This is by far the best patisserie in Vancouver. By far. Miles. Kilometres. Whatever your poison.

Ok, so I have an addiction to sfogliatelle. I get a craving once every few months, and for the longest time I couldn't find a way to satisfy it in Vancouver. Then I found this very good Italian bakery. They offer 2 varieties of sfogliatelle…More »

6. Excellent Tofu & Snacks
Richmond, BC V6X 3L7
(604) 232-0268
* A silky tofu counter! *
This place looks like an old lunch spot that you used to find in a five and dime way back when. You know the kind, with a long counter and a few booths. But the offerings are nothing like the old five and dime ones!
They…More »
7. Festival Du Bois
* Très Magnifique! *
This community festival was one of the best I've been to in the Vancouver area - by far. It had really great music, a strong community feel, some classic Quebec treats, and a true variety of offerings.
The highlights:

(604) 801-6338
Category:
Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt

Updated: I sampled the yogurt yesterday. It was delicious! The original flavour actually tastes like yogurt, and not nasty overly sweet or powdery soft serve. The fresh raspberries and blueberries were the perfect compliment.
They run a special…More »

15. Hilltop Cafe
* Kickass diner *
Classic diner food well which is well executed is so comforting. Hilltop provides exactly that.
