1. Japa Dog
Vancouver, BC V6B 2B7
(604) 809-4333
I've discovered my favourite Japa dog, and it doesn't even have meat! A must, must try is their Choco Banana sweet dog.
Wow, wow, wow. What a brilliant Japanese-engineered work of art. Perfect dougnut-like 'bun' sprinkled with sugar contains a…More »

5/30/2010 First to Review
So I finally tried THE Dog. Japa Dog that is. Opening it doors last Friday (May 28th), this is Japa… Read more »
2. Salvatore's La Spaghetteria
I've been here a few times and it is amazing every time. They make all their pasta and bread fresh. You can actually watch them make it inside. Prices are very reasonable for the freshness and large portions. Their couples seafood platter is amazing…More »
3. Café Medina
Vancouver, BC V6B 2L3
(604) 879-3114
Category:
Breakfast & Brunch
Neighbourhood: Downtown
4.5/5 average over 110 Yelp reviews, can you go wrong? Nope. We started by sharing a waffle and I think raspberry caramel sauce. Waffle could have been fresher, but the sauce was scrumptious.
I went for the Fricasse which features none other than the…More »
4. Memphis Blues Barbeque House
Vancouver, BC V6H 1H6
(604) 738-6806
Category:
Barbeque
Neighbourhoods: Fairview Slopes, South Granville
Messy, tender, BBQ happiness. Memphis Blues hits the spot of every carnivore (I love the staff's 'No Vegetarians' shirts).
While ordering at the counter, I showed the server how to change a keg since she couldn't figure it out. I've only done it a few…More »
5. Campagnolo
Vancouver, BC V6A
(604) 484-6018
Category:
Italian
Neighbourhoods: Downtown, Strathcona
Nestled in the dingy but ever improving downtown main st district, Campagnolo is a refreshing addition. A little pricey for what you get, but the taste is there. Of all things, last time I tried their anchovy pizza and surprisingly it was amazing!…More »
6. Café Deux Soleils
Vancouver, BC V5N 4B2
(604) 254-1195
Categories:
Coffee & Tea,
Vegetarian,
Breakfast & Brunch
Neighbourhoods: Grandview-Woodlands, The Drive
My good friend from Sweden is vegetarian so I thought we'd try this place out. I had their veggie burger was was spectacular! Inside it had tofu steaks, the veggie 'meat', alfalfa sprouts, pineapple and maybe i missed something. The taste was unreal.…More »
7. La Taqueria
Vancouver, BC V6B 1K6
(604) 568-4406
Category:
Mexican
Neighbourhood: Downtown
Based on the super positive Yelp reviews, I took a shot at this place tonight.
Initially we walked passed the place as they didn't have the sandwich board out, but anyhow. Walking in we were greeted by the friendly owner. Small place with stool…More »
8. Artisan Sakemaker
Vancouver, BC V6H 4G9
(604) 685-7253
After being disappointed by the House of Switzerland grand opening, I stumbled upon this place after walking down Railspur Alley. Their sign "$2 sake tasting" immediately drew me in.
I can't say I know much about sake. The few times I tried it at…More »
9. La Casa Gelato
Vancouver, BC V6A 3R9
(604) 251-3211
Category:
Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt
Neighbourhood: Strathcona
What can I say, endless flavour choices from wall to wall to wall. It usually takes me a good 20 min to choose a flavour as there are just so many. Always a hot spot during the summer.
I like the decor as the walls are covered in waffle cones and…More »
10. Uncle Fatih's Pizza - CLOSED
It was a sunny Olympic day and I wanted to avoid the crowds, so I headed on down to English Bay for lunch. I guess it's been ages since I been as I noticed several 'new' restaurants. To my surprise I spotted 'Uncle Fatih's Pizza', my decision where…More »
11. Harambe Restaurant
Vancouver, BC V5N 4B3
(604) 216-1060
Category:
Ethiopian
Neighbourhoods: Grandview-Woodlands, The Drive
Tired from resorting to binging on sushi this week, I wanted to try something 100% new to me. The only thing that came to mind was something African. So I hopped on Yelp and Harambe immediately popped up.
After walking the trails of Lynn Valley all…More »
12. Au Petit Chavignol
Vancouver, BC V6A 1R8
(604) 255-4218
Categories:
Wine Bars,
Cheese Shops
Neighbourhood: Downtown Eastside
Do you know what raclette is? Neither did I before coming here. Food guru aka my brother from Chicago was in town so we meandered through the quite interesting Strathcona area to this stylish place on you guessed it, East Hastings.
We started with…More »
13. Vij's Rangoli
Vancouver, BC V6H 1L1
(604) 736-5711
Category:
Indian
Neighbourhoods: Fairview Slopes, South Granville
Having heard countless rave reviews from friends and media, I finally got to try Vij's today for lunch. Luckily there was no wait to get in.
The servers were amazingly friendly. Started with their awesome chai tea. I must have had 4 glasses.
For lunch…More »
14. The Gumboot Garden Cafe
Roberts Creek, BC V0N 2W0
(604) 885-4218
Categories:
Vegan,
Gluten-Free,
Tea Rooms
Nestled in the infamous Hippy-central of BC, The Gumboot Cafe is all organic-hippy greatness.
I haven't been here in about 5 years, and was surprised to see that they had expanded. They now have a bigger separate restaurant, a spa, and a bakery/cafe…More »
15. Salade de Fruits
Vancouver, BC V6J 1S1
(604) 714-5987
Category:
French
Neighbourhoods: Fairview Slopes, South Granville
C'est magnifique! Yes I know a little French, but I will spare insulting the French by speaking it.
I had already had lunch before coming here, but having a sweet tooth I craved some dessert. At first I ordered their apple pie, but the waiter (yes he…More »
16. Danny's Market
I've had screamers before but never heard of any place in the GVRD that sold it. Then a miracle was discovered: Danny's.
For those of you who don't know what a screamer, it's simple. It's a slushee mixed with (in Danny's case) freshly made soft serve…More »
