I've been here now on several occasions, when I wasn't on a vegetarian diet (see previous review) and I still absolutely love this place. It really can't get any better. All the food is amazing here and I love bringing friends from out of town here.…More »

Categories:
Mediterranean,
Tapas/Small Plates
Neighbourhood: West End
I was a bit hesitant to come back here after Crystal H's last elite event because the reviews started going downhill. But I'm glad they were proved wrong. I came with a good friend who also went to the Elite event and we had the Living Social…More »

What? I didn't review the Refinery yet?? Largely because the two other times I had been there, they were for events (Yelp Elite Event and VCBW). But I enjoyed the experience thoroughly because of the venue. The food they served at both events were…More »

This restaurant is fantastic--from the food, to the servers, right down to the management. I organized Crystal H.'s birthday bash dinner here and everything went so smoothly. From the beginning, Darragh had been very cooperative and helpful with…More »

I've been here on several occasions since I last reviewed Twisted Fork and I can say that I absolutely love it. I still always go for the brie and caramelized onion frittata because the flavours are vibrant. I did try the banana stuffed french…More »

7. Boneta Restaurant
Vancouver, BC V6B 1A5
(604) 684-1844
Delicious!
We came here for dessert after the last UYE Long Table at the Irish Heather. And for $20, I got two desserts! One was my cocktail which tasted exactly like an apple pie. I can't remember what it was called but it was amazing! And…More »

Vancouver, BC V6A 1E7
(604) 669-2396
Category:
Latin American
Neighbourhoods: Downtown, Gastown
It's almost a more posh way of presenting Latin American food and they really want you to know it (for their website even says "you won't find oversized sombreros, neon cacti, or Pepi Gonzalez. This is a kitsch-free zone."
When we went there, our…More »

I'd love to come back here after the Olympics, and for food next time. We ended up just getting a beer and some fries. The fries were so good that we wanted to order more, but the kitchen was closed. :(
The venue had a great laid back pub feel to…More »
10. The Pear Tree
I think I would agree with Andrew that they are pretty great scallops. I had a little sampling of their food during Hats Off Day. Caramelized Orange Scallops on bacon risotto. Sooooo delicious! And I'm really glad I got two of them!
If I ever have…More »
11. Bombay Bhel Restaurant - CLOSED
I'm not sure how this place was put into the category of "Middle Eastern".... It's quite Indian. But anyway...
I love this place because it's the only Indian restaurant in Van I know that serves Bhel Puri and Pani Puri. I mean other places sell…More »
12. Les Faux Bourgeois
Vancouver, BC V5T 2R6
(604) 873-9733
Delicious food! Very classic and simple. We ordered a kir royal for aperitif, which was tasty. We had the salade chevre chaud (salad with warm goat cheese) and soupe a l'oignon (French onion soup) to begin. Both were done so tastefully and…More »

Neighbourhood: Riley Park
I went to Crave for breakfast/brunch with a group of 4 friends (I don't think it's comfortable and large enough for a group of more than 6 though) and I was pretty impressed. Everything was contemporary and they were also very prompt with the…More »

These guys were pretty accommodating for a larger birthday group. The food was of amazing quality and the prices were ultra reasonable. The server was pretty friendly and helpful. My only major qualm was that the food took a long time to get out.…More »

We had our B.Sc. grad banquet here and they really had an awesome deal. I heard that with the cost, the limit was 9 drinks per person!! We definitely made use of that. The food was really good too. It was a great event. I've never eaten at the proper…More »

4 stars for my food (a burrito)!
The food tasted really delicious and my chicken burrito in verde salsa was quite filling. The chips and salsa in the beginning served at the table were delicious. They serve them with 3 salsas, all of which have a…More »
17. DB Bistro Moderne - CLOSED
The food gets a solid 3.5-4 stars. The pork terrine appetizer was amazing and perfectly executed. All the condiments were made in house. The flavours were all so great and it was so artistically plated. The bread doesn't seem to be made in house…More »

I came here for a friend's birthday who, on my recommendation, chose the restaurant. I like r.tl. The menu is pretty good and their cocktails selection is fantastic. I had the mushroom and gruyere ravioli. It was nice, but a little too salty.

It's small, quiet, but it does the job... well! The servers at Pair were very friendly and grateful for our business. I decided to have a birthday dinner here with a few friends. We got a couple of appetizers to share (yam fries and oven roasted…More »
