* Wait - you'll give me free travel just for eating where I normally eat?!?!?! *
This company is behind all of the airline frequent flyer dining programs, and it is a lovely surprise when I check my frequent flyer miles to find that some of the…More »
2. Cobre
Vancouver, BC V6A 1E7
(604) 669-2396
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 »

Have you ever had an incredibly good server that was truly… Read more »

Vancouver, BC V6E

Categories:
Mediterranean,
Tapas/Small Plates
Neighbourhood: West End
* Solid reasonably priced tapas bar *
I love small neighbourhood places like this. The kind that you can easily miss if you don't climb the stairs that look like a private staircase, and walk through the door that hides this little restaurant from…More »
4. 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 »

5. Nuba Restaurant
Vancouver, BC V6B 1H7
(604) 688-1655
Categories:
Middle Eastern,
Mediterranean
Neighbourhood: Downtown
* Just like on Seymour - but with more space and table service! *
I like this space. At lunch time it has all of the same food (and at the same quality) as the smaller Nuba on Seymour (http://www.yelp.ca/biz...), but has more of a restaurant feel…More »
6. The Nuba Café
Vancouver, BC V6B 3N9
(778) 371-3266
Categories:
Middle Eastern,
Mediterranean
Neighbourhoods: Downtown, Granville Entertainment District
This is a wholesome Lebanese casual eatery. A step above the majority of other similar type places in Vancouver. Their housemade hot sauce is a welcome addition to many of their dishes. The way they really differentiate themselves is the freshness…More »
7. 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 »
8. Piato Estiatorio - CLOSED
Ok, I think that perhaps they have gotten their act together since some of the earlier reviews. Ate there today, and really really liked it.
The sleek modern space is a welcome change from the majority of other Greek places around town that could…More »
9. Benjie's Deli
* The Deli Curse *
I'm cursed.
Being born in New York I am programmed to crave brisket on rye, a potato knish, and cel-rey soda. But living on the West Coast it is hard to scratch that itch.
On a trip to OC I had heard that Benjie's was the place…More »

Portland, OR 97210
USA
(503) 220-0406
Category:
Mexican
Neighbourhoods: Alphabet District, Northwest
* Everything in perspective.... *
Continuing my theme for the Portland visit, keeping everything in perspective in the context of living in Vancouver, BC.....So subtract a star if you live in California or Texas....
I've mentioned before that Vancouver…More »
11. Harambe Restaurant
Vancouver, BC V5N 4B3
(604) 216-1060
Category:
Ethiopian
Neighbourhoods: Grandview-Woodlands, The Drive
* Decent Ethiopian *
I had been hearing this was the place to go for Ethiopian/Eritrean food in town. I kept meaning to check it out and finally got to have lunch there.
I took the Chef's Choice sampler which included a variety of meats and veggie…More »
12. Charm Modern Thai and Bar
* 2nd strike *
Ok, I've been having that Thai hankering and it still hasn't been fulfilled. (Anxiously awaiting Maenam (http://www.yelp.ca/biz...) to scratch that itch - please don't let me down!)
But today, being a holiday and all, I figured I would…More »

Ok. Tried it out today. They clearly are not firing on all cylinders yet. There was a lot of… Read more »
13. Chilli House Thai Bistro
* Warning: Bitching and moaning ahead *
Why oh why is the Thai food in Vancouver all below par?
I'm putting high hopes on Angus An's opening of Maenam (http://www.yelp.ca/biz...) sometime later this month.
But while thinking about the pending…More »
14. Vera's Burger Shack
Their story: "You can't beat Vera's meat."
My version: "Let Vera beat her own thin shrivilled meat, and don't make me watch!"
Now that we've got the silly marketing out of the way, let's turn to the burgers. I've tried them a few times, and have…More »
15. Willie's Taste of Soul Bar-B-Que
* Disappointing on so many levels *
The story of my disappointment after ordering a mixed plate lunch special:
1) Was asked for level of preferred heat on the sauce. I said hot. I got something that had no heat at all. It was just like baked bean…More »
16. The Taco Shack
I really really really want to like this place. Really!
Vancouver is not a city for Mexican food. So you might think opening a really good Mexican place would be a sure thing. But Taco Shack doesn't try to make Mexican food. They aim to replicate…More »

Category:
Burgers
Neighbourhoods: Downtown, Granville Entertainment District
* Please don't call that poutine! *
I tried the "poutine" here. And I put that in quotes for a reason.
My issues:
1) Some sort of non-decipherable fully melted cheese ala cheese fries or bad tex-mex nachos.
2) Unexplainable amounts of steam coming…More »
