1. Nooch Snack & Chill
Richmond, BC V6V 2R3
(778) 297-4757
Categories:
Breakfast & Brunch,
Modern European,
Sandwiches
Working in a completely soulless area of East Richmond, it's hard to find places to eat lunch nearby, but a co-worker and I had noticed Nooch on a recent drive-by and decided to drop in. Actually, I found a coupon for a 2-for-1 deal they were running…More »
2. Aree Thai
Vancouver, BC V5V 3C8
(604) 709-9229
Category:
Thai
Neighbourhood: Kensington-Cedar Cottage
I've said it before, but I'll say it again: hidden gem, people!! I feel quite fortunate to have Aree Thai in my 'hood, as the vicious Pad Thai cravings I'm prone to meet their maker here.
The chefs are brought over from Thailand, and so the food…More »

My dining companion and I have been itching to try out Aree Thai since we first saw it open in my… Read more »
3. Trilussa Pizza and Pane
A wonderful, happy palace of pizza. So many delicious sounding options, and if they don't have a pizza ready-made with your choice of toppings, they'll gladly make one for you if you're willing to wait the extra 10 minutes. My one gripe is that the…More »
4. Heidi's Cafe
I don't know who Heidi is, but I like her already. I was super excited to try this cafe because: 1) the reviews were fantastic, 2) it's close to my place of residence (East Van represent!), 3) it brings together my boyfriend's love of greasy…More »
5. 2 Chefs and a Table
So happy that another viable lunch option opened in the area! The slew of industrial and office complexes with no delicious food options in sight is fairly depressing, and more so in the dreary, cold, rainy, latter part of the year.
A coworker and I…More »
6. Ro Sushi Japanese Bistro
Vancouver, BC V5Z 1E9
(604) 876-9899
Categories:
Japanese,
Sushi Bars
Neighbourhood: Fairview Slopes
This is what a typical week looks like for me:
-Monday: curse the weekend for not being longer as I crawl out of bed bleary-eyed. Think about all the delicious food I consumed on the weekend as I get ready for work.
-Tuesday: wish the work week would…More »
7. Tandoori Kona
Oh man...I'm still thinking about my dinner here the next morning (in the good way, not the bad way), which is a tell-tale sign that it was an amazing meal. My curry-consuming companion and I had been itching to try Tandoori Kona after reading all…More »
8. Veggie Bunch Restaurant Ltd
My buffet binging companion and I hit up Veggie Bunch for some all-you-can-eat action on our way to the airport...because nothing says "goodbye, Vancouver" more than eating massive quantities of food at a hole-in-the-wall Chinese spot. The ambiance…More »
9. El Taco
Vancouver, BC V6Z 1B6
(604) 806-0300
Category:
Mexican
Neighbourhoods: Downtown, Granville Entertainment District
Every time I eat here, I see at least two people walk by, stop, look over the menu posted outside, ponder for a moment, and usually move on. As I sit inside nomming on my delicious burrito, I consider it a success any time someone decides "oh, what…More »
10. Nuba Restaurant
Vancouver, BC V6B 1H7
(604) 688-1655
Categories:
Middle Eastern,
Mediterranean
Neighbourhood: Downtown
Hi, Nuba. Can I get in on a piece of the reviewing action?
I've been to this location on a number of occasions, and have never been disappointed. The menu here has a broad appeal - vegans, vegetarians, omnivores and hardcore carnivores will all find…More »
11. Bob Likes Thai Food
You know you keep weird hours when you often head to a restaurant for a meal only to find that it's closed between lunch and dinner. Can there be any disappointment greater than looking forward to eating, only to being met by a closed door??…More »
12. Bonchaz Bakery Café
Vancouver, BC V6B 1L1
(604) 626-7215
Categories:
Coffee & Tea,
Sandwiches,
Bakeries,
French,
Local Flavour
Neighbourhood: Downtown
I have mixed feelings about Bonchaz. While there are many things I like about it, it's so inconsistent.
Bonchaz serves up some of my favourite things: soups, sandwiches, coffee, tea, and baked goods. I've tried a little bit of everything, and nothing…More »
13. Foundation
I avoided coming here for a long time, even after hearing good things about it - not because I feel like things are immediately rendered uncool by virtue of being liked by a large number of people, but because the lines and crowds associated with…More »
14. La Grotta Del Formaggio
Vancouver, BC V5N 4A4
(604) 255-3911
Categories:
Delis,
Sandwiches
Neighbourhoods: Grandview-Woodlands, The Drive
My better half has to keep a close eye on me if we're strolling down the Drive and not looking to eat, as I have a hard time walking past La Grotta and not going in to get a sandwich.
I absolutely adore the sandwiches here. I don't care if it's…More »
15. Finch's Tea & Coffee House
Vancouver, BC V6B 1T3
(604) 899-4040
Categories:
Coffee & Tea,
Sandwiches
Neighbourhood: Downtown
Finch's was one of the first places my now constant eating companion and I ever ate together, and for that reason alone will always be dear to my heart. But all corniness aside, the brie and grape baguette is - to put it mildly - life changing. I've…More »
16. Tung Hing Bakery
Vancouver, BC V5V 3C8
(604) 875-3394
Categories:
Bakeries,
Vietnamese,
Sandwiches
Neighbourhood: Kensington-Cedar Cottage
My favourite banh mi in Vancouver. It also helps that I live within walking distance! I love that they have a vegetarian option that is delicious and filling (seriously though, what's with the "hot peppers" here? I don't even think they register on…More »
