Lonsdale on 15,000 Calories a Day
See All Lists
1. Montgomery's Fish & Chips
North Vancouver, BC V7M 3K7
(604) 929-8416
Category:
Seafood
Neighbourhood: Lower Lonsdale
There is a lot to like about Montgomery's:
First, it's one of the very (and I mean VERY) few fish and chips places I've found in North America which even lists mushy peas on the menu. (I know, I know: without mushy peas, it's not even worth calling…More »
2. Vinam
North Vancouver, BC V7M 3K7
(604) 988-3770
Category:
Vietnamese
Neighbourhood: Lower Lonsdale
Okay, yeah, so I've never met a cuisine I didn't like, but Vietnamese food is a particular delight for me. When I try to explain it to people who haven't tried it yet, I usually say that it's sort of like a fusion of Chinese and French cooking, but…More »
3. Thai House Restaurant
North Vancouver, BC V7M 1A3
(604) 987-9911
Category:
Thai
Neighbourhood: Lower Lonsdale
It's funny how the Thai House is so close, but I don't get there much. That's probably because most of my friends and family aren't into spicy food, and are afraid to try it, even though not all Thai food is that hot. (I will say, though, that the…More »
4. Kolbeh Deli & Restaurant
North Vancouver, BC V7M 2G9
(604) 990-0062
Categories:
Delis,
Sandwiches
Neighbourhood: Central Lonsdale
One of the very cool things about living near Lonsdale is the sheer variety of cuisines on offer. I could eat a different country's cuisine at every meal, and not repeat myself for days, maybe weeks. One of the dishes of which I am particularly fond…More »
5. AKA Tom-Bo Japanese Restaurant
North Vancouver, BC V7M 2G9
(604) 929-9999
Category:
Japanese
Neighbourhood: Central Lonsdale
There are a couple of reasons why AKA Tom-Bo stands out from the crowd of sushi restaurants in this town:
First, the goma ae. I've been to places, otherwise fairly good, where the goma ae came as a not-quite-thawed-yet cube obviously sawed off a block…More »
6. Pho 98
North Vancouver, BC V7L 2J3
(778) 340-3993
Category:
Vietnamese
Neighbourhood: Central Lonsdale
Businesses come and go along Lonsdale with alarming rapidity, but this particular location seems to be especially hard to make a go in, because this is the third business to make the attempt since I moved here. I'm hoping that it's going to be more…More »
7. Dragon Gate Chinese Restaurant
North Vancouver, BC V7M 1N6
(604) 980-8722
Category:
Chinese
Neighbourhood: Central Lonsdale
Dragon Gate was closed for a while for renovations. When I first saw the paper up over the windows, I had a little moment of panic, because so many of my favourite restaurants have shut down over the past few months. But they have now re-opened. In…More »

Dragon Gate is one of my guilty pleasures. The food isn't great, but it's good. (Certainly better… Read more »
8. Nando's Chicken
North Vancouver, BC V7M 2H7
(604) 990-1530
Categories:
Barbeque,
Portuguese
Neighbourhood: Central Lonsdale
I first ran into Nando's at the food fair at Metrotown. I loved it right away, but then, I'm a sucker for any food that requires me to wear an asbestos bib to keep from burning holes in my clothes. It was only later that I discovered that Nando's…More »
9. Casa del Caffé
North Vancouver, BC V7L 2N3
(604) 983-2223
Category:
Coffee & Tea
Neighbourhood: Central Lonsdale
Okay, I should probably say right up front that I'm not a coffee drinker, so I'm not at all fond of this whole concept of high-priced hot drinks, a very short menu of food, most of which is just too über-trendy to bear, and bitty little tables.
This…More »
10. Eighties Restaurant
North Vancouver, BC V7M 1N9
(604) 987-6654
I first tried the Eighties as I was exploring the neighbourhood shortly after moving nearby. I liked it for its decent food, friendly staff, moderate prices, and especially for its quiet atmosphere. Despite the presence of a number of TVs (including…More »
11. Kokoro Japanese Restaurant
North Vancouver, BC V7M 2J1
(604) 988-3513
Category:
Japanese
Neighbourhood: Central Lonsdale
I tried the bento box, and found a lot of reasons to like it:
First, the pieces of sashimi were more generously sized than in many sushi places I have been. Second, it came with goma ae, which I love, instead of the forgettable green salad most places…More »
12. Red Burrito
North Vancouver, BC V7M 2H9
(604) 980-0980
Category:
Mexican
Neighbourhood: Central Lonsdale
You can dress me up, but you can't take me anywhere. I'm a bit of a klutz (okay, a lot of a klutz), so if I'm enjoying my food, I usually end up decorating my shirt. (I suppose I should really start buying shirts with random splodges of colour, so…More »
13. Andreas Restaurant
North Vancouver, BC V7M 1T3
(604) 985-0414
Category:
Pizza
Neighbourhood: Central Lonsdale
I had heard about Andreas ever since moving to North Van. It always seems to make the "reader's choice" lists in the local papers, and in conversation with locals, whenever the subject of pizza comes up, they'll usually recommend Andreas.
Well, I'm…More »
14. Wrap Zone
North Vancouver, BC V7M 2J8
(604) 984-1838
Category:
Fast Food
Neighbourhood: Central Lonsdale
I was really torn which category to put Wrap Zone under. It's sort of Mexican, in that wraps seem to be descended from Burritos, but Wrap Zone makes no pretence that they are even attempting to be authentically Mexican. Nowadays it's just kind of…More »
15. Yaas Bazaar
North Vancouver, BC V7M 2J9
(604) 990-9006
Categories:
Ethnic Food,
Persian/Iranian,
Grocery,
Meat Shops
Neighbourhood: Central Lonsdale
You don't want to eat here, trust me. No, no, ignore those tantalising smells wafting out of the kitchen. Never mind that there's a lineup practically every minute the place is open. Don't even look at what's cooking on the grill, or the photos of…More »
16. Roastmastir's
North Vancouver, BC V7M 2K1
(604) 986-3000
Category:
Coffee & Tea
Neighbourhood: Central Lonsdale
I don't drink coffee, so I'm not even going to take sides in the whole debate about which coffee shop serves the best coffee. (The way I figure it, there's never going to be a final answer anyway, because different people have different tastes.…More »
17. Kfc
North Vancouver, BC V7M 2K8
(604) 984-9013
Categories:
Chicken Wings,
Fast Food
Neighbourhood: Central Lonsdale
Every month or so, I get a batch of coupons for KFC in my mailbox. But the nearest one is a fair hike from my place, so I can usually resist the temptation. (A few years ago, I lived just down the block from one, and if the wind was from that…More »
