1. Steveston Fisherman's Wharf
Richmond, BC
Categories:
Shopping,
Local Flavour
Neighbourhood: Steveston
I love this place. But really I love any wharf where there are real fishers, selling fresh or flash frozen fish and seafood. I love the prices, I love the options, I love the fresh air but mostly I love the lack of the middle man.
Admittedly I am a…More »
2. Romania Country Bread
Uh, how did i NOT write a review for this place yet!?! I probably only get there a handful of times a year but each time I am more than happy to shell out my $10 for a loaf of crusty, dense, fresh delicious, yeasty goodness that is the romanian…More »
3. Marquis Wine Cellars

Category:
Beer, Wine & Spirits
Neighbourhood: West End
Last time my dad was in town we went to Marquis to pick up a few west coast Oregon/WA/BC bottles he couldn't get in Montreal. Let me just say that he was in BLISS at Marquis and this is saying a lot as he is wine snob extraordinaire and member of the…More »

5. Sanduz Estate Wines

6. Lulu Island Winery
You know, not bad. Clearly we aren't the target audience here (big bus tour group) but they had some pretty decent wines. They buy their grapes from the Okanagan so not sure what the point of the vineyards out back are, but nonetheless, decent…More »

Wine Bars,
Tapas/Small Plates
Neighbourhoods: Downtown, Gastown
OK, i kinda hate to say it but I really like this place. What I mean is mostly I'm mad I didn't come up with the concept before they did. Focus on booze, no full kitchen with high overhead required, Blood Alley location before it became trendy...So…More »
