Restaurants worth a second visit
See All Lists
1. Calli Restaurante Mexicano
Cute, clean family-run Mexican hole-in-the-wall. Beware, I think they close at 8 pm on a Friday night. I think I squeaked in just before they closed but never felt rushed to leave.
Warm, fresh tortilla wraps - yay ! I enjoyed the chicken mole here…More »
2. Judas Goat Taberna
Vancouver, BC V6B
(604) 681-5090
Categories:
Spanish,
Tapas/Small Plates
Neighbourhoods: Downtown, Gastown
I have a lot of respect for someone who can take a 300 sq ft place in the middle of a urine-soaked alley and turn it into a trendy, foodie-bound money-making machine. While I haven't been tempted to try out Salt, my love of tapas drove me venture…More »
3. Bonchaz Bakery Café
Vancouver, BC V6B 1L1

Local Flavour
Neighbourhood: Downtown
Bon buns! Their specialty is Mexican buns - I can't say I've had an authentic Mexican bun, but whatever this is it's good. It really is similar to a Chinese Pineapple bun, except with fillings. The top crust is supposed to be coffee flavoured,…More »
4. GMen Ramen Shop - CLOSED
Solid choice for ramen in Richmond.
I'm liking these new "soupless" options! It would be more accurate to call them saucy though.. The tonkatsu soupless option here is $8.50 and comes with half an egg, pork (too fatty for me), chopped green onion,…More »
5. Grub
Vancouver, BC V5V 3P9
(604) 876-8671
Categories:
Canadian (New),
Italian
Neighbourhood: Riley Park
Grub has got to be the quintessential neighbourhood gem. Cute, modern, casual and surprisingly off the radar of major reviews, this place feels like the unsung hero of Main St - but it has definitely been discovered by locals and beyond.
There's no…More »
6. Gyo-O
Richmond, BC V6X
(604) 295-4072
Categories:
Japanese,
Sushi Bars
Neighbourhood: Golden Village
Udon specialties - comforting on blustery winter days!
I sort of enjoyed the decor, felt like I was almost in a wacky Japanese game show.. or maybe it was due to the early 90's Japanese tv programming they had showing.
The tastes were good.. and…More »
7. Uva Wine Bar
Vancouver, BC V6B 2L9
(604) 632-9560
Perfect, rich, earthy wild mushroom risotto here last night. Definitely a winter comfort food, I'm craving another plate of it already.
Incredibly creamy and generously topped with shavings of parmesan, I hope they keep this variation of their…More »

8. Sushi Oyama
Burnaby, BC V5H 2E8
(604) 568-1012
Categories:
Japanese,
Sushi Bars
Neighbourhood: Metrotown
Surpisingly fresh, good quality sushi in a hard-to-notice location on Kingsway. It's the restaurant that looks like a house that used to be a Korean restaurant and also has a sketchy karaoke joint in the basement. Luckily the restaurant is upstairs…More »
9. Toratatsu - CLOSED
Vancouver, BC V6G 2L6
(604) 685-9399
Categories:
Japanese,
Tapas Bars
Neighbourhood: West End
It's been a while since I was here and I'm glad to see it's so much busier! Maybe a bit too busy :) Definitely a celebratory mood and more bar-like atmosphere than before.
Loved the fresh fruit smash with soju - tried the mango and the strawberry,…More »
10. Pourhouse Restaurant
Vancouver, BC V6B 1B2
(604) 568-7022
Categories:
Lounges,
Canadian (Traditional)
Neighbourhoods: Downtown, Gastown
Pourhouse instantly makes you feel more refined the minute you step inside - it must be the jazzy 1920's dark wood ambiance. Great job renovating from the old Flux days.
The mirrors make the place feel much larger than it really is and the exposed…More »
11. Trattoria Kitchen
Loud, lively and crowded on a Sunday night! If that doesn't sound like your cup of tea, I'd stay away unless you want to get to the restaurant before 6.
I really enjoy the service here - the manager comes by to check on you personally, our waitress…More »
12. Balilicious Modern Indonesian
Vancouver, BC V5Z 2W8
(604) 709-8150
Category:
Indonesian
Neighbourhoods: South Cambie, Riley Park
This place has been here for a while and I finally paid them a visit last week. Nice, cozy neighbourhood restaurant with friendly staff.
Had the chendu drink/dessert - pandan jelly (very similar to coconut jelly, except green), with lots of cream and…More »
13. Bouchon
Las Vegas, NV 89109
USA
(702) 414-6200
Category:
French
Neighbourhood: The Strip
Dessert for breakfast!!
I had the apple French toast this time around and it was delicious - a syrupy soaked tower, bread pudding style, layered with baked apples and garnished with fresh slices of apple. I wish I could've had a scoop of vanilla ice…More »
