I wish I had a chance to visit this place more often! I came here the first time years ago - it would have been 2004 - to celebrate the marriage of some friends of mine. They were seasoned Paradise experts, and ordered bowls of pho and other…More »

When I posted about Bon Chaz and talked about how happy I was to have a vegan option so close to SFU's Harbour Centre campus, I feel like I accidentally snubbed Vancouver Raw Vegan institution Gorilla Food. I just want to make up for that now.

Listen: the pizza was great. Really, it was delicious. I've never had vegan pizza of this calibre. It reminded me of the pizza I ate when I was a kid. Doughy crust, deliciously ungourmet toppings, melty cheese. The ham they use tastes like I…More »

I love this restaurant. The weekday buffet is a great value - for the same price as All India ($11) you'll get better food, more selection, and infinitely better service, plus you won't have to trek all the way out to Main and 49th.
I like that most…More »

I loved House of Dosas before they were open 24h, so that just adds sugar to the pudding!

Definitely the second-best Indian food I've had in town. The price point is lower than Vij's, though, so that makes Chutney Villa the best mid-range Indian food I've had in town - and I've had a lot of Indian food.

Grocery Shop (10)I'm a picky grocery consumer - I find shopping at big box stores really frustrating. Here's a list of grocery stores in Vancouver with great selections of interesting food, ethnic ingredients, spices, organic produce, and some specialty items that are useful for vegan cooking. |
Just One Drink (23)Some lovely places to go for a drink - cocktails, beer, or wine - where you probably won't be able to have just one. |
Exceptional Vancouver (18)Take visitors from out of town to these interesting, unique spots for a cool and unusual experience. |
Shushi (13)I make that typo all the time. Sushi (and other Japanese). |
Victoria (6)Vegan hotspots in Our Province's Great Capitol. |
Business Time (13)Great places to bring a date. Conducive to conversation, generally high food quality, decent atmosphere and good lighting. Also, food that isn't heavy, so you can get down to business later. |
Curries and Chutneys and Dosas, Oh My (14)Where can a spice-lovin' vegetarian find satisfying South Asian food in Vancouver? |
San Francisco (12)These are the places I have reviewed in SF. |
Danger! Danger! (4)I recommend that you do NOT waste your time with these businesses. Poor service or poor food quality, probably both, make these places more frustrating than anything else. |
