My old-old neighbourhood full of goodness and hills!

(604) 875-8987

Category: Coffee & Tea

Neighbourhoods: Fairview Slopes, South Cambie

8/6/2009

Years and years and years ago, this was literally a stone's throw from where I lived. But back then, I wasn't addicted to caffeine and didn't venture into coffee shops very often! But I finally got my chance to take a load off here the other day,…More »

Nom, nom, nom, nom! So many sugary, buttery, rich pastries...what should I chose? That almond butter and chocolate croissant looks like it has a day's worth of carbs--let's have one of those! Okay, so there's no denying it, it was incredible...but…More »

Category: Chinese

Neighbourhood: Fairview Slopes

11/10/2009

Like walking into an entirely other place: a memory of Hong Kong perhaps, or maybe one from my childhood when my mother would take us to some hole-in-the-wall in Chinatown. Either way, the hand drawn shanghai noodles with pork and the crispy tofu…More »

Vancouver, BC V5Z 3Z1
(604) 877-1351

Category: Seafood

Neighbourhood: Granville Island/False Creek

2/27/2010

Hanging out with one of my vegan friend always teaches me a thing or two: 1) If you're vegan, you should ask what the fries are fried in (canola oil at Monk McQueens) 2) You should really eat at home, or bring a purse-snack when coming to a touristy…More »

My new go-to for take out.

Dining at 6 on a random weeknight, I was a little worried being the only table in the restaurant. Although, I thought for sure our food would be quickly delivered and we'd be in and out of there. Wrong on all counts.…More »

Disclaimer: I have no point of reference for First Nations cuisine. So this will be a "what my taste buds tasted, what my eyes saw and what my nose smelled" kind of review.

When we first walked in my eyes danced around - beautifully colourful…More »

Category: Peruvian

Neighbourhood: Fairview Slopes

4/20/2010 First to Review

It's tasty, it's friendly, it's totally hidden, inside an auto spa. It looks like a typical little cafe. The tables and chairs are uniform. But there's some subtle differences on the menu. The weekday lunch menu offers traditional paninis alongside…More »

Neighbourhood: Fairview Slopes

I am not sure why I thought this was an Asian-esque vegan restaurant. Outside of the multi-language bizarre television station Loving Hut is more westernized than anything else.

Nonetheless, even though I was craving a wide variety of stirfry…More »

There's no reason to complain about taking 2nd as a route off of Granville Island. Not only is there Barbara Jo's and Les Amis Du Fromage, but there's also home decor shopping to be had!

Enter Casa. New-ish to the neighbourhood (they moved in this…More »

So friendly! You can't help but spend a moment gabbing with the lovely woman who works here while running your hands over some beautiful mid-century pieces.

Even if retro isn't your interest, the art covered walls might be reason enough to browse.…More »

Just like selling a house, when it smells like baking you know you're going to make a sale.

The friendliest staff work here - and why wouldn't they? Not only do they get to work amongst oodles and oodles of cook books spanning every genre, but they…More »

10/27/2010 First to Review

A roam through the dark upstairs (it was night time), peering into the various studios and perusing the art lining the walls was one vibe. Partying on the mail level (bar, disco ball, DJ, dance floor) was another. Marrying the two parts of my love…More »
