1. Thierry Chocolaterie Patisserie Cafe
Vancouver, BC V6E 1A1
(604) 608-6870
Categories:
Bakeries,
Desserts,
Coffee & Tea
Neighbourhoods: West End, Downtown
Last Sunday, at Thierry, I found a new temple to worship at. A pretty, bloody expensive one at that. Truly, you could just attend a Catholic mass and your donations there would be far cheaper than this. I did stop complaining to my better half…More »
2. French Made Baking
Vancouver, BC V5T 3J1
(604) 558-4880
You know what FMB? Charge me more for those damn macarons. They're so bloody good...and fresh...and wonderful...and life-bettering...and so deceitfully light I can consume twenty in one sitting AND still convince myself they're good for my thighs.…More »

I almost died eating their almond croissant today.
No actually, I almost crashed into another car… Read more »
3. Ganache Patisserie
Vancouver, BC V6B 2Y5
(604) 899-1098
Category:
Bakeries
Neighbourhoods: Downtown, Yaletown
Abraham Maslow was right when he theorized that self-actualization only happens when basic needs have been met. I don't know what kind of person I would be today if it weren't for Ganache and our trusty Skytrain helping me meet these needs of mine…More »
4. Urban Gate
Coquitlam, BC V3B 0C6

Categories:
Persian/Iranian,
Grocery,
Butcher
I sense that I'm developing a budding love-hate relationship with this place. This time, I LOVE IT! Craving a sweet tooth fix, BH and I hauled our sweaty, fresh-from-the-gym asses to the Urban Gate grocery. Their pastry case never fails to satisfy…More »

I know I started off my first review saying I'm not a huge fan of the restaurant, but I thought I'd… Read more »

Chocolatiers and Shops,

Neighbourhood: Downtown
My usually directionally-challenged self had no problems today walking towards West Hastings to meet a friend for lunch. I was entertaining myself by counting how many frazzled office people were crossing at each intersection (from Waterfront…More »

Categories:
French,
Breakfast & Brunch
Neighbourhoods: Downtown, Granville Entertainment District
Went again today for a healthy serving of the banana stuffed brioche french toast which succeeded in delighting me and my from out-of-town bff. I felt triumphant savouring it in all its buttery, banana-ey glory after doing house chores this morning…More »

So many Yelpers giving 2 thumbs to this place...for a very good reason. The service is cheery… Read more »
7. Seasons In the Park
Vancouver, BC V5Y 2M5
(604) 874-8008
Category:
Seafood
Neighbourhood: Riley Park
It's been about three weeks since our last visit here but three things are pretty unforgettable about this place: the breathtaking 360 degree views of the Vancouver skyline, smooth operator servers and the done to perfection food. Certainly a place…More »
8. Beacon Drive In Ltd
5 stars for the soft serve; 4 stars for the retro drive-in, sit-in-the-park-a-la-1980s-Sun day-Americana ambience; 3 stars overall for food and service. BH grew up with this place and he swears it hasn't changed one bit from the 1980s. Still making…More »
9. Death by Chocolate

(604) 730-2462
Category:
Desserts
Neighbourhoods: Fairview Slopes, South Granville
I had a sweets-induced mental breakdown after doing a lengthy survey on diabetes care in BC. Plus life is too short to not eat cake. So drive I did, all the way from Coquitlam to East Broadway, to finally get some ube (purple yam) cake from…More »
10. Marble Slab Creamery
Fast and friendly service. Great ice cream and fresh tasting mixins as expected. Had the strawberry shortcake and it hit the spot quite nicely. Plenty of parking, I don't know why this spot is not busier! It's right beside Pho 99.
11. The Blue Fox Cafe
Of course I had to stop by the Blue Fox when I was in Vic this weekend, pre-flu. Of course I slightly turned pink as the manager warmly greeted me amongst the throng of people outside...clearly I've been here waaaayy too many times. I found out…More »

12. Lighthouse Cake Company
Huwhaaatt?? Not one single review of this place? No way, this I cannot abide! Everyone needs to know what a gem of a place this is!
Once upon a time, when I lived in a far away land called Victoria, I had a friend who moved to a farther away land…More »
13. Cow's Whistler
Can honestly say I tasted the fatty contents of Cow's ice cream individually; real cream, fresh milk, fresh eggs and all the good stuff that make great ice cream...and waffles...the waffles!! You know you're in good company when you can actually…More »
