1. Restaurant Avenue Grill
Vancouver, BC V6M 1Z1
Canada
(604) 266-8183
Category:
Diners
Neighbourhoods: Kerrisdale, Arbutus Ridge
Imagine a diner that had a level of food over the normal sandwiches and pastas, and what you get is the Avenue Grill.
Located in this great little neighborhood, the restaurant reflects it's clientele -- wanting good food and willing to pay a bit more…More »
2. Ajisai Sushi Bar
Vancouver, BC V6M 2B4
Canada
(604) 266-1428
Categories:
Sushi Bars,
Butcher
Neighbourhood: Kerrisdale
The place is a closet -- I've eaten in larger sushi places with four seats, but don't let the size of the place fool you.
This is the best neighborhood sushi place I've ever been to. Their selection of sushi is absolutely amazing, so big in fact I…More »
3. Varsity-Ridge 5 Pin Bowling Centre
Vancouver, BC V6K 2Y5
Canada
(604) 738-5412
Categories:
Amusement Parks,
Bowling
Neighbourhood: Kitsilano
Five pin bowling -- so un-American. Where's the Dude when you need him? Where's my White Russian?
It's a fun place, just a bit weird, playing a different game. The scoring isn't too much different, but throwing a different ball, I threw out my back.…More »
4. The Wolf & Hound
Vancouver, BC V6R 2B8
Canada
(604) 738-8909
Plus four stars for that great living room setup where they have a huge ass big screen television, comfy leather sofas and it's quiet enough to watch a hockey game. Plus one star for the great beer list, good food and being so close to The Cellar…More »
5. Rodney's Oyster House
Vancouver, BC V6B 6L2
Canada
(604) 609-0080
Category:
Seafood
Neighbourhoods: Downtown, Yaletown
The one thing you are sure to get in Vancouver is great seafood, and Rodney's is no exception.
Outfittted in a style that would make a New England restaurant owner proud, Rodney's has other seafood, but what it does best is oysters -- a lot and a lot…More »
6. Hell's Kitchen
Vancouver, BC V6J 1N3
Canada
(604) 736-4355
Categories:
Pizza,
Canadian (New),
Bars
Neighbourhood: Kitsilano
Hell's Kitchen evokes so many thoughts or ideas of what it could be, considering the Pizza From Hell sign on the front of the place. You walk in, and it's DARK, REAL DARK, with flames the only real light of the place. I guess it works on a Friday…More »
7. The Cellar Jazz Club
Vancouver, BC V6R 2B8
Canada
(604) 738-1959
Category:
Jazz & Blues
Neighbourhood: Kitsilano
It's what it is -- a good jazz club with a good menu for small intimate shows.
We went a while back, and saw a canadian flamenco jazz band (no, really...I might have to edit this later to get it right). Canadians are very shy, but also very talented,…More »
8. Japa Dog
Vancouver, BC V6Z 2K6
Canada
Categories:
Hot Dogs,
Food Stands,
Japanese
Neighbourhood: Downtown
Fuck, not the first one. Oh well, I'm going to get hell for that from the "play date".
This place rocks. I feel sorry for the hot dog stands around it -- they don't stand a chance. I might franchise this place if I can find some Japanese girls to…More »
9. Stella's Tap & Tapas Bar - CLOSED
Vancouver, BC V5L 3X3
Canada
(604) 254-2437
Category:
Tapas Bars
Neighbourhoods: Grandview-Woodlands, The Drive
It's about the beer and cheeses. They do have a great menu, one of the times I was here, we had a big bucket of mussels, but it's a comfortable bar where you can drink Belgian beer and talk the afternoon away. It's important that you keep ordering…More »
10. Cat's Socialhouse
Vancouver, BC V6H 3S6
Canada
(604) 647-2287
Categories:
Restaurants,
Lounges
Neighbourhood: Granville Island/False Creek
It's a nice place, yo, but feels like what it is, a chain.
We went there on a cold December night, and stopped by here because it was closer than the Sandbar (something about -12 C weather does that to you).
The menu, for starters just isn't that…More »
11. Salt Tasting Room
Vancouver, BC V6B 1A4
Canada
(604) 633-1912
Categories:
Wine Bars,
Tapas/Small Plates
Neighbourhoods: Downtown, Gastown
First, find the place -- it's in an alley, specially Blood Alley. Step over the heroin addicts and tripping neighbors on the way to place.
Second, step inside the the quaint wine bar -- no nonsense chairs, on purpose.
Third, you can pick three items,…More »
12. Guu With Garlic
Vancouver, BC V6G 1C7
Canada
(604) 685-8678
Categories:
Japanese,
Tapas Bars
Neighbourhood: West End
Guu is perfect for a fun meal - Japanese-style tapas. I had my birthday there, and I'm there often enough they recognize me, and I don't even live there.
A lot of variety. Interesting menu items you won't see at most other restaurants. Good selection…More »
13. Dover Arms
Vancouver, BC V6G 2M3
Canada
(604) 683-1929

Don't forget to order a Guinness.
14. Blue Water Cafe + Raw Bar
Vancouver, BC V6B 5T4
Canada
(604) 688-8078
Categories:
Seafood,
Live/Raw Food
Neighbourhoods: Downtown, Yaletown
I really shouldn't say anything negative about this place, because it is nice, just overpriced, even by Vancouver standards.
The decor is what West Coast dining should be defined as -- very hip, warehouse and classy at the same time. It's a great…More »
15. Guu
Vancouver, BC V6B 5C6
Canada
(604) 685-8682
Categories:
Japanese,
Tapas Bars
Neighbourhoods: Downtown, Gastown
Okay, it's not the one on Robson Street, but this Guu is great over in Gastown, especially for tourists.
All the dishes are pretty close to the other Guu -- is the Salmon Carpaccio the bomb -- but they do a fine job with the other dishes like the…More »
