This is my first visit post-fire (their 3rd fire I think) to Parthenon. The store looks a little more upscale than it did pre-fire but the breadth of merchandise appears to have remained the same.
They continue to have a nice variety of all things…More »
Is the honeymoon already over?
I returned to Harvest Deli Friday just before noon to try another sandwich from their extensive menu. The chef/owner was sitting at a cafe table in front. I asked him if the deli was open for business. He said that he…More »
If you love a good sandwich then this is a place you need to give a try.

Unless you want to fill your stomach, there really isn't a lot to this festival.
I was frankly disappointed with the lack of Greek cultural stuff. Other than a few people dressed up like ancient Greeks, there wasn't much happening. When we arrived…More »
The store's tagline is sugar and spice and all things nice. It is located right next to Cafe Artigiano on Broadway. The window display is attractive. All looks promising and I can't wait to enter. Alas, the inside this store bears a resemblance to a…More »
Dining here was like the "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly".
We ordered the beef vindaloo, chicken korma, rice and naan.
The good:
We received a friendly greeting upon entering and outstanding service throughout our meal. The decor was warm and fairly…More »

My husband needed a new waterproof shell so we decided to hit all of the outdoor apparel stores along this section of Broadway. I think it was shopping fatigue that led us to buy the jacket here, not because this store was exceptionally good.

Solid middle of the road ramen.
I had the Shoyu Ramen with extra sprouts. My husband had the Miso with extra sprouts and spinach. I thought my ramen was a little skimpy on the noodles but the few that were there had a nice chew to them. The broth was…More »

You have been a little skimpy on portion size lately Al Basha!

Hoshi is clean, the service is decent and they are consistent in delivering fresh, well-made tasty sushi.
Our standard order is Negitoro Maki, Spicy Tuna Roll, Unagi Roll, Inari and Miso Soup and we have never been disappointed after many visits and…More »
It seems that we have a lot of neighbours who grew up in this neighbourhood and never left. When we speak to them about food they always speak very highly about Olympia Pizza which has been a fixture in this part of town since the 60's. We decided…More »

It is nice to find a place with a broad selection of work by Canadian artists without having to go to Granville Island. Oh! Brothers carries woodwork, jewelry, pottery, glassware, textiles, paintings, prints, leatherwork and First Nation art work.

I work for a realtor who has used In Print for over a year now for all of our marketing materials - feature sheets, just listed cards, just sold cards, business cards, presentation folders, stationery, etc.

With the permanent closure of the Frog & Firkin up the block we decided to pop in to the Regal Beagle with a couple of friends for a few drinks after dinner. The bar is essentally 2 separate rooms with the kitchen on the left and the bar on the…More »

I was excited to spot this pet store open in what I think was the former location of the clothing store called Ingenue. There really is not much for pets in this part of town since the Three Dog Bakery moved up to Point Grey.
As much as I would love…More »
Yuck. Sometimes even a super-cheap price can't overcome the fact that the food is realllllllly bad.
There wasn't a customer in the place when I arrived shortly before noon. I ordered a slice of spicy chicken, a slice of pesto cheese and a soda. Thank…More »
I started coming here after a few less than good experiences at Sha Lin and now I wouldn't dream of going anyplace else for my shaved or hand-pulled noodles.
After trying numerous different dishes on the menu, which were all very good, we have settled…More »

This was the first of many more visits to Cru.
I loved the decor, it is modern and understated while still managing to be warm and comfortable.
The organic greens salad with the vinaigrette dressing was nothing to write home about although it was…More »

I can't say that I had given much thought about the flavour of Transylvanian food before but after passing by this place about 100 times we decided to bite ;-).
What a pleasant surprise! The decor is nondescript but the service was welcoming and…More »
As someone who doesn't eat mammals, a dinner out at a burger joint usually doesn't hold much appeal, that is, until I experienced the turkey burger at Moderne Burger. The moist, flavourful turkey burger is made for the owner to his specifications so…More »

I have a love-hate relationship with this place. This former Dan-D market has every Dan-D product at very good prices and excellent deals on bulk goods, spices and packaged organics. However, their fresh produce is not very good and their sales…More »
I'm being VERY charitable with my 3 only because we paid $28 per person with Dine Out.
The decor is charming and clearly conveys the atmosphere of a bistro in France. We received a friendly greeting upon arrival and had our choice of seating. We…More »
