1. La Belle Patate
Vancouver, BC V6E 1N4
(604) 569-1215
Categories:
Fast Food,
Poutineries
Neighbourhood: West End
I am with Leroy L. on this Heart Attack Shack.
I didn't come here for the decor nor to sit up straight with a white linen napkin placed on my lap.
I came here because I was belligerently hungover on Saturday morning and I couldn't bare the thought of…More »
2. La Brasserie
Went to La Brasserie for Dining Out For Life last night and all I have to say is... D A M N !
This is the best restaurant in the city to spy on the kitchen. The furious yet calm pace added so much to my experience. I took away a few tips to hopefully…More »

Yummy!
I wandered in on a cold rainy Vancouver night and found a warm pleasant atmosphere.
Great… Read more »
3. Doña Cata Mexican Foods
Vancouver, BC V5P 3V8
(604) 436-2232
Category:
Mexican
Neighbourhood: Kensington-Cedar Cottage
Most authentic Tacos in Vancouver!
I totally agree with Geoff G's take on Dona Cata. The service is a bit slack but they are super busy, so you can't blame them for little hiccups.
My sisters fiance was born and raised in Mexico and regularly drives…More »
4. Goldies Pizza & Beer Lounge
Cowabunga Dude.
Pizza and beer together at last!
My last visit was particularly memorable, mostly because it was around 3 am. That time at the very end of the night when you just need something in your tummy to soak up some of the excess alcohol. Mmmmm…More »
5. Memphis Blues Barbeque House
Vancouver, BC V6H 1H6
(604) 738-6806
Category:
Barbeque
Neighbourhoods: Fairview Slopes, South Granville
DIRTY GOOD!
The pulled pork is the best on the menu!
This would be an interesting first date place. I mean, if you can handle seeing someone gorge themselves making a right mess with this BBQ heavenliness. Then you have met your match!
I am tempted…More »
6. Dunbar Pizza & Grill
Vancouver, BC V6S 2C1
(604) 732-4999
Category:
Indian
Neighbourhood: Dunbar-Southlands
Thanks to Darren N, I pretended that this was a hole in the wall Indian place that I have passed by for years. (Its true, I lived a block away for two years and never stopped in!)
Today, I had the Mattar Paneer and Naan, and ya, lets just say that I…More »

Categories:
Irish,
Gastropubs
Neighbourhoods: Downtown, Gastown
I was pleasantly surprised with the food at Shabeen Room. I had a flank steak with bone marrow jus that literally filled my plate high. Maybe it was the yummy mashed potato base it was on, but who cares. It was so frikkin good. Plus, plenty of left…More »
8. Vera's Burger Shack
4 stars for Vera's Organic burger.
Yep Yelpers, if you're going to pay close to 10 bucks for a burger, why not pay a few dollars more for Organic? Trust me, there is a noticable difference in taste.
The last time a friend and I went to the shack.…More »
9. Duffin's Donuts

This weird gem has something for everyone!
Lunchtime, and you are near 41st and Knight?
Try this place!
I say Vietnamese sub, maybe a piece of fried chicken on the side (it is really good, and I DON'T eat fried chicken). And to finish off a good strong…More »

It's official.
Vancouver's best breakfast joint is...
Jethro's
Why the sudden shift of stars?
Well, I woke up Saturday on the wrong side of the bed. Actually it was a relief that I was in my bed and not the bushes outside of the house. I was hungover…More »

Almost a five star breakfast joint!
More like 4.8 stars with a side of shrooms & catfish.
Yes,… Read more »
11. Romer's Burger Bar
Well Romer... your burgers are still decent but what did you do with those tasty fries? Powdery and plain. Now they just taste like standard diner fare. Onion rings were spot on, cooked just right.
I'm still diggin the Raspberry Wheat with the patty…More »

Neighbourhood: West End
Holy Shawarma Dude, that's a big-ass Donair!
Best in BC? (that's what the Dude's sign says)... I doubt it.
But I would love to see a battle between Babylon and the Dude.
A war of sauces and tsasikis.
A duel of meat and grease.
A bitch slap of donair vs…More »
13. Peckinpah
By the sounds of it, the cooks have read a few of these reviews.
I am talking about the dryness factor here, or lack there of now.
The pulled pork was a juicy mess with the spare rib arriving they way I would expect.
The pulled pork was lacking a bit…More »

Category:
Cheesesteaks
Neighbourhoods: Downtown, Granville Entertainment District
A quick bite before the Bourdain show.
We got our cheesy delights in about ten minutes (the joint was packed) and they were pretty good eating.
Could have used a bit more sauce in the classic or some greens (the arugula number was quite nice with a…More »
16. La Taqueria Pinche Taco Shop
Sounds like the 50 cents Interac fee is no more!
I would hate to be a business owner and have to pay all the Visa/Interac fees caused by non cash carrying people like myself. But, I guess that's the price of business.
Oh well. Glad to hear I can eat…More »
