Fantastic faux meat dishes!  The black bean sauced green beans are to die for.   Service is ok, portions are nicely sized, food is great, prices are a bit steep but I'll be back.  I'm addicted to vegan chinese food.  

BV now serves meat dishes too…More »

I love the ship! It is the best alternative pub in town. My only gripe is that every time I've tried to eat there in the past few months, it's been too busy to get a table!   The menu is killer, a great selection of beers on tap & sometimes you get…More »

SO GOOD.  Just do it. The service is great and the food is so grandma-style tasty.  It's veggie friendly; I got pasta with dill & feta, and my dude got chicken paprikash.  Both dishes were large & delicious.

This place is usually packed! It's annoying to wait a while to sit but the sushi is worth it.  My favourite dish is the tofu teriyaki.  It's sooooo good.  I haven't ever gotten the all you can eat sushi; I just order a la carte.  I have never been…More »

Cheap, perfect hangover breakfasts.  You might want to come back for the chinese food or sandwiches, but to me Lido is all about the pancakes, eggs & hashbrowns.  It does the trick after a hard night.

This is an all-veggie chinese restaurant (think buddha veggie without the dim sum).  Let's be frank: this place is unbelievably casual.  It's in the food court of a mini-mall in chinatown!  It's kind of waiter-service, and kind of buffet-style fast…More »
