Best kept secret for lunch downtown. I suspect one of the reasons this restaurant hasn't been reviewed on Yelp is because regulars don't want to share their treasured lunch find with others! Owned and operated by Italian Kitchen, Italian Kitchen To…More »

This place is Burrard & Georgia's worst kept lunch secret. The lineup often extends around the corner, but don't be dissuaded - it moves quickly. The order takers will come to you in line with a clipboard and take your order. They have all of the…More »

Mangez Mangez is a nice place to grab a quick bite to eat, but it's best to just run in and grab something, as there isn't much in the way of ambiance (or seating if it's busy), and the staff banter I could do without.

As soon as you walk in, there…More »

I was first introduced to Delicado's while visiting Nanaimo several years ago, and was delighted upon moving to Vancouver to learn that a location had opened up in town.

The food there is unlike anything else in the city. It's basically a Southwest…More »

  Update - 12/2/2010

I tried the smoked sockeye sandwich today. Mmm I wish I hadn't waited so long to try it. Wild salmon, perfectly smoked, with a warm slaw on top. Still not loving the bun, but I will live. I declined a side of fries, but a couple of fries sneakily…More »

If you see the sign outside La Taqueria read "daily special: garlic mushroom tacos", then your decision is made: order four garlic mushroom tacos. They are little bites of savoury bliss wrapped in a delicate tortilla. The regular mushroom tacos…More »

Your take-away sandwich is wrapped in brown paper and twine, like a little gift! It's an apt presentation for the delicious baguette sandwiches on offer at Finch's, a surprising find in an area of town crowded with sushi joints and bars left over…More »
