1. Kintaro Ramen Noodle
Totally my preference, but I do so love my ramen from Kintaro. Spicy Garlic Ramen with extra corn ALL THE WAY!!! (Get this with corn)
The Med Lean Pork Med Miso Soup ramen is high on the list of good too. I tried the Cheese Ramen before, but it…More »
2. The Urban Tea Merchant
Vancouver, BC V6E 2Y2
(604) 692-0071
Very impressed with their high tea service. They do it right and they do it well. You can go high-end ($48/person) or you can treat yourself on a smaller scale for as little as $24/person.
Finger sandwiches were up to par and their sweets were…More »

3. Rice and Spice Restaurant
Best Food Court food in Vancouver bar none. Their Chicken Shwarma plate is a fave, but my absolute obsession here is the Spinach Chicken with my two veg choices where i double up on the Lentils. I HEART the lentils here! OMG FABULOUS!!! They…More »

Neighbourhoods: Downtown, Yaletown
I'm sitting here trying to find the best way to describe my experience here without sounding like an obsessed and demented food and wine snob. Perhaps it's best if I keep it simple and just tell you about each dish I tried. Overall, all I can say…More »

Breakfast & Brunch

A great place to hang out with family and friends. Service is great and the food is fantastic. I always get the Fricasse and then I get whoever else is with me to get everything else on the menu so that I can try their dishes too!
I could go on and…More »

Categories:

Neighbourhood: Downtown
This is one of my favorite restaurants. It's really hard to find a fantastic bowl of Pho in the downtown core that doesn't cost a ridiculous amount of money. They're really nice there too.
I've been coming here for years and they've never…More »
7. CinCin Ristorante + Bar
I was surprised to see some of the negative reviews about the service here. I rather like this place or perhaps, I've been lucky enough to have had positive experiences every time I've come here.
While it is more on the touristy-side, it is still one…More »
8. Bella Pizza
One of the better pizza deliveries in town. You can actually eat the pizzas here sober! They make a tasty large greek Salad too. The hot subs are decent and their lasagna, while not the best, is still okay too.
Service is fast and friendly, and…More »
9. The Fairmont Hotel Vancouver
I come here often for treat comforts and excellent tea. In fact, I just came back from organizing a Wedding Shower event here for my bestie. Everything was great and they even have Bubblegum Tea service for kids.

Coffee & Tea

So far, one of the best espresso's in the city and they make a mean Soy Chai Latte too boot! Uber nice service and it's a perfect spot for people watching. I will have to try lunch here soon, so stay tuned...updates to follow!
11. Vina Vietnamese Gourmet
Fantastic Food Court eats at Pacific Center. Best Roll Dip, tasty Beef Au Concasse and generous portions. They've got Pho and other yummy Vietnamese selections. Not the best in city, but really not too shabby for Shopping Mall delicacies.

Category:
Chinese
Neighbourhoods: Downtown, Granville Entertainment District
Finally, a legitimate Chinese noodle place in the Yaletown area! They aren't as great as Sha-Lin Noodle House, but there are better than Legendary Noodle House.
Their Pork Chop Noodle and Szechuan Spicy Beef Noodle are the best ways to go. The broth…More »

We just had my Mother-In-Law's 60th Surprise birthday party here - Chinese Banquet Styles, 10 course meal. Both service and food were great. All 80 of our guests were rolling themselves out of the restaurant by the end of the evening because they…More »

Best Singapore Laksa and best Roti with curry dipping sauce. They have good service and great drinks here too - give the Fresh Young Coconut a try!
They have multiple locations around the city and I have to give credit where it's due in terms of best…More »
15. No 9 Restaurant
It had been awhile since I stopped by here as I don't leave the downtown core all that often anymore, but as soon as I found myself in Richmond, I had to come here for a quick visit.
I had the Fishball Noodle Soup and a plain Wonton Soup (no noodles),…More »

One of the better cheapee Japanese restaurants in the Downtown/Yaletown area. Good service, good eats and good prices. Their Spicy Chicken Don always hits the spot and their signature Crunch Crunch Roll is divine! Great spot for both lunch and…More »

I am a fast food pizza junkie and i don't care who knows it anymore! There used to be some good ones in town, like Pizza Guys and Gigi's, but Pizza Guys shut down and Gigi's just isn't that great anymore and they're expensive for what you're…More »

Reading around at a lot of reviews for this place and they seem to be getting slammed pretty hard. In terms of fine dining establishments in Vancouver, I thought they did a pretty decent job.
True it may not be comparable to 3-star Michelin…More »
19. Boneta Restaurant
Vancouver, BC V6B 1A5
(604) 684-1844
Been here a few times and the mains have been hit or miss (maybe it just depends on the evening you go), but they totally redeem themselves with great service, gnocchi and an amazing tarte tartin.
Even if you go just for the tarte tartin, life is…More »

Great atmosphere and great location for an enjoyable evening out. Some of the food combination's were a little puzzling, but the food was still very high quality overall.

21. Bin 941 Tapas Parlour
I always think of this place as a great first date place, as it's small and very intimate, but I've been here for girls nights too and every time has been great.
Great food and great service - it's one of my go-to places when I want something not too…More »
22. Meat & Bread
From the looks of the crowd and line up in this joint, I'm not sure if Meat & Bread really needs another review. However, I enjoyed the food so much that I just had to add my two cents in regarding the joy and satisfaction these sandwiches provide.

23. Six Acres
Comfortable and non-pretentious, both the pub treats and drinks were really good. The Gruyere fondue and sliders were delicious and they have a really decent selection of beers to wash it all down.
My only complaint would be the wait, because it's…More »
24. Phnom Penh
Chicken wings, butter beef and noodles are all divine! Always consistent quality and service over the years. The only reason I gave this place four stars and not five, is because of the frequent lineups you'll encounter when you go!

WTF is going on at Lin's? The last few times I've made the trek from Downtown to come and eat, both the service and the food had gone downhill. The XLB is still decent (thank god) but everything else has slipped.
Your Tan Tan Noodles are now waaay too…More »

Yum yum dim sum found here! Always fresh, hot and delicious. The order portions are very generous as well and the service is good. It's nothing fancy, but you get good quality food at a reasonable price

There is more than affordable authentic Chinese food in Yaletown and it's name is Yopo Cafe. Hooray! Everything on the menu is tasty for both lunches and dinners.

I love this place! I've tried practically everything on the menu at least twice, as I find myself coming here on a weekly basis. The service is great, the food is fantastic and it's one of the more unpretentious places in Yaletown.

31. Stepho's Souvlaki Greek Taverna
Year after year and night after night we see the massive line up at Stepho's head out the door. We stopped trying to actually dine-in at this establishment years ago because to be really honest the food is not fantastic enough to justify a 1-2 hour…More »
32. Golden Great Wall Szechuan Restaurant
I've had many happy memories at this restaurant and it still continues to be a favorite over the years. They have really good juicy dumplings and in my opinion the best spicy wontons anywhere in the city.
Sadly, things have been slipping slowly over…More »
33. Gyudonya
Good place downtown to grab a quick and very affordable lunch. It's not gourmet, but it does the trick and you won't walk out hungry. I always get the Beef Short Rib bowl when I go - if I'm super hungry I'll make it a combo.
A few things, they only…More »

I've tried this place about 3-5 times and I have to admit this only because, well, it's super cheap. So, it's really easy to convince yourself "it's good enough." but honestly, the service is terrible and the food isn't that great. This is…More »

This is definitely a solidly good Vietnamese restaurant, in fact it used to be one of my favourite places. However, after rediscovering Joyeaux Restaurant downtown, Thai Son has taken a serious back seat.
Of late, their beef broth has been…More »

Don't let the Japanese/Jamaican fusion and the really relaxed atmosphere throw you off. Ken and Junko are two of the most unique characters in the Vancouver restaurant business.

I've been here over 5 times and it's been A-OK. The food is good and the service is nice, but it is on the pricier side for deli eats. Though it is in Yaletown, so what can anyone expect?
The PHAT Smoked Meat Sandwich with extra pickles is YUM and…More »
