1. Pourhouse Restaurant
Vancouver, BC V6B 1B2
(604) 568-7022
Categories:
Lounges,
Canadian (Traditional)
Neighbourhoods: Downtown, Gastown
I had vowed to wait to write a review for Pourhouse, having not tried any of the food here yet, but I can't stop thinking about the cocktails.
My cocktail consuming counterpart and I dropped in on a Sunday, hoping to catch the live jazz. The musicians…More »
2. Montmartre Cafe
I've been here twice now, under very different circumstances. The first time I was here, it was to watch a friend perform later in the evening. It was a full house and the ambiance was very lively. I was immediately charmed by the space, which was…More »
3. Nicli Antica Pizzeria
Vancouver, BC V6A 1K3
(604) 669-6985
Category:
Pizza
Neighbourhoods: Downtown, Gastown
My pizza purveying pal and I had been eagerly awaiting the opening of Nicli Antica Pizzeria for many months now. He, having traveled Europe extensively, knows a good pizza when he sees one, and while I'm less of an expert through experience alone,…More »
4. Nuba Restaurant
Vancouver, BC V6B 1H7
(604) 688-1655
Categories:
Middle Eastern,
Mediterranean
Neighbourhood: Downtown
Hi, Nuba. Can I get in on a piece of the reviewing action?
I've been to this location on a number of occasions, and have never been disappointed. The menu here has a broad appeal - vegans, vegetarians, omnivores and hardcore carnivores will all find…More »
5. Kafka's Coffee and Tea
Vancouver, BC V5T 3E5
(604) 569-2967
Category:
Coffee & Tea
Neighbourhood: Mount Pleasant
Kafka's is one of my favourite cafes in Vancouver at the moment. They are very, very serious about their coffee here. I love it when business owners are clearly passionate about their product: not only does it make me happy to see passion in action,…More »
6. Six Acres
Six Acres is done up sort of in the way I wish my home would look (extensive supply of booze and all), but, given budgetary constraints, I have to settle for being a visitor to such spaces and not the host. Fortunately, my visits to Six Acres have…More »
7. Elysian Coffee
Vancouver, BC V5Z 1E9
Categories:
Coffee & Tea,
Bakeries
Neighbourhood: Fairview Slopes
My favourite cappucino in Vancouver. I haven't tried the food, don't love the service, don't wish I lived in the space...but the coffee, the coffee! She has my heart! Tasty every time I've had it, and served with latte art to boot. Small, dark,…More »
8. Caffe Cittadella
Vancouver, BC V5Z 3C2
(604) 568-5909
Category:
Coffee & Tea
Neighbourhood: Fairview Slopes
Now that I've officially become a 9-5er, I cherish my weekends like never before. Spring finally seems to have sprung in Vancouver, and this very welcome break from the endless rain meant that the great outdoors called my name. Unfortunately, my…More »
9. Mink - A Chocolate Café
Vancouver, BC V6C 3N9
(604) 633-2451
Categories:
Chocolatiers and Shops,
Coffee & Tea
Neighbourhood: Downtown
Mink is the type of place I know I would have LOVED when I was like, 14, and thought I was really sophisticated and big city when I visited places like this and ordered hyper-sweetened coffee-flavoured milk in a to-go cup (I grew up in suburbs and…More »
10. The Diamond
Vancouver, BC V6A 1E7
Categories:
Canadian (New),
Lounges
Neighbourhoods: Downtown, Gastown
Currently holds the position of my favourite bar in Vancouver. The bartenders here are top notch...all of the drinks I've had here have been expertly mixed. My beverage of choice (gin martini with a twist) is so often butchered at lesser…More »
11. Grub
Vancouver, BC V5V 3P9
(604) 876-8671
Categories:
Canadian (New),
Italian
Neighbourhood: Riley Park
I haven't been back to Grub in a long time now, but I've been a few times in the past and really enjoyed my experiences here.
I love that the menu is constantly changing, and that there is something for everyone's tastes (meat, fish, vegetarian,…More »
12. Pizzeria Prima Strada
I try to hit Pizzeria Prima Strada every time I'm in Victoria, because it's definitely crave-worthy. So busy, but the pizza is worth the wait. Very lively and bustling ambiance with a mixed crowd. I really enjoy sitting at the bar and watching the…More »
13. Campagnolo Roma
Vancouver, BC V5L 1V2
(604) 569-0456
What's next best to friends? Co-workers, of course. A group of four of us from work dropped in on a Friday night, plus one spouse and one adorable almost-two-year-old. There was little to no wait early in the evening, even for our group of six.
The…More »
14. Sushi Shelter 101
My favourite sushi snarfer and I were really excited when we started hearing great things about a sushi spot out in PoCo, as we both share, aside from a love of food, a love of having our expectations shattered. PoCo? you may think to yourself. Are…More »
15. Guu
Vancouver, BC V6B 5C6
(604) 685-8682
Categories:
Japanese,
Tapas Bars
Neighbourhoods: Downtown, Gastown
Guu is a crowdpleaser, to say the least. I've thoroughly enjoyed it every time I've went, and all of the out-of-towners have taken here end up falling all over themselves thanking me. Delicious food and showers of compliments...what more can you ask…More »
16. Habit
Vancouver, BC V5T 3E6
(604) 877-8582
Category:
Canadian (Traditional)
Neighbourhood: Mount Pleasant
Dropped into Habit with one other after a long...long...long day of work. The lights are dim and the ambiance is cozy. Given that it was later in the night, we scored a nice big, comfy booth table, which was a truly welcome change from the hard chair…More »
