I'd like you to "meat" Vancouver
See All Lists
1. Pork Belly Beer House
Vancouver, BC V6G 2J7
(604) 602-9543
Like it or not, it's a fairly common occurrence to be stopped dead in my tracks by some of the most enticing aromas of char-grilled BBQ goodness while walking through the West End. On one corner there's Guu, Zakkushi lives on another, Hapa is down…More »
2. Peckinpah
Sigh. Love affairs never really last, do they? The spark fizzles, the magic fades, the pork... dries up.
... ahem.
Still good enough, just not as mind-blowing as it once was. Moisten your meat, Pekinpah. Let's get it back on.

NapkinNapkinNapkinNapkin, no bun! Jeeebus, this pork. This pristine porking piggy pecks at my palate in perfectly pleasant ways.
It's messy, it's tender, it's moist, it's sweet, it's filling my mouth with all sorts of good.
... ooogahhd.
Be mine,…More »
4. Oyama Sausage Company
Vancouver, BC V6H 3R9
(604) 327-7407
Categories:
Meat Shops,
Cheese Shops
Neighbourhood: Granville Island/False Creek
MEAT.
Cured meat, ground meat, cut meat, sausaged meat, game meat, duck meat, boar meat, sake-cured meat, fruit-infused meat, organic meat, local meat, free-range meat -- it's all about the MEAT, people!
I'm hosting a sausage party, and Oyama's…More »
5. Big Lou's Butcher Shop
Vancouver, BC V6A 0B6
(604) 566-9229
Categories:
Meat Shops,
Sandwiches
Neighbourhood: Downtown Eastside
I'm a sucker for meat. For real though. And cured meat? Gimme some of that and I'm putty in the hands of the provider.
A tribute to old school butcher shops, a stylish addition to Vancouver's food scene, a welcome change in the Railtown landscape, Big…More »
6. The Irish Heather
Vancouver, BC V6B 2J2
(604) 688-9779
Categories:
Irish,
Gastropubs
Neighbourhoods: Downtown, Gastown
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 »

Communal table! MASSIVE scotch list! Bangers and mash!
... but it's missing something. The Irish… Read more »
7. The American Cheesesteak
Vancouver, BC V6Z 2S7
(604) 681-0130
Category:
Cheesesteaks
Neighbourhoods: Downtown, Granville Entertainment District
I've been waiting -- no, *we've* been waiting -- for this spot for what seems like years. That ridiculous "Opening Soon" sign has been plastered on the window of what's meant to be home to one of the most iconic meals in all of Americana, right here…More »
8. Bada Bing Food Truck
An update:
After reading my review, the owner of Bada Bing contacted me to give them another shot. Though the offer of a free sandwich was tempting, I can't eat the wheat (as I mentioned in my first review), so I once again opted for the bowl.
Now,…More »

I did it. I finally experienced Bada Bing. My primary barrier to not trying it out before *was* that… Read more »
9. Meat & Bread
It may seem strange for a person who can't eat bread to even *want* to go into a place that only offers one other thing. But when a restaurant claims to only offer 2 items, law of averages says they will probably be pretty freaking amazing at both.…More »
10. Zakkushi
TWELVE dollars for a half-liter of wine?! Now *this* is why Zakkushi is authentic: izakayas are for big drinking, small bites, and good friends. I love this place for *not* doting on me, for *not* waiting on me hand and foot, for feeding me tiny…More »

Zakkushi on Denman is undoubtedly my favourite restaurant in Vancouver. Having been to a number of… Read more »
