West End
In a city full of amazing sushi joints, these guys win. Full stop.
Since opening in 2009, Sushi Mart has been my go-to place for a quick and tasty meal. It's everything I want in a restaurant - fresh, delicious, clean, cheap, and literally right…More »
4. 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 »
5. Alibi Room
For a chill place to meet up with friends, Alibi is perfect. Phenomenal beer list that emphasizes local breweries (like seriously good), a decent, though pricey, whiskey list, and some good wine choices, there's a little bit for everyone.
I love me a…More »
6. Meat & Bread
It may seem strange for a person who can't eat bread to even *want* to go into a place that only offers one other thing. But when a restaurant claims to only offer 2 items, law of averages says they will probably be pretty freaking amazing at both.…More »
7. Tavola
Friendliest servers in the lower mainland, I'm sure of it. Mozza bar be damned, these people know how to make a customer feel at home. Comfortable, happy, lively and fun! this is not what I'd expected from a place that could potentially be a stuffy…More »
8. Two Chefs and a Table
Vancouver, BC V6A 1C4
(778) 233-1303
Categories:
Canadian (New),
Cafes
Neighbourhood: Downtown Eastside
Easily seduced by impossibly high ceilings, gorgeously polished wood, opulent crystal chandeliers draped from thick wooden beams, celestially white walls and unsuspectingly impressive washrooms (yes), it's not difficult to imagine why the space in…More »
9. Matchstick Coffee Roasters
Vancouver, BC V5T 2R6
(604) 558-0639
Category:
Coffee & Tea
Neighbourhood: Mount Pleasant
I'll jump on this train; absolutely, I will. When Matchstick first opened its doors a few months back, I decided to take the wait-and-see approach so that I could check it out *after* the major hype had died down (also known as:…More »
