1. Hawkers Delight Deli
Vancouver, BC V5V 3P6
(604) 709-8188
Categories:
Malaysian,
Singaporean
Neighbourhood: Riley Park
Om nom nom! I love Hawkers! I crave this place all the time. I really wish I had got an extra dish to take home for my lunch. Damn!
Thinking of Hawkers takes me back over 4 years ago when I lived a few blocks away. Me and my roommate would wander up…More »
2. Quejo's Cheesebuns
Vancouver, BC V5V 3P6
(604) 420-0832
Categories:
Bakeries,
Gluten-Free
Neighbourhood: Riley Park
I loooove this place, and I don't even need to eat a GF or DF diet anymore! I still pop in to grab some buns and treats for my cousin, and when I do I get a little snack for myself.
The buns are flavourful, chewy, and delightful. I don't know why…More »
3. The Locus
Vancouver, BC V5V 3P6

Categories:
Canadian (New),
Lounges
Neighbourhood: Riley Park
A long time favourite of mine. I hadn't been back for some time, but I am sure glad it is just as good as when I used to come regularly.
Actually, I think this place has improved over the years. The Locus used to be known for dreadfully slow…More »
4. Front & Company
Vancouver, BC V5V 3N7
(604) 879-8431
Categories:
Used, Vintage & Consignment,
Accessories,
Women's Clothing
Neighbourhood: Riley Park
This place is a must visit on any Main Street shopping adventure!
Still kicking myself for not buying the gorgeous camel Marc Jacobs wool coat I saw in December, I stopped in yesterday hoping to find something to wear to VFW. And to my pleasure I…More »
5. Life of Riley
Vancouver, BC V5V 3N6
(604) 876-7655
Category:
Women's Clothing
Neighbourhood: Riley Park
Another great Main Street clothing boutique. Local designers and unique clothes are what bring me in. They also carry a selection of Dish Jeans which fit me well.
The coats they carry are just beautiful and fun, though I have never purchased one, I…More »
6. Brewery Creek Liquor Store
Vancouver, BC V5T 3G6
(604) 872-3373
Category:
Beer, Wine & Spirits
Neighbourhood: Mount Pleasant
I was tempted to give 5, but held off because of the price point. But they get top marks for selection!
I used to live near this place when it was still just the tiny beer store. Now that they have expanded they have so much more to offer.
Why do I…More »
7. Red Cat Records
I LOVE Red Cat. I wouldn't say they are the absolute best, but they do a damn good job and the staff are always really nice (not pretentious). I like the layout of the new shop and think it is fabulous that they have managed to stay open in this…More »
8. Three Bags Full
Having been to this shop many times, I was super impressed on my last visit. Other times I have been less impressed. It depends who is working.
Anyhow, this review gets 4 stars thanks to the lovely girl that helped me find a wool that would work for…More »
9. Urban Source
Vancouver, BC V5T 3G7
(604) 875-1611
Category:
Art Supplies
Neighbourhood: Mount Pleasant
A cute little shop with a rotating stock of fun surprises.
There is a little bit of everything in this place. It's a great place to find materials to make your own cards as well as super cool art projects for kids. This store makes me wish I was…More »
10. Burgoo Bistro
Vancouver, BC V5T 3G5
(604) 873-1441
Category:
Canadian (Traditional)
Neighbourhood: Mount Pleasant
I love Burgoo. Burgoo makes my tummy so happy. I crave the grilled cheese here like no other grilled cheese (exception: in BC that is... I have had others that are even better). It seems as though they have started skimping on the cheese in the…More »

Try the milkshakes. Just do it. Raaaallllggg... Peanut butter and chocolate? Yes please!
Recommendations: Sit at the bar. Chat with the friendly bar tender. Then turn around and look at the top of the wall behind you. And if you are curious, ask…More »

Not bad, not bad. If you can manage to squeeze in, and don't mind the abundance of hipsters, grab… Read more »

Categories:
Canadian (New),
Tapas Bars
Neighbourhood: Mount Pleasant
I'm still loving this place after all these years. Our floor hockey team is becoming a regular fixture here when our group size is small enough. The service is always excellent, friendly, and efficient. The food is really great, and the prices are…More »

I like the renovations that were done. It's kinda loungey feeling, and there are some intimate… Read more »
13. Sun Sui Wah Seafood Restaurant
Vancouver, BC V5V 3N9
(604) 872-8822
Lunch time on a weekday seems to be the time to go. We did not suffer from a lack of service the other reviewers have mentioned. The service was friendly and helpful the whole time.
I really enjoyed my dim sum here. Normally my morals get in the…More »
14. The Whip Restaurant Gallery
Vancouver, BC V5T 1J7
(604) 874-4687
Categories:
Bars,
Canadian (Traditional)
Neighbourhood: Mount Pleasant
Best veggie burger I have had in ages. The patty is made there and has beets in it!
No extra charge for yam fries is a win.
Service is still sloooow. But friendly.
Cans of Lucky have gone up to $3.75. Islanders and hipsters, shed a tear.
Despite…More »

Breakfast & Brunch

I came here for brunch to use up some Groupons and was actually really impressed. I liked the decor, as it was cozy but not dark and gloomy. There was an air of retro but also contemporary, and everything felt good. The purple bathroom is also…More »
