1. India Gate Restaurant
Vancouver, BC V6B 2B9
Canada
(604) 684-4617
Absolutely delicious.
India Gate was my last gastronomical stop in Vancouver, and as a farewell dinner, it was the perfect send-off back to humid Houston. Leaving the city without doing Indian is close to sacrilege, so at least one meal was a must.…More »
2. Salt Tasting Room
Vancouver, BC V6B 1A4
Canada
(604) 633-1912
Categories:
Wine Bars,
Tapas/Small Plates
Neighbourhoods: Downtown, Gastown
Dear Yelp,
Please let me give six stars. Or seven. Heck, I'll give ten.
Ever since I informed my friend that I'd be coming to Vancouver, she informed me that I had my choice of things to see and do, but Salt was the only non-negotiable. We WERE…More »
3. Japa Dog
Vancouver, BC V6Z 2K6
Canada
Categories:
Hot Dogs,
Food Stands,
Japanese
Neighbourhood: Downtown
When I asked around, both on Yelp and among my friends, about what to do, see and eat in Vancouver, I got "JapaDog" on both sides, for all three of those categories. After looking it up online, I was incredibly perturbed. Erm...a hot dog? With…More »
4. Viti Wine and Lager
Vancouver, BC V6B 3L9
Canada
(604) 683-3806
Categories:
Beer, Wine & Spirits,
Wine Bars
Neighbourhoods: Downtown, Granville Entertainment District
The thing that most stood out to me on my trip to Vancouver was how dad-blasted nice everyone was. It didn't matter what I was buying or where I was going--people were always incredibly friendly, helpful and immediately started chatting with me.…More »
5. Bibliophile Bookshop
Vancouver, BC V5N 4A9
Canada
(604) 254-5520
Category:
Bookstores
Neighbourhoods: Grandview-Woodlands, The Drive
Bibliophile reminds me of my hometown Half Price Books, but with so much more character. There are little wooden signs hanging from the stacks delineating their different sections. There are strange brass and wooden knicknacks everywhere. The…More »
6. Tentatsu
Vancouver, BC V5K
Canada
(604) 255-3733
Category:
Japanese
Neighbourhood: Hastings-Sunrise
Sushi makes me happy. Cheap, good quality sushi makes me ECSTATIC. :-)
Tentatsu is the site of the first meal I had once I got on the ground in Vancouver. It's just around the corner from my friends' apartment and is their go-to place for…More »
7. Mondo Gelato
Vancouver, BC V6E 1C1
Canada
(604) 694-0108
Category:
Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt
Neighbourhood: West End
As part of my Tour de Foodies in Vancouver, my friends took me to Mondo Gelato as a cool, refreshing treat after lunch at JapaDog. I didn't have really high expectations although my friends had mentioned this as a place worth checking out, but once…More »
8. Trees Organic Coffee
Vancouver, BC V6C 1V4
Canada
(604) 684-5022
Category:
Coffee & Tea
Neighbourhood: Downtown
Cheesecakes are for yes. That's why when I heard Trees' specialty was their many varieties of cheesecakes, I just couldn't say no. I met up with friends here for...well, I would say coffee, but we were just here for the cheesecake, to be honest.
The…More »
9. Daniel Le Chocolat Belge
Vancouver, BC V6H 3J5
Canada
(604) 733-1994
Category:
Food
Neighbourhoods: Fairview Slopes, South Granville
Stopped in here while wandering around on Robson. The first thing you notice is the heavenly chocolate smell. The lady behind the counter was too nice and even put out new samples for us (hazelnut = love, in case you were wondering.) After looking…More »
10. SeaBus
Vancouver, BC V6B 1G1
Canada
(604) 953-3333
Category:
Public Transportation
Neighbourhood: Downtown
What do you call a boat that takes people from one place to the other? Under any other circumstance, you'd call it a ferry--but in Vancouver, it's a SeaBus! At only $2.50 it's worth it to ride for the entertainment alone. I snagged some beautiful…More »
11. Beard Papa's
Vancouver, BC V6G 2M9
Canada
(604) 681-3163
Japanese + cream puff = ?
This was the question I considered when I went to Beard Papa's. After dinner at Vera's, I came over here to experience the yum. It's a teeny storefront with workers dressed in over-the-top chef's outfits with crazy hats.…More »
12. Banshee Clothing
Vancouver, BC V5L 3Y2
Canada
(604) 254-7240
Categories:
Accessories,
Arts & Crafts,
Women's Clothing
Neighbourhoods: Grandview-Woodlands, The Drive
I stumbled across this little shop wandering around Commercial Drive during my Vancouver trip. It's cute, but not quite perfect. Banshee offers an array of clothing and accessories, and I enjoyed looking through the racks for something fun. They…More »
13. Vera's Burger Shack
Vancouver, BC V6G 2N1
Canada
(604) 681-5450
This location of Vera's is situated on a particularly busy stretch of Denman, and I stopped in here for dinner one night with friends. I think I got overhyped and was expecting greatness, so I was disappointed once I took a bite.
There are lots of…More »
14. Vancouver Art Gallery
Vancouver, BC V6Z 2H7
Canada
(604) 662-4700
Categories:
Museums,
Art Galleries
Neighbourhood: Downtown
Yes, it has one of the most unfortunate acronyms of all time. Seriously, they can't change the name to the Vancouver Art Museum? But seeing as this place doesn't have much in the way of permanent collection, it really is more of a "gallery" than a…More »
15. Mintage
Vancouver, BC V5N 4A3
Canada
(604) 646-8243
Categories:
Used, Vintage & Consignment,
Men's Clothing,
Women's Clothing
Neighbourhoods: Grandview-Woodlands, The Drive
I've never worked at a resale shop, so I can't say for sure, but I think that somewhere deep in the Secondhand Seller's Guidebook (p. 54), it's required that staff members avoid eye contact with customers at all times, sigh disaffectedly at regular…More »

Gluten-Free Gluttony (5)With a boyfriend that's newly gluten-free, finding options that won't bust his gut are sadly few and far between. However, here are some favorites that we have. These restaurants either offer explicitly gluten-free options or have good work-arounds for those with gluten intolerances. YMMV, so do your homework and know your allergies before indulging. |
