The Irish Heather is awesome for having the Long Table Series. $15 for a full meal and a beer, you can't go wrong! And the food is great! It's an awesome gathering spot for friends. I love it!

North Vancouver, BC V7J 3G3
(604) 990-3755
If I meet any tourist who is planning on going to Capilano Suspension Bridge (CSB) , I just get this immediate urge to persuade them to come to Lynn Valley Suspension (LVS) instead and save their $30 or whatever it cost these days to cross the…More »

4. Summer Night Market
This is a review for only the food section because that's where I roll!
This has to be as good as it gets in Vancouver because this is the only place I know that you can find a huge variety of Asian street food at such low prices! I think I spent in…More »

Normally, for a place like this, I would give it three stars because it was A-OK. However, with prices this amazing, it makes me a huge fan! $4.75 for a mee goreng?? Yes, please! The food is pretty good, not the highest quality... but the…More »
6. Maxim's Bakery
This is my favorite bakery for Chinese pastries and buns. The coconut and BBQ pork buns are so soft and grabbable (I like grabbing buns!). And the coconut buns aren't too sweet. There is a lot of traffic here so you can be sure your buns will be…More »

7. 1 Happy Hair Cuts
Great for threading and waxing, but it's nothing fancy. It's a room of 5 or more Indian women waiting for you to come in and deposit your unwanted hair (via threading or waxing) into their disposal bins. The best thing about this place is that it's…More »

Brunch here is fantastic and creative!!! I had the Benny Special today with brie, fig jam, egg, and hollandaise. Potatoes were okay, but they're never my favorite. I also got a side of bacon to add some salty component to the meal. Good decision.…More »

9. The Gallery Lounge
Karaoke Tuesdays are hilarious! The place to be if you wanna be in a room full of a bunch of drunken 18 -25 year old singing out of tune! So much fun!
The pitchers of Molson Canadian are now $9.50 though.

Vancouver, BC V5N 4A8
(604) 215-9252
Neighbourhoods: Grandview-Woodlands, The Drive
This place is interesting. It's a little dive on Commercial Drive serving Jamaican food. I don't know how authentic it really is because I've never been shown exactly what true Caribbean food should be like. The jerk chicken was okay, I had nothing…More »

Coffee & Tea,

Neighbourhood: Kitsilano
You gotta love a $2 latte with a flavour. The espresso isn't the strongest, but it does the job and they even put a design in it! That's what makes this place as good as it gets. You'd be hard pressed to find a $2 latte with flavour & design…More »

A Mexican friend of mine told me I had to go here as this was the only place in Vancouver you can find authentic Mexican torta sandwiches. So I finally went today and got the most Mexican sounding one: Machaca--shredded spicy beef sandwich. It was…More »
13. Red Apple Market
I love this market. It's not perfect, but it's pretty good for this area. And it's wayyyyyy cheaper than Safeway or Save-on. Yeah, I wouldn't consider going here for cheese, milk, crackers etc. They have some non-veg things cheap, such as pastas.…More »

16. Tongs Chinese Restaurant
Good for some late night congee!
Well we ordered plain congee and a bunch of small plates to add into it. The first congee tasted burnt though. Luckily, the Chinese guy in our group sent it back and we got new unburnt one.
The small plates were good.…More »

Now it's as good as it gets because if you go there after 5pm, you get the bread loaves for 30% off! And if they have any buns or anything left (the pretzel buns are awesome), they'll give it to you 2 for the price of 1!!
P.S. their cranberry bread…More »

I love the fact that they give you a free meal on your birthday! What a great way to celebrate my 25th--a large fish and chips and a diet pepsi. LOL But the halibut and chips IS pretty awesome...

19. Bhaia Sweet Shop & Restaurant
Stopped here to pick up some snacks for a friend's wedding dress and make up/hair rehearsal. They make their samosas and pakoras (paneer ones to be clear) fresh when you order them. Their gulab jamuns are okay, but they're meant to be really sweet.…More »

Yummy Chicken Shawarma's! Very tasty. Can't say much more that hasn't been said already.
The only thing is that I would add less, or no pickles next time. And maybe it would be better if it were grilled like Donair King?? But meh, I really liked it…More »

Went here for a late night meal at the last minute. They had decent congee and noodles. It was very much a "wham bam thank you maam" type of meal, which is actually what I prefer at midnight. It is the average greasy late night chinese food joint. I…More »
23. Money's Beauty Hair Salon
This place is pretty good for threading eyebrows and such, depending on who you get. I've had some hack jobs before, but if you go to Money herself or Teema, they're pretty good.
The reason I don't rate this a 4 star though is because of the price.…More »

I have a new found love for this department store. So they didn't have the leggings I wanted for my cheerleading uniform, but they did have clothing dye! And with that royal blue clothing dye, I also ended up getting some more Olympic gear, 4 basic…More »
