1. Fraserview Tandoori House & Meat Shop
I have thus far only tried their butcher shop meats and not their takeout items.
The meats available at this butcher shop are really inexpensive. What a great way to bargain shop for top quality meat.
The marinated, ready-to-grill items are my…More »

We've heard about this place so many times and gone by it many times more and it is just now that we've finally made it in for a delicious lunch.
One of the best Vietnamese subs I've ever had.
Vietnamese style deep fried spring rolls were amazing as…More »
3. Pho Tan
Delicious Vietnamese cuisine and friendly, quick service.
Both the pho and the curries are absolutely delicous. The curry beef brisket melted in my mouth.
Looking forward to returning to Pho Tan.

5. The Main Restaurant
***THREE AND A HALF STARS***
Great local eatery slash bar slash music venue.
It is a moderately sized establishment which means that it doesn't hold huge crowds - just crowds large enough to enjoy the music, the food, and each others' company without…More »

(604) 873-8169
Neighbourhood: Riley Park
If you can't get out to the Buddha Worshipping Material City out on the Kingsway, this is the place to go. Very good stock and everything you and your ancestors might need.
8. The Grind & Gallery Coffee Bar
Coffee is decent. Service is average.
Not a bad choice for late night coffee and/or sweet craving.
They used to have art up on the wall from local artists; last time I was in, there was none. They should (if they haven't already) return to this as it…More »

10. Lucky's Comics
When you walk into Lucky's, it's important that you walk directly to the back of the store without looking left or right. Otherwise, you'll end up blowing your book budget before you get the door closed.
Their buying policy is superlative; the trick…More »
11. The Regional Assembly of Text
Vancouver, BC V5V 3P2
(604) 877-2247
Category:
Cards & Stationery
Neighbourhood: Riley Park
The R.A.T. is the kind of a place that a poet/typography-junky would think of as heaven.
And that's what it is: not so much text as type; letters in combination with other letters and with graphics. The whole combination is quite inspired; is…More »
12. Sun Sui Wah Seafood Restaurant
Vancouver, BC V5V 3N9
(604) 872-8822
Very good dim-sum. Wonderful space. This is a very busy restaurant, sometimes overwhelming. But always an enjoyable meal.

You know how some game places are commercial and overlit and have the same old games and so-so staff?

19. Pulpfiction Books
pulpfiction is definitely the place to go for recently published books.

20. Chutney Villa South Indian Cuisine
We've planned to try this place for a while and I have no good reason why we didn't. Now that I have, I am SURE we will return again and again.

Wandered in here late Sunday afternoon for a late lunch. We'd gone into starvation mode where our ability to make good choices, or any choice, is severely diminished. We had originally vowed to find the first parking space and go to the restaurant…More »
