1. Foundation
I stand by my 4 stars, but have to say that I finally received my first plate of burnt nachos. It happens to us all folks, just eat around it and all will be fine.

I'm going to just go right ahead and say it: the first time I ate at Foundation I had no idea it was… Read more »
2. The Whip Restaurant Gallery
Vancouver, BC V5T 1J7
(604) 874-4687
Categories:
Bars,
Canadian (Traditional)
Neighbourhood: Mount Pleasant
A go-to place to meet up with friends, the Whip has a something to offer pretty much everyone I'm with on any particular occasion. The atmosphere has plenty of energy but is still super chill, and despite the multiple changes in ownership over the…More »
3. The Irish Heather
Vancouver, BC V6B 2J2
(604) 688-9779
Categories:
Irish,
Gastropubs
Neighbourhoods: Downtown, Gastown
Last minute change of venue with 30 people in tow? No problem, says the Irish Heather. What about if we bring in Jenga to crash on the concrete floor? Also fine, apparently. A communal table all to ourselves, the nicest server in the house and great…More »

Communal table! MASSIVE scotch list! Bangers and mash!
... but it's missing something. The Irish… Read more »
4. Banana Leaf Malaysian Cuisine
Where to take my most well-traveled friend who has a family-style eating preference for dinner when she comes to visit? Why, Banana Leaf of course.
South Asian dishes with a Malaysian bent, the food here is consistently and mouthwateringly delicious.…More »
5. Chambar
When I'm in the mood for a little bit of make-believe, pretending that I actually do live the high-life, I head to Chambar for dinner. Dim lighting, high ceilings, AND exposed brick walls? This place oozes a sense of glamour and mystic.
Fast forward…More »
6. Motomachi Shokudo
Ramen. To some it's a cheap sodium-filled memory of their youth; to most (who shall be known as the lucky ones) it is the perfect comfort food made with the freshest noodles to be eaten on a rainy day. But to me, ramen isn't ramen without one crucial…More »
7. Peckinpah
Sigh. Love affairs never really last, do they? The spark fizzles, the magic fades, the pork... dries up.
... ahem.
Still good enough, just not as mind-blowing as it once was. Moisten your meat, Pekinpah. Let's get it back on.

8. House of Dosas
Vancouver, BC V5V 3E3
(604) 875-1283
Category:
Indian
Neighbourhood: Kensington-Cedar Cottage
Who's the dosa with the mosa? Euuuh, I can't really be sure... but who's the dosa I think is fan-freaking-tastic? This one - the behemoth my stomach fears most. TWICE as big as the dish it's served on, this beast had me wondering just where The House…More »
9. Pork Belly Beer House
Vancouver, BC V6G 2J7
(604) 602-9543
Like it or not, it's a fairly common occurrence to be stopped dead in my tracks by some of the most enticing aromas of char-grilled BBQ goodness while walking through the West End. On one corner there's Guu, Zakkushi lives on another, Hapa is down…More »
10. Burgoo Bistro
Vancouver, BC V5T 3G5
(604) 873-1441
Category:
Canadian (Traditional)
Neighbourhood: Mount Pleasant
Roasted veggies, gooey cheese, glasses of wine, rainy days, comfort, warmth, Burgoo.
Oh man, how you are what I need on a cool summer night. Sigh.
Lose the salt and we'll be besties for life.
11. Rocky Mountain Flatbread Company
I'm a local-organic-sustainable-glut enfree floozie. All I have to see are those three (four, but who's counting) magic words and I'm all over it. Even if I've just eaten, I can't resist the temptation of fresh ingredients coming together in one…More »
12. Tavola
Friendliest servers in the lower mainland, I'm sure of it. Mozza bar be damned, these people know how to make a customer feel at home. Comfortable, happy, lively and fun! this is not what I'd expected from a place that could potentially be a stuffy…More »
13. Fray
Vancouver, BC V5V 4E4
(604) 558-3729
Categories:
Cafes,
Breakfast & Brunch,
Burgers
Neighbourhoods: Riley Park, Kensington-Cedar Cottage
Let's think about this for a moment, shall we? Aside from aptly named F-bombs and insanely entertaining colouring supplies, what is Fray offering here? Just what is Fray about?
If I were a book cover judger, I'd wager that Fray is about boring food…More »
14. Stepho's Souvlaki Greek Taverna
Unlike the queue one might see if front of a shitty bar on a weekend, those that form in front of a food stand or restaurant are a direct signifier of something amazing going on. Some magical thing is being served here.
--disclaimer--
I'm not a fan of…More »
15. Olympia Restaurant
Vancouver, BC V6G 2M1
(604) 688-8333
I come here for the lamb. Period.
Okay, and maybe a few other things too. Not usually one to trust a menu that is more than a couple of pages, I somehow think it's okay here. They may offer a lot of dishes, but each is made with same basic ingredients…More »
