Gimme More 604 - Food!
See All Lists
1. The Flying Beaver Bar
I'm definitely one to chase a view and this one is worth chasing. The building is half airport and half restaurant / pub. It's got a great ski lodge feel with wood beams and wide windows facing the Fraser River where float planes come and go before…More »
2. The Kaboom Box
Vancouver, BC V6B 2C9
(604) 788-6367
Categories:
Food Stands,
Seafood
Neighbourhood: Downtown
This is a fast food place like no other, a big red street cart serving up fresh, local and wild fixings. Today is opening day at Granville and Robson, and while the menu may change, for now you can take your pick of a few sandwiches (like an oyster…More »
3. The Sandbar Seafood Restaurant
Vancouver, BC V6H 3R9
(604) 669-9030
Categories:
Seafood,
Sushi Bars
Neighbourhood: Granville Island/False Creek
The past two times I've been the food (swordfish & oysters), the service and the ambiance have been incredible. Bartender made a mean mojito too.
I rave about the experience of sitting on the top deck just under the Granville Bridge. It feels a…More »
4. Arbutus Coffee
This time I went in and first thing I noticed was the girl behind the counter and her big smile. It was a nice way to start my Saturday morning...an idyllic little coffee shop, a warm helpful smile and a perfect cup of coffee. Got beans to go too…More »

Arbutus Coffee is a sweet little place on a not so busy street. Great to wander in and grab a cup… Read more »
5. Radha
Fantastic place to try new things. I had a sunchoke and nettle pesto phyllo purse. It came with potatoes (menu said roasted veggies) which weren't all too exciting but I was happy nonetheless. The vermicelli rolls my friend got were fantastic.…More »
6. Go Fish Ocean Emporium
Vancouver, BC V6J 1E8
(604) 730-5040
Categories:
Seafood,
Fish & Chips
Neighbourhood: Granville Island/False Creek
I love fish & chips and was nothing less than super satisfied with my beer-battered salmon. Cole slaw had an unusual take and was really tasty too.
Fantastic location as well. It's a tiny, out-of-the-way, stand right beside the fish market under…More »
7. The Salmon Shop
Vancouver, BC V6H 3R9
(604) 669-3474
Category:
Seafood Markets
Neighbourhood: Granville Island/False Creek
The Salmon Shop always catches my eye and I can't resist getting something for my lunch, dinner or even snacktime. Maple or tandoori glazed smoked salmon chunks are good for a protein fix, and the salmon pie is good to bring in my lunch bag to work.…More »
8. Six Acres
Wandered through Gastown tonight looking for a calm and cool place to meditate on the lecture I'd just attended at SFU. At this point I'm super hungry and very thirsty but still not willing to throw myself on any old plastic chair patio. Six Acres…More »
9. Lumbermen's Arch Cafe
Cute little spot near the aquarium to grab a bite. We ordered 2 pieces of fish and chips (for $9 or 10) to share while we sat at the nearby beach and watched the action. Considering this is fast food park-style I thought it was pretty decent and a…More »
10. Salt Tasting Room
Vancouver, BC V6B 1A4
(604) 633-1912
Categories:
Wine Bars,
Tapas/Small Plates
Neighbourhoods: Downtown, Gastown
Five stars from me for the Salt Tasting Room. I'm convinced my boyfriend picked this place on yelp's hotlist and I can see why. First off, if you can get by the lady in the dumpster who may pop her head up as you park, you'll find a charming…More »
11. Best Quality Sweets & Restaurant
Vancouver, BC V5X 3J4
(604) 324-6677
Categories:
Vegetarian,
Bakeries,
Indian
Neighbourhood: Sunset
It's one of those places you won't quite know what to expect at first. The place is in a small strip mall and once you walk in it seems you've come to more of a bakery than a restaurant even though there are a bunch of tables. There's a board…More »
12. Connie's Cook House
One of the cheapest places I've found to eat in Kitsilano. Tasty too. Nice selection of vegetarian options. Only lament is that it's a bit grimy. Check your cutlery before you dig in.
13. Foundation
"Best meal I had in Van all week..."
Was recently just exploring my new neighborhood in Vancouver when I spotted this place. From the look of it I thought it was a board shop at first until I realized it was a resto which was great 'cause I was…More »
14. Sushiyama
So glad Sushiyama put me back on the track to great sashimi in this city. After a poor experience elsewhere yesterday I was thrilled to get my fix of fresh and tasty sashimi...big melt-in-your-mouth pieces that satisfied my craving. Delicious miso…More »
15. Blue Parrot Espresso Bar
Vancouver, BC V6H 3R9
(604) 688-5127
Category:
Coffee & Tea
Neighbourhood: Granville Island/False Creek
Even if it's grey outside this cafe is full of light, a perfect respite for a cup of morning java. I'm a fan of dark blends and this one didn't impress too much, nor did their bagel with microwaved egg for $7.50 but i'd gladly suck it up for a spot…More »
16. Corduroy
Vancouver, BC V6J
(604) 733-0162
Categories:
Canadian (Traditional),
Pubs,
Pizza
Neighbourhood: Kitsilano
They picked the perfect name for this place. Corduroy makes you feel warm and cozy in every way. On a quiet night this is a great place to sink into with friends and share some tasty apps. While the wines are nothing to rave about the food is…More »
17. Red Burrito
Vancouver, BC V5N 4A3
(604) 707-0877
Category:
Mexican
Neighbourhoods: Grandview-Woodlands, The Drive
The veggie burrito I had, wrapped in a nice red tortilla and stuffed with rice, beans, corn, guac, tomatoes and salsa verde was very tasty. Definitely hit the spot. $7 was a bit much I think but I'd go back for my burrito fix again. I ate in, on a…More »
18. Moxie's Classic Grill
Decent patio, good food, friendly servers who'll even hold the door open for you when you leave and enter. Fish tacos were a bit sloppy but pretty tasty. I'd eat lunch here again anytime.
19. The Naam
Pretty pleasing place. Fortunately we came by on a quiet day (I hear it gets packed) and found a sweet spot on their charming patio. Was a little odd to have a chair seriously low to the ground while my friend sat up high but I lived with it. We…More »
20. Hibachi Grill & Sushi Restaurant - CLOSED
Vancouver, BC V6P 4Z8
(604) 263-7412
Categories:
Japanese,
Sushi Bars
Neighbourhood: Marpole
I had my pick of sushi joints on this Granville strip but liked the look of Hibachi's menu...good looking lunch specials, plentiful too. Inside it was busy yet still somehow very zen. I found a quiet booth to catch up on the day's news and had a…More »
21. Capers Community Market
Vancouver, BC V6K 1N9
(604) 739-6676
Categories:
Health Food Store,
Grocery
Neighbourhood: Kitsilano
I kinda dig Capers. It's got loads of fresh produce, a great salad bar for take-out or eat-in and a terrific bulk grains section (I couldn't find quinoa anywhere else). Best deal was the fair-trade and organic coffee. Prices were about $11/pound.…More »
22. Vivo! Gelato
Vancouver, BC V6M 3W4
(604) 266-7637
Category:
Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt
Neighbourhoods: Kerrisdale, Arbutus Ridge
Nice find in Kerrisdale, excuse me, Arbutus Ridge. Some great choices of gelato include blood orange, lychee and guava. The smiling guy behind the counter educated me about gelato too, pointing out that flavours like mango are 100% real mango,…More »
23. Room 18 Restaurant & Bar
Went in to watch the Canucks play Chicago since a huge flag waved in the window and a sign for 2 for 1 apps enticed. Was surprised to find the place mostly empty but it suited me fine. There was no smell of chicken wings wafting by - a pet peeve I…More »
24. Wick's Café
This spacious and airy cafe stands out in its pseudo-industrial surroundings. I like to come in with an issue of Playback and kick back on a bench seat by their nice big windows. Sandwiches are tasty and freshly made albeit a little small for what…More »
