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 »
Fresh IS best! Spicy salsa, intense guacamole, fresh tortillas, all gluten free!
How is it that I've been buying their products for years without actually knowing that they have a store in Kits? I've walked past Fresh is Best so many times over the…More »

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 »

They serve gluten-free bread and pasta. Best, best, best. Full stop. Best.

What on earth happened here?? What used to be the only place to get a decent falafel in town has transformed into a falafel plus shwarma joint. Apparently multitasking isn't their strong suit because not only is the staff miserable (and new -- who is…More »

Sweat dripping from my pores, the flush of red that fills my cheeks, the extra seven levels of spice that translates into an entirely new flavour, the satisfaction of knowing I made it through the entire dish without flinching - I adore spicy food.

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 »

It's about time such a high quality bistro made its way into the market. Though Edible has been a mainstay on Granville for years, it was only a short time ago that I finally found myself enjoying its food. Could it be the new location? Probably. Or…More »

Srsly, seriously, SERIOUSLY good effing tacos. I'm talking the genuine article -- corn tortillas, beef tongue, lime on everything, pork cheeks, perfect guac, actual *spicy* sauce, local ingredients and not an old el paso to be found.
Just watch out…More »

Love.
I love this little place. Mismatched chairs, foggy windows, scrabble boards, book exchange, wine and beer, gluten free menu, Boylen sodas, rhubarb pie, veggie soup, music nights, basil, coffee, best. Best.
If only every shop could be so quaint.…More »
My taste buds are simple little guys and they have but one request when it comes to the flavours I force upon them: to be as uncomplicated and authentic as humanly possible. Charcuteries, espressos, the perfect glass of wine, the deceptively simple…More »

Whaaaat? For real?? A for real-real Mexican joint in Vancouver? On GRANVILLE?! Made and served by some of the sweetest people imaginable? Celiac friends, rejoice(!) because this is the genuine article, the real McCoy, the straight-up goods.

OPEN. Finally! Ever since tasting some of Delainy's gluten free goodness at Main Street car free day last fall, I've been waiting and waiting (and maybe waiting a bit more) for her brick and mortar to open its doors.

Euugh.
As a person who can't eat the wheat, I totally commiserate with those who choose not to eat the meat -- I get it, I like those little critters too. Also, I tend to eat mostly vegetarian at home anyway, so it's no big leap to get me a veggie…More »

Snot running out of a tiny person's nose to my left, tears running down the face of a pint-sized human to my right, drool running down the chin of midget behind me: holeee, kids! They're everywhere! It's loud, it's busy, it's a total reflection of…More »
