1. Boneta Restaurant
Vancouver, BC V6B 1A5
(604) 684-1844
* Microcosm of Vancouver *
This spot is truly a microcosm of Vancouver. It is located in one of the poorest postal codes in Canada, but offers good food in a casual atmosphere at mid-range fine dining prices. How Vancouver!
I have to say when reading…More »
2. Yu Kee BBQ Kitchen
Vancouver, BC V5S 1J9
(604) 438-8999
* Delicious Chinese BBQ *
There are a lot of places around Vancouver to get Chinese BBQ. Each has its own strengths and weaknesses.
This little spot in a rather off the beaten path shopping centre has excellent BBQ duck and BBQ pork.
The BBQ duck had…More »
3. Cathay Pacific
* A quick Hong Kong roundtrip in photos *
On the outbound they put on one of the old classic 747's instead of the newer 777 which was on the return. I do like the privacy of the first class cabin on the 747 better, even though it is older equipment.…More »

Ok, Cathay had been slipping quite a bit lately, but the last few flights have… Read more »

Category:
Latin American
Neighbourhoods: Downtown, Gastown
* Consistent *
Went back for another dinner here to check out the consistency.
Had some of the same dishes as last time, and some new ones as well.
The highlight of the new dishes I tried was the scallop dish. These were very large scallops which…More »

5. Acacia Fillo Bar
Vancouver, BC V6G 2M7
(604) 633-3884
Categories:
Ethnic Food,
Breakfast & Brunch
Neighbourhood: West End
* Lovely little Bulgarian cafe with freshly baked banitsa, burek, and fillos *
This little "fillo bar" run by a couple originally from Bulgaria is something I used to always pass by and just never wandered in. I'm an idiot! I should have explored it…More »
6. New Sam PO Meat & BBQ
Vancouver, BC V5V 3E4
(604) 879-1068
Category:
Meat Shops

Reasonably priced Chinese butcher. Their BBQ pork is very good as a quick take-out snack.
7. Sweeney's of Yaletown - CLOSED
Vancouver, BC V6B 2R9
(604) 689-4505
Category:
Sandwiches
Neighbourhoods: Downtown, Yaletown
* Nice casual upscale sandwich lunch spot *
Popped in for lunch, and was pleasantly surprised by the variety of sandwich options.
I had the crispy duck confit sandwich, which had a generous portion of duck confit served on a nice crunchy sesame bun…More »
8. Maenam
* High quality - just don't be afraid to add a little seasoning and spice! *
Ok, so while I was flying around Asia I had been wondering how Maenam's opening went and couldn't wait to get back to try it. I'm back and finally made it! Seems we have a…More »

9. Pacific Exotic Meat
Richmond, BC V6X 1A7
(604) 273-4846
Category:
Meat Shops
Neighbourhood: Golden Village
Have you ever seen an old movie called the Freshman with Marlon Brando and Matthew Broderick? This store could have been their main supplier for their rather unique exotic animal dining business.
This is one of those cases where a store's name…More »
10. Teemway Seafood Company
Vancouver, BC V5P 3Y2
(604) 327-7481
Category:
Seafood Markets
Neighbourhood: Fraserview
* Full contact meat and seafood market *
I know the name of this place sounds like it would focus on seafood. Actually it sounds like it would be a seafood shop controlled by the Teamsters. They did have trucks parked out back that were loading up…More »
11. Che Baba Cantina
Vancouver, BC V5T 3K5
(604) 558-1518
Categories:
Mediterranean,
Yoga,
French
Neighbourhood: Mount Pleasant
* Skinny cantina *
Not a likely combination - except perhaps in Vancouver. This is half yoga studio, half cantina with an open kitchen.
Thankfully they keep the yoga and cantina with separate entrances so the cantina just feels like a cafe with lots…More »
12. Cheung's Chiu Chow Restaurant
Richmond, BC V6X 1C3
(778) 898-8428
Category:
Chinese
Neighbourhood: Golden Village
* Bizarre service *
The place had only 2 other tables, but when I walked in the waitress looked at me and didn't say anything. Just ignored me. Ok.
I waited about 2 minutes and then decided it must be seat yourself and started walking towards a…More »
13. West Restaurant + Bar
Vancouver, BC V6H 3J4
(604) 738-8938
Categories:
Restaurants,
Bars
Neighbourhoods: Fairview Slopes, South Granville
* One last chance *
I didn't want to give up on West, as it used to be one of my favourite fine dining spots in the city. So even though I was underwhelmed last time I thought I should return and give one last try at the full tasting menu.
Here's the…More »
