Gastown Haunts for Everyday

Spending the vast majority of our time in the area, we are a little too familiar with all the options for lunch or a quick dinner. Here are a few of our favs!

 1. Sitar Indian Restaurant

8 Powell St

Oh, delicious delicious Indian food!

We've been ordering from Sitar for years! They make consistently fantastic Indian food - the butter chicken is great, the chicken korma also a favourite, and to start both the pakoras and onion bhaji are not to be…More »

 2. La Casita

La Casita serves the absolute best Mexican food in Vancouver.

Vancouverites have this bizarre affliction where they THINK all sorts of places have good Mexican, and it's mostly westernized crap. If you normally head south of the border for decent…More »

210 Carrall St
Vancouver, BC V6B 2J2

Three words - Long Table Series.

The Irish Heather is great the rest of the time too - for dinner and drinks with friends when you're craving irish-ish food, beer, and a loud/upbeat atmosphere.

Where the Irish Heather really shines, however, is with…More »

 4. Two Chefs and a Table

305 Alexander St
Vancouver, BC V6A 1C4
(778) 233-1303

Categories: Canadian (New), Cafes

Neighbourhood: Downtown Eastside

3.0 star rating

I love that this place is pushing the boundaries into the DTES and is officially in Railtown. It also happens to be directly across from our place, so is at the top of mind whenever we're heading out.

Two Chefs is tiny - twenty-some odd seats if you…More »

 5. Salty Tongue Café

213 Carrall St
Vancouver, BC V6B 2J2
(604) 915-7258

Another favourite of the Gastown lunch crowd!

Presumably the Salty Tongue has other options, but all that I know is that they have sandwiches. Custom, delicious, made to order sandwiches.

Sandwiches, you ask? That sounds boring and uninspired. Only,…More »

 6. Deacon's Corner

101 Main St
Vancouver, BC V6A
(604) 684-1555

Categories: Canadian (Traditional), Breakfast & Brunch

Neighbourhood: Downtown Eastside

Deacons is the quintessential neighborhood diner. On an unassuming corner in the no-mans land between Gastown and Railtown, it's unlikely anyone who didn't know it was there would stop if they'd driven by.

But oh - those folks are missing out.

Deacons…More »

 7. Alibi Room

The Alibi Room has two flavours, and both are fabulous.

Flavour 1: Weekend brunch. The perfect place for a large group of friends, with the strawberries & brie french toast TO DIE FOR. I have dreamt about this stuff. Delish.

Flavour 2: Upscale pub.…More »
