Vancouver'ing for the Week
See All Lists
1. Ganache Patisserie
Vancouver, BC V6B 2Y5
(604) 899-1098
Category:
Bakeries
Neighbourhoods: Downtown, Yaletown
Caramel-Chocolat($5.95) was Off-the-Hook! When most Culinary trends head towards simplicity, fresh, recognizable flavours, Ganache Patisserie throws that out the window with this Caramel-Chocolat.
Here's the list of ingredients that seem overwhelming…More »
2. Thomas Haas Fine Chocolates and Patisserie
Vancouver, BC V6K
(604) 736-1848
Categories:
Desserts,
Bakeries,
Chocolatiers and Shops
Neighbourhood: Kitsilano
I see plenty of Patisserie and Chocolate Shops back in Toronto and so I designate Thomas Haas the YAY rating as it was quite a busy shop offering from Full Cakes to Designed Chocolates to Individual Cakes to Macarons to Packaged Box Chocolates.

3. Kafka's Coffee and Tea
Vancouver, BC V5T 3E5
(604) 569-2967
Category:
Coffee & Tea
Neighbourhood: Mount Pleasant
I'm here at Kafka right now in this BUSY blue & white backdrop, wall art'd, spotlight'd Cafe. It almost feels like a bit of the aesthetics was made with a child in mind as I look at the front lighting of Train, Motorcycle, and Plane reminiscent of a…More »
4. JJ Bean Coffee Roasters
One lesson I was told upon landing in Vancouver was that the lifestyle pace here is less furious than where I came from. I should slow down enjoy my vacation and smell the Coffee. Vancouver is definitely caffeinated to an extreme with shops in…More »
5. Lao Shan Dong Homemade Noodle House
I'm not Taiwanese. I'm not Vancouverite.
I didn't even have Beef Noodle while visiting TW.
I'm just a Noodle lover.
How I love the Noodles is none of your business though. :P
LSD is something that I appreciate even when there are minor…More »
6. The Lobster Man
Vancouver, BC V6H 3X7
(604) 687-4228
Category:
Seafood Markets
Neighbourhood: Granville Island/False Creek
Lobster Man wasn't around when I arrived. Great little open-to-pubic Seafood Shop offering LIVE Dungeness Crab, Atlantic Lobster, and plenty of Oysters. This is the most PERFECT Lunch I've had in Vancouver yet.
Dungeness Crab($9.98/lb) which I…More »
7. Momo Sushi House
I wish I stepped inside earlier as I seemed to pass this place more than 20 times during my stay. I'm still in AWE of the value pricing and quality of Food offered here. Hole-in-the-Wall makes this even better.
I would consider this a 1st Date…More »
8. Rodney's Oyster House
Vancouver, BC V6B 6L2
(604) 609-0080
Category:
Seafood
Neighbourhoods: Downtown, Yaletown
Funny how the first Rodney's I visit was in Vancouver rather than Toronto. Also Funny how we agreed fully with the Staff to leave our Table prior to 6pm. It was intentionally that we only go for "Low Tide", otherwise known as Happy Hour value Menu.…More »
9. Vancouver Canucks
Vancouver, BC V6B 6G1
(604) 899-4600
Category:
Professional Sports Teams
Neighbourhood: Downtown
First in the NHL as of this moment deserves recognition.
Going into OT & Shootout as I was hoping vs. Columbus, pure awesome.
Needs more work on One-Timers and Shots-On-Goal.
Let's see how the Playoffs will treat you.
10. Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Chinese Garden
Vancouver, BC V6B 5K2
(604) 662-3207
Category:
Botanical Gardens
Neighbourhood: Chinatown
The Chinese Garden(Free portion) reminds me of TVB shows where Chinese Scholars converse in deep meaningful hypothetical verbal poetry. Either that or just chill, sip Tea and flirt with a few Ladies passing by...
This park also reminds me of a park…More »
11. Vancouver Aquarium
Sebastian from The Little Mermaid was absolutely correct...
~Under the Sea. Under the Sea. Life is better under the Sea~
Be forewarn, do not come here on an empty stomach.
(Coho, Crabs, Clams, Jellyfish, etc...)
Be sure to check out the following:
4D…More »
12. Granville Island Public Market
Vancouver, BC V6H 3S3
(604) 666-6477
Categories:
Grocery,
Fruits & Veggies
Neighbourhood: Granville Island/False Creek
Advantage of this Public Market is that it's on a TINY island surrounded by a beautiful waterway while you can walk the Bridge or take the Aquabus Ferry across. The people with Sailboats near the Docks must love this place since they can pickup…More »
13. Rogers Arena
Vancouver, BC V6B 6G1
(604) 899-7400
Category:
Stadiums & Arenas
Neighbourhood: Downtown
For attending a Hockey game, Rogers Arena is a modern facility with moderate sized seats, excellent centre ice display, and average Food & Beverage concessions. It's one of those Arenas where you have to climb outside stairs to gain entrance within.…More »
14. Stanley Park
Vancouver, BC V6J 5L1
(604) 873-7000
Category:
Parks
Neighbourhood: Coal Harbour
I bet the Canucks wish they can change the word "Park" into "Cup". Nonetheless Stanley Park is just as good until Lord Stanley lands in Vancouver. Hopefully sooner than later.
I had the opportunity to go around the Eastern loop of the Park through…More »
15. Finest at Sea Seafood Boutique, Granville Island
Vancouver, BC V6H 3X7
(604) 684-4114
Category:
Seafood Markets
Neighbourhood: Granville Island/False Creek
It's not quite a complete excursion to Vancouver until Smoked Salmon is consumed. I think that's a fair enough statement considering Salmon is a local product. I browsed around quite a bit of Vancouver realizing that most Seafood Vendors display…More »
16. Laurelle's Fine Foods
Vancouver, BC V6H 3R9
(604) 685-8482
Cappuccino Nanaimo Bar($2.10) - White Chocolate, Coffee, Hazelnuts, Butter. Chocolatey Yumminess Dessert named Nanaimo that as a Tourist from the East, I though I should give in and indulge as one of the BC Food items outside of the famous…More »
17. Olympic Cauldron
I should have brought a Cigarette Lighter or something. While apparently I came when the Olympic Cauldron is no longer fenced in, it's not lit on fire either. It still sits on one of the picturesque backdrops of Vancouver with Snowy Mountains of…More »
18. SkyTrain
Nothing is more awesome than Free stuff. SkyTrain is Free for those in-the-know. That is if you have a pro-risk mentally hoping no SkyTrain authority would check your payment stub. This SkyTrain is much more than the smaller track-scale…More »
19. Ramen Santouka
Now that I think about it, I'm not so sure if Toroniku Chasu was necessary. It's a nice option for customers but for me personally, I don't think it's worth the extra few bucks.
It's not that its not edible morsels but rather I think the Chinese…More »
20. Kintaro Ramen Noodle
I've underestimated my ability to consume Pork Fat or for that matter Fat in general. Do you remember Emeril saying Pork Fat rules? It's true in a sense until the moment you've overdosed on it. Lean Pork wasn't my favourite as I got to try both of…More »
21. Guu
Vancouver, BC V6B 5C6
(604) 685-8682
Categories:
Japanese,
Tapas Bars
Neighbourhoods: Downtown, Gastown
The Magical Excitement is Gone... I'm not talking in terms of a bad break-up but rather that loud-nearing-obnoxious yelling, head-pounding beats playing, and exciting over-the-top atmosphere that I was initially introduced to back in Guu Toronto.
…More »
22. Kadoya Japanese Restaurant
Kadoya for Dinner. The setting especially during night had a mix of Japanese with what I think of as Arcade Lighting, maybe Christmas Lighting whatever it was made it somewhat different from what I'm use to although not necessarily a bad thing.
#147.…More »
23. Market Grill
Vancouver, BC V6H 3R9
(604) 689-1918
Category:
Burgers
Neighbourhood: Granville Island/False Creek
Pacific Gold Salmon Burger($10.00+) choice of Salad or Fries side.
The Salmon Burger itself was quite delicious even when it reminds me of one of the Sandwich forms from McDonalds. Maybe the flavour had some slight resemblance as well from that first…More »
24. Vancouver International Airport
YVR is one of the best Airports I've slept at from a handful I've been to. The lobby space prior to security check was quite modern and spacious. I found a good spot amongst a group of overnight sleepers with PLENTY of seats that do not have…More »
25. Murchie's Tea & Coffee
Vancouver, BC V6C 1K6
(604) 669-0783
Categories:
Coffee & Tea,
Tea Rooms,
Bakeries
Neighbourhood: Downtown
In this Rainy Glass City filled with Cafes, it seemed almost like Tea didn't exist unless you flew across the Ocean. Noticing a couple fine Ladies enjoying something in a Teapot behind the glass I stopped. Not because of the Ladies but because it…More »
26. 49th Parallel Coffee
Vancouver, BC V6K 1N6
(604) 420-4901
Category:
Coffee & Tea
Neighbourhood: Kitsilano
FRESH does taste better. When I was still discovering Coffee in Toronto back many ages ago, there were 2 main non-local Coffees that I found popular amongst North American consumers. Intelligentsia or 49th Parallel.
I got my INITIAL taste of 49th…More »
27. JJ Bean Coffee Roasters
Vancouver, BC V5T 3G5
(604) 879-2326
Category:
Coffee & Tea
Neighbourhood: Mount Pleasant
One JJ Bean is different from the other JJ Bean. I've even heard no two Starbucks in Vancouver are alike. It is this difference that makes this Main street JJ Bean less attractive. A Chalet feel within and even a bigger space wasn't enough for the…More »
28. The Buzz Café & Espresso Bar
Vancouver, BC V6B 2W6
(604) 732-9029
Categories:
Coffee & Tea,
Sandwiches
Neighbourhoods: Downtown, Yaletown
I'm here right now on the 2nd level in the breath-taking Harrison Galleries listening to their selection of U2, Smashing Pumpkins, Elton John, etc... Great place overall!
49th Parallel Cappuccino made quite straightforward no fancy Latte Art so I…More »
29. Blenz Coffee
I designated this place as HOME during my week stay in Vancouver. 24 Hour means I've seen quite a few staff at various times of the day while everything here is perfect for WIFI users although their WIFI Key slip states 4 hours limit.
I've noticed…More »
30. Sushi Mart
Vancouver, BC V6G 1C7
(604) 687-2422
Categories:
Sushi Bars,
Japanese
Neighbourhood: West End
Do you want to know what my Assorted Sushi($9.25) looked like?
The one that had Tuna, Salmon, Ebi, Ika, Tobiko, Tamago & a Tuna Roll?
Check their Menu Website because its almost identical except for the styrofoam box it came in as I had it to-go.
While…More »
31. Top Shanghai Cuisine Restaurant
We arrived nearing NINE Thirty in the evening on a Friday night. Half the restaurant was full and one of the first things we were told was that they close at TEN Thirty. That's plenty of time as the second Lady bringing us Tea said.
Chinese Resto…More »
32. East
Vancouver, BC V6H 4E4
(604) 568-6988
Category:
Chinese
Neighbourhoods: Downtown, Chinatown
Hong Kong Food plain and simple. You know how authentic the Staff, Food and Setting are when you can notice everyone looking up at the TV while eating their HK Cafe Food. The Food itself is decent overall but I don't get their Deep-Fried Spring…More »
33. Healthy Soy Foods
Burnaby, BC V5H 2A9
(604) 433-2842
Category:
Health Food Store
Neighbourhood: Metrotown
2 x 330ml Black Soy Milk = $1.00
If you happen to find that RARE clean package of Black Soy Milk, it is definitely a delicious beverage. It had Soy flavour while not overly sweetened like other brands. Great value!
This Soy Food stall in Crystal Mall…More »
34. Cheesecake Etc
Vancouver, BC V6H 3E9
(604) 734-7704
Category:
Desserts
Neighbourhoods: Fairview Slopes, South Granville
First time having Cheesecake! Wait... In a dim atmospheric Jazz Piano Bar. It was so dimly lit that my Cheesecake Trifle had just enough light on it so it didn't look completely like Poop. It was quite Moussey but not something I would go back…More »
35. Death by Chocolate
Vancouver, BC V6J 5K9
(604) 730-2462
Category:
Desserts
Neighbourhoods: Fairview Slopes, South Granville
I spent an hour or TWO within the confines of DbChocolate and I have to say I enjoy the atmosphere and space. I'm pretty sure so did a few others that came in to indulge in casual extended conversations within a dimmer and somewhat comfortable Cafe.…More »
36. The Forum Sports Bar
Vancouver, BC V6Z 0B4
(604) 605-1163
Category:
Sports Bars
Neighbourhoods: Downtown, Granville Entertainment District
Christine R made an excellent UYE possible here as I attended "Vancouver's Got Talent" with some amazing Yelp voices on Karaoke Monday at The Forum Sports Bar. It's unfortunate that the Karaoke didn't take place until later at night which wasn't…More »
37. A La Mode
Vancouver, BC V6H 3R9
(604) 685-6448
Categories:
Bakeries,
Food Stands
Neighbourhood: Granville Island/False Creek
Tourisy, overpriced Desserts Pies and Pot Pies but it was HARD to resist. The way they displayed everything it was such a draw for the unknowing Tourist. Outside of the price factor, the Pot Pie wasn't too bad even when they are all pre-made and…More »
38. Han Ju Tofu Hot Pot
I would consider this ONE level up from a lazy student cooking Instant Ramen at home. The Menu is mostly of Individual sized Tofu Hot Pot but do not get this confused with Soon Tofu. This is slightly different which I would say it is a cousin of…More »
39. HKYK Seafood Hot Pot Restaurant
Richmond, BC V6X 2C2
(604) 273-3202
I just arrived to Toronto, not exactly... Maybe I brought Toronto to Vancouver as everything this morning looked as White & Fluffy as when I left T.O. One thing that the snow did was it brought in less traffic to HKYK for Dim Sum. There's probably…More »
40. Sanpachi Japanese Noodle & Bar
I'm a Tonkotsu Fan and was less than amused when I went over most of the Menus near the West-end/Robson Ramen-ya to find most offering Shio, Shoyu, Miso or a variation of the above. I was quite excited to find Tonkotsu on the Menu at Sanpachi....
