North Shore = Best Shore

See All Lists
I've lived in North Vancouver since I moved to the left coast in 2007 and I've definitely got some tried and true favourites. If you're on my fair shore, give these a go! Also, this list is far from complete - will update it as I review more!

 1. Raglans

15 Lonsdale Ave

Categories: Breakfast & Brunch, Canadian (Traditional)

Neighbourhood: Lower Lonsdale

5.0 star rating

I love, loooove Raglan's. We generally go there for Saturday brunch, 1) because everything I've tried is really good and 2) they serve free coffee on Saturdays (go for the press of cinnamon). Standouts on the menu are their burgers, the pulled pork…More »

Whytecliff Park is one of my very most favourite places in Vancouver. I absolutely love it here, I just find it so peaceful, especially sitting out on the rocks overlooking the little bay watching seals and scuba divers play in the water. I love it…More »

Could it be? Have I found my new favourite North Van sushi restaurant?

I've only been one time, but was incredibly impressed. First impression is that the restaurant is clean and simple, and the staff friendly. The menu is pretty standard (price and…More »

North Vancouver, BC V7P 1T2
(604) 929-3000

Category: Thai

4.0 star rating
  9/15/2010

Of all the Thai restaurants I've tried in Vancouver (and specifically North Vancouver), Sweet Basil is definitely top of the list.

I can't recall what region or style of Thai they cook but it's one that definitely suits my tastebuds. The curries are…More »

Yep, Burgoo is goooood. Whether you're hitting it up for brunch, lunch or dinner there's something that will most definitely satisfy you (especially if you're heading there on a cozy, cool fall day).

Personal favourites are the mac & cheese for lunch…More »

Mmm mm mm... I've only been here for their weekend brunch buffet but it's been a couple times and they've both been delicious.

The staff here is extremely friendly (I'm pretty sure the owner thought I was cute... cause he told me... cause he's just…More »

Neighbourhood: Deep Cove

3.0 star rating
  Update - 12/22/2010

I recently got a message from the owner about a new chef (he's fancy, he used to work at places like Le Crocodile and Coast) taking over my beloved Raven so a group of us decided to check out the new menu (and make sure they hadn't messed with it too…More »

 8. Pho Japolo

2070 Marine Dr
North Vancouver, BC V7P
(604) 985-3993

Category: Vietnamese

3.0 star rating
  6/16/2010

This is one of only a few Vietnamese restaurants I know of on the North Shore, and of the ones I've tried, the most generically pleasing. I go for vermicelli bowls rather than Pho when I get a Vietnamese craving and what they serve is quite tasty.…More »

 9. Gen Sushi

Neighbourhood: Central Lonsdale

4.0 star rating
  7/14/2010

We first heard about Gen Sushi from our (most excellent) server at ZEN Sushi in West Vancouver when we asked her where she would recommend for a more reasonably priced raw fish night out.

We've since been back several times and have yet to be…More »

4.0 star rating
  9/30/2010

The boyfriend and I first came here shortly after moving to North Van as he had heard from a few people that it was one of the best pubs on our fair shore. We weren't disappointed.

It's definitely the type of place that has lots of regulars which…More »

Categories: Japanese, Sushi Bars, Asian Fusion

Neighbourhood: Ambleside

4.0 star rating
  8/14/2010

Zen is our go-to place when we both want sushi and are feeling extra fancy (ie, willing to spend WAY more than we normally would on sushi, especially on the north shore).

I really and truly love it here. Yes, the food is expensive, but it's also…More »

Neighbourhood: Central Lonsdale

4.0 star rating
  8/7/2010

Mmm... delicious!

This place is an absolute treat. So many delicious gelatos! So hard to choose! It can be a bit confusing to order since you have to buy your scoops beforehand (1, 2 or 3? cup or cone?) and when it's busy it's a bit of a gong show to…More »

The boyfriend has been bugging me for a while to try this place and we finally made it down this week.

We managed to come on a non-busy night (Wednesday), which was nice. First impression is that it's small, dark but cozy with a kitschy, dated vibe…More »

Category: Dim Sum

4.0 star rating
  6/27/2010

Came here for Saturday dim sum and it was quite good. Like Peter said, the prices aren't as good as you can find in Vancouver but it's also a hell of a lot easier to get a seat and find parking. Plus, you're on the North Shore! Bonus points right…More »

Can I tell you a story?

When we first moved to North Van we were intrigued by the 80s Restaurant. What can it be? Is it kitschy and ironically 80s? Are there 80 items on the menu? Hmm!

We went in and discovered, no, it was just a restaurant opened in…More »

Whenever possible I prefer to take my cats to cat only vets, so I was extremely pleased to discover a well-established one on the North Shore when I moved to Vancouver.

I've never been dissatisfied with the service I've received from this clinic.…More »

Not only does this bakery make the seabus terminal smell delicious, it lives up to the expectation.

This is a cute little place that feels like a calm oasis in what can be a really hectic area. I've been a couple times and plan to go back more just to…More »
