1. The Corner Suite Bistro De Luxe - CLOSED
Vancouver, BC V6E 1W2
(604) 569-3415
Category:
French
Neighbourhoods: West End, Downtown
Step inside this enchanted neighbourhood bistro with aqua (leather?) chairs in a Queen Anne (maybe?) style set a whimsical tone. You might be thinking this review will be all about the dinner and drinks, but no, that's next time; this was all about…More »

La Boheme makes the rounds through the summer.

3. Café Medina
Vancouver, BC V6B 2L3
(604) 879-3114
Category:
Breakfast & Brunch
Neighbourhood: Downtown
"For the Love of Medina"
Oh your lavender latte was unexpectedly lovely
But your raspberry version took my breath away...
The murmurings of those sipping and chatting
Melted me into my chair while my heart fell for
The waffles, of which I
Partook in…More »
4. Voya - CLOSED
Wax Poetic in the Twentieth Century. No this is not the name of a song or film, these are two outstanding cocktails at Voya. Cozy, dark and comfy, this place could easily be a new neighbourhood haunt for me... if I lived within walking distance.…More »
5. Twisted Fork
Vancouver, BC V6Z 1M1
(604) 568-0749
Categories:
French,
Breakfast & Brunch
Neighbourhoods: Downtown, Granville Entertainment District
Thank you Twisted Fork. You saved a bland-food-night that was quickly going sour at another establishment. Lucky for me and a yelper's quick tip, I found out that there was no wait and we quickly changed our plans to include Twisted Fork.
Belly so-so…More »

Can I live here? Just tuck me into one of the cozy corners and I'll happily munch on brioche until I… Read more »
6. La Boulangerie
Vancouver, BC V6Z 2K6
(604) 642-2939
Categories:
Coffee & Tea,
Bakeries,
Sandwiches
Neighbourhood: Downtown
The space is really tight, not exactly somewhere I would make a destination, and I didn't really get the feeling of a French cafe, but with the dueling Starbucks my only other proximal choice this is a decent pit stop.
A hop and barely a skip away…More »
7. La Vie En Rose
Vancouver, BC V6E 1A9
(604) 684-5600
Category:
Lingerie
Neighbourhoods: West End, Downtown
Ever feel like you're being stalked? Like every step you take, someone is watching you? If you haven't, just take a little browse through La Vie En Rose. You'll immediately feel that awkward, slightly frightened sensation that comes from knowing…More »
8. La Belle Patate
Vancouver, BC V6E 1N4
(604) 569-1215
Categories:
Fast Food,
Poutineries
Neighbourhood: West End
Here's hoping that the new owners got a good deal when they took over what was once Shanghai 1949. I never ate at it's predecessor, which sat always suspiciously empty and dark. A coat of yellow paint, some Quebec license plates, and voilà, we've got…More »
9. Simply French
Vancouver, BC V6R
(604) 568-6180
Categories:
Coffee & Tea,
Delis
Neighbourhood: Point Grey
The moment the sweet proprietor asked me if I'd like some warmed up milk in my Americano, I knew a little piece of my heart belonged to this place.
Ambiance rich with round little tables, chandeliers, folky French music, hardwood floors and an…More »
10. Place de la Francophonie - CLOSED
It was raining, what I hope was just a rehearsal concert on the Air Canada Stage went from loud sound to silence as a camera whipped through the air, it's operator looking bored and inattentive. If the band could be heard, it would likely made it…More »
11. Tartine Bread & Pies
I love me some tarts, tarts, tarts. I need those tarts, tarts, tarts. Give me those tarts, tarts, tarts.
Tartine bread has become a staple in my kitchen (not sliced, thanks!), and every week or so, I skip out to "grocery shop" and give myself a wee…More »

12. Mount Pleasant Cheese
Vancouver, BC V5Z 2W8
(604) 875-6363
Category:
Cheese Shops
Neighbourhoods: South Cambie, Riley Park
The banter alone will make me visit time and time again. They'll keep you on your toes as you make your selection, there's no doubt!
Once I was told that there was an entire display case for soft cheeses, I was swooning. Cheeses were brought out,…More »
13. So.Cial at Le Magasin - CLOSED
Vancouver, BC V6B 1B6
(604) 669-4488
Categories:
Sandwiches,
Canadian (New),
Lounges
Neighbourhoods: Downtown, Gastown
Late-ish evening, just post a very talkative event, a friend and I took a load off of our sore--stuffed into high heels--tootsies, on their Water St. patio.
Mmmmm fig and curry mussels! Mmmmm frites! Mmmm spicy tomato calamari. And surprisingly -…More »
14. Petit Ami
Vancouver, BC V6H 3R9
(604) 682-4044
Category:
Coffee & Tea
Neighbourhood: Granville Island/False Creek
Fair trade gets me everytime. So much in fact that I risked getting kicked out of a Fringe Festival performance by sneaking in my fair trade americano, in the sleeve of my shirt!
But back to the coffee and the space. It's hustle and bustle at this…More »
15. Finch's Tea & Coffee House
Vancouver, BC V6B 1T3
(604) 899-4040
Categories:
Coffee & Tea,
Sandwiches
Neighbourhood: Downtown
They have BOILED EGGS and SOLDIERS! Yes, yes, I know I'm screaming. I hadn't had these since I was a little one. It deserves a shout!
For anyone that doesn't know the term - it's a soft boiled egg with buttered toast cut into long strips for dipping…More »
16. Trixi's Crepe & Coffeehaus
Vancouver, BC V5Z 2W5
(604) 709-6181
Categories:
Coffee & Tea,
Creperies
Neighbourhoods: South Cambie, Riley Park
It would be hard not to have a soft spot for a coffee shop where the server (maybe the owner?) comes over and takes your order...
The overstuffed chairs in the back made me want to curl up and read, but alas, this was not the time! I watched as my…More »
17. Baguette & Co
Quiet, breezy and en Francais? Well, bonjour! Stopped in for a bite and got the uninterrupted opportunity to work for solidly for a couple of hours. Brilliant!
I had hoped that their sandwich selection would be a little more robust, but the cucumber,…More »
