Life Altering Items
See All Lists
1. Olympia Pizza
Vancouver, BC V6K 2H5
(604) 732-5334
Life-altering vegetarian moussaka. Seriously. I've never had better.
My friend loves the lamb souvlaki (and practically lost himself at first taste-- it was creepy while complimentary of the chef's ability). Perfect lemon potatoes. Best place ever.More »
2. The Naam
Nomnomnom...
Healthy, hearty vegetarian meals in a rustic space. Live acoustic music, great (and reasonably healthy) desserts... can you go wrong?
The only drawback is the wait and sometimes the service. Last night, our service was good--as good as it…More »

The service, not excellent, but the food always is. The ensalata taco salad has fake meat that… Read more »
3. Home Restaurant
Hope, BC V0X
(604) 869-5558
If I'm travelling with my parents, a few things are for certian: laughing, listening to my mom lament about not having grandkids and eating boring white people food. Thankfully when we stop in Hope, things get switched up a bit: awesome white people…More »
4. Le Gavroche Restaurant
The food was great, but this one item changed my life: the onion tarts. I would have never thought to order one of these, but they brought them to our table as a free little canape. Let me just say, they were the highlight of the meal. Call ahead…More »

Categories:

Lebanese
Neighbourhood: Mount Pleasant
Delicious, healthy, flavourful, cute. Loved the food and the unique space-- off the beaten path yet packed to the brim with people! The smoothies and crispy cauliflower wowed. The olives with feta starter-- weak presentation (not too surprising)…More »

Category:
Barbeque

Cheap ($32 platter can feed 5), delicious (the brisket changes my life) and coma inducing. Perfect. Be prepared to wait, esp if you need a full booth.

9. Sha Lin Noodle House
I love this restaurant. Good value, great food, and clean-ish for a hole in the wall. The pan fried dumplings (crispy deliciousness) and the cutting noodles are my fav (I tend not to eat pasta b/c I think it's tasteless filler food, but here I love…More »
10. Café Medina
Vancouver, BC V6B 2L3
(604) 879-3114
Category:
Breakfast & Brunch
Neighbourhood: Downtown
Ok-
So it's more than I'd like to pay for a breakfast meal (I'm ALL about deals tho) but the presentation is beautiful and the lavender mocha ROCKS MY WORLD!!
For breaky, I reccommend the artery-clogging skillet. Smoked applewood cheddar + brisket (i…More »
11. Kintaro Ramen Noodle
Love this place.
I'm all about excess when it comes to flavour, so the extra extra flavorful miso broth (get the strongest one) melts my heart. I could drink that stuff for days. The cheese ramen is hilarious-- there is SO much cheese, it's…More »

Vancouver, BC V6B 6L2
(604) 609-0080
Category:
Seafood
Neighbourhoods: Downtown, Yaletown
My goodness, is there anywhere better to kickback with great food, handsome male servers and tunes that remind you of grade school? No. Well, maybe, but none that come to mind right now because all I can think about are the Pan Fried Oysters that…More »

16. Social Bites
By far one of my BEST dining experience of 2009-- I was absolutely bowled over by this event. SB connects people together... and the food... let me just say that diners hugely benefit from the healthy competition between the chefs. The food I…More »
17. Boneta Restaurant
Vancouver, BC V6B 1A5
(604) 684-1844
Delicious. Classy. Perfect.
We were greeted with champagne because it was our birthdays. Nice! We ordered all the starters on the menu and the ceviche was a winner. All tasty though! We also ordered the gnocchi, and it was the best kind I have…More »
18. Gypsy Rose Cafe
Vancouver, BC V6J 1N3
(604) 738-3844
Categories:
Breakfast & Brunch,
Creperies
Neighbourhood: Kitsilano
Before you die you must try this one item: the maple, walnut and brie crepe at Gypsy Rose. Honestly, one of the best things ever created, next to chocolate, Spanx and world peace.

Categories:
Breakfast & Brunch,
Diners
Neighbourhood: Downtown Eastside
EAT IF YOU DARE!
This place is no place to take mom (sketchsville) but insanely cheap and serves THE BEST BURGER I've ever eaten in my whole life. I don't know what's in that meat, but I swear it must be illegal cos' it's so good. It comes with home…More »

Absolutely fabulous!
I had a special date here with my sister yesterday and we had so much fun. The first thing that impressed me was of course, the decor. Modern, vintage, clean... a great mix of styles. The staff-- two sweethearts who were so…More »

Lamb popsicles-- can't go wrong, baby!
Scalloped potato chips. OMG coolest tastiest thing ever!!! They looked like…More »
22. Romer's Burger Bar
Wow, I had such a great experience at Romers. I came for their grand opening (held months after they opened) where they served free food to the public. Nice! The best part was that I got to sample a lot of lil' things:
The Righteous Rib burger was my…More »

Category:
Vietnamese
Neighbourhoods: Grandview-Woodlands, The Drive
Came here again for the freakin' life altering peanut pho! By mid-bowl, my heart threatened to go on vacay (the broth is VERY rich) so I switched with the bf's beef stew. ALSO amazing! The stew has a sweet cinnamony broth with rich chunks of beef,…More »

24. Six Acres
Not bad!
Tina, Ty & I came here last night for a quick bite to eat. The place was packed (as were all the resto's in Maple Tree Square) and we were lucky to be seated right away at a table upstairs in the back.
The resto is low-lit, with little…More »
25. Cafe Il Nido
I have an unfair bias towards restaurants on and near Robson st. I tend to assume that businesses near touristy areas don't produce quality products... because they don't have to. WELL. I was proved wrong today at Il Nido. Meeting there for wine with…More »
26. Kasuga Sushi & Grill
*Based on the takoyaki alone*
I've been to Osaka Japan, where Takoyaki is said to be the best in the world. I indulged, eating T-balls from street vendors, restos, food courts, etc., and loved them all. Since returning to Canada, it has been hard to…More »

Categories:
Tapas/Small Plates,
Dance Clubs
Neighbourhood: Downtown
My gf and I came here on opening night at 5pm to a resto more full of camera crew than actual patrons. I'd been invited on Twitter and so thought I'd swing by to check it out. Having been in meetings since 8am, I was looking rough, so I darted to the…More »
28. REVS Bowling & Entertainment Company
Bowling, like most sporting activities, is a weak spot for me. But boy, am I good at the game called gutter ball! My own version of the game is not intentional, but let's just say at Rev's I won. GB champion. Hazaaa!!
As Mark H mentioned, the…More »

Ah. Once again a great start to my day at the BLCH. I can't get over how welcoming the staff are--they are a breath of fresh air. I also couldn't help but notice that they've pulled out all the stops here: plasma menu screens, a top of the line…More »

GET. THE. HECK. OUTTA. TOWN.
It isn't often that a mall foodcourt can serve me up excitable eats. Well, with the exception of Crystal Mall, but that's obvious. I digress. Today at miniscule Brentwood mall my hunger came on with a vengeance. I scanned…More »

Whoa and whoa.
Planning a night out with the girls? Maybe check this place out. Maybe sit in the front open area of the lobby. Maybe a mysterious person will send you 2 bottles of champagne (we still don't know who it was). Maybe cute guys will ask to…More »

Beautiful sunlit spot with wooden floors, tall ceilings and home made baked goods. A new favourite. It smelled like freshly baked cheese bread. What's not to love?
Oh and let's not forget the oatmeal... is there anything more crunchy, tasty (dare I…More »
33. Angkor Restaurant
Vancouver, BC V5N 4P5
(604) 568-0770
Category:
Cambodian
Neighbourhood: Kensington-Cedar Cottage
Alright, although no one can argue that this place replaces Phnom Penh, Angkor is still a great option if you live in East Van. Why? Great food, good prices and NO LINEUP. Now that's what I'm talking about!
I know you're wondering about the wings and…More »

Please, for the love of everything good in this world, try their macarons. Almond-flavoured mini sandwiches of delicate sweetness. One bite and I was catapulted to euphoria. Oh please, can I just have one (make that ten) more..?

Sushi Bay truly caught me off guard today and I'm impressed with their playful and creative menu. Cute items such as "Hokey Pucks On Fire" made the special rolls section a fun read. Everything sounded so good so the server enthusiastically…More »
