1. Yuji's Japanese Tapas - CLOSED
Vancouver, BC V6J 1N3
(604) 734-4990
Categories:
Japanese,
Tapas Bars
Neighbourhood: Kitsilano
What a flavourful frenzy I went on:
Kiwi Roll - thin slices of fruity sweetness on the outside? So unexpected!
Prosciutto Roll - only cream cheese on the inside? No way!
Mexican Roll -think mini fajitas - could skip it.
Wild Sockeye Salmon Tataki - so…More »
2. The Alembic
San Francisco, CA 94117
USA
(415) 666-0822
Categories:
Bars,
American (New)
Neighbourhood: Haight-Ashbury
You rocked my taste buds with some tapas I've never experienced before.
Buttery rich bone marrow, pink-pickled-quail-eggs and salty-shishito peppers...I would've packed it all away in my purse if there was anything left over!
Oh and watch out - that's…More »
3. Milwaukee Market Creamery - CLOSED
Vancouver, BC V6Z 1W5
(778) 989-0580
Categories:
Coffee & Tea,
Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt
Neighbourhood: Downtown
Ch-ch-ch-ch-chocolate frozen deliciousness with pistachios to top it all off. Feels richer than ice cream, but the owner told me it has less fat (if that's a selling feature for you). For me, it was the fact that it was so thick it stuck to my spoon,…More »
4. Bi-Rite Creamery
San Francisco, CA 94110
USA
(415) 626-5600
Category:
Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt
Neighbourhood: Mission
The last time I had soft serve was a twisted cone at McD's...circa 1999. So you may imagine that my eyes were bright with anticipation, my lips were breaking into a smile and that I was practically begging by the time I made it through the line and…More »

Perhaps my 5 stars stems from the fact that I was blown away that on a Tuesday night there was a… Read more »
5. r.tl
Vancouver, BC V6B
(604) 638-1550
Categories:
Canadian (New),
Seafood
Neighbourhoods: Downtown, Yaletown
A very quiet Saturday night inside r.tl. Could have been the Canucks playoff game, or the fact that the drinks were on the pricy. Luckily, it looked like they were made with love!
Where else would I be so brave as to order a caesar made with beef…More »
6. Red Squared Tapas Lounge - CLOSED
Vancouver, BC V6Z 1M4
(604) 408-6352
I'd turned away once already - wondering why this cool looking lounge wasn't packed. Assuming that it wasn't the place to be...
Oh contraire. It's new - so perhaps that's why it's still a little under the radar - but it won't be for long I bet! The…More »
7. Oyama Sausage Company
Vancouver, BC V6H 3R9
(604) 327-7407
Categories:
Meat Shops,
Cheese Shops
Neighbourhood: Granville Island/False Creek
I have never been more excited about ground up meat before in my life...
With a frenzy of people (why did I go to Granville Island on the weekend?) I waded my way to the front of the line. The choices...the selection..the butter chicken sausage???…More »
8. The Eatery
Vancouver, BC V6R 2B4
(604) 738-5298
Categories:
Japanese,
Sushi Bars,
Asian Fusion
Neighbourhood: Kitsilano
When people come to Vancouver and scream "I want sushi!" before we've even left the airport, I take them here. I can't help myself. I like to shock them :)
If I lived in the neighbourhood, the Eatery would likely be my late night take out haven.

Neighbourhood: Downtown
What everyone else said.
I went...
I miso-ed...
I teriy-ed!
---That was an hour ago and I already crave more.
10. Grouse Grind
What the F was I thinking? Me, new Community Manager, sitting on my little rump in front of the computer all day long, chomping up a storm of backyard goodies (my backyard being Vancouver), deciding to go for my FIRST ever time up the Grind...really,…More »
11. Firehall Arts Centre
Vancouver, BC V6A 1L3
(604) 689-0926
Category:
Performing Arts
Neighbourhood: Downtown Eastside
So, the area?! Well it might be well beyond the border of the scuzzy fringe that sends tourists retreating into Gastown, but armed with a friend, my phone and boots that would kick your ass--I was headed for the season launch of the Eastside Cultural…More »
12. Salmon n' Bannock
Vancouver, BC V6H 1G5
(604) 568-8971
Category:
Canadian (New)
Neighbourhood: Fairview Slopes
Disclaimer: I have no point of reference for First Nations cuisine. So this will be a "what my taste buds tasted, what my eyes saw and what my nose smelled" kind of review.
When we first walked in my eyes danced around - beautifully colourful…More »

Categories:
Art Supplies,
Venues & Event Spaces
Neighbourhood: Chinatown
Smack in the middle of Chinatown, just a few doors down from Fortune Sound Club, Blim has all of the bedazzlement this street could use. Funky neon sweaters, tights and retail up front, a workshop set in behind complete with lots of tables and…More »
14. Wind Mobile
Buzzing with activity, bright colours, happy, friendly staff and a truck load of information, I very happily waltzed into Wind today. Not a brisk sales tactic in sight, and definitely no pushing, aside from people gawking at their price plans…More »
