Where the Big Things Are

Bring your appetite. Salad eaters need not apply.

1. Tomahawk Barbeque

1550 Philip Ave
North Vancouver, BC V7P 2V8
(604) 988-2612

Categories: Barbeque, Diners, Breakfast & Brunch, Canadian (Traditional)

9/11/2008 First to Review

You haven't had a really big breakfast until you've experienced a Tomahawk breakfast. Bring an appetite. Bring two. Even if you don't get the Yukon Breakfast - with five (!) pieces of back bacon, eggs, hash browns, and toast - you're still going to…More »

Category: Italian

Neighbourhood: Burnaby Heights

I wish everyone else didn't like Anton's so much so I wouldn't have to wait, but what are you going to do? Yes, it's popular. Yes, you're going to be standing outside and watching all those happy people inside, eating their huge plates of pasta. Yes,…More »

3. Fresgo Inn Restaurant

10102 King George Hwy
Surrey, BC V3T 2W4
(604) 583-7533

Category: Diners

2/9/2009 First to Review

There is no way your eyes could be bigger than your stomach at the Fresgo Inn. Portions are simply enormous here - from the man-sized flans in the dessert case to a Ukrainian sausage that's sure to bring out your immature side ("Oh, I've never had a…More »

(604) 682-2739

Categories: Barbeque, Pubs

Neighbourhoods: Downtown, Yaletown

Dix serves one gigantic pint of beer. I could have used some warning when I ordered it, but I had to make a note in case I forgot later: that thing was huuuuggge.

Dix prides itself on its barbecue menu. That's its twist on standard pub food:…More »

North Vancouver, BC V7M 2H9
(604) 980-0980

Category: Mexican

Neighbourhood: Central Lonsdale

10/9/2008 First to Review

Being a born Vancouverite, I am sure I have no idea what "authentic" Mexican food is supposed to taste like. (Have been to Mexico once, and ate some decent tacos there, though.) But I am pretty sure of what I like in a burrito and/or taquito, and Red…More »

946 Brunette Ave
Coquitlam, BC V3K 1C9
(604) 525-5351

Categories: Greek, Mediterranean

9/5/2008 First to Review

As you would expect of a good Greek restaurant, this one has a Mediterranean ambiance, friendly service, and staggering portions of entrees. My Greek Taverna is just at the edge of Maillardville in Coquitlam. They've got your mural of Greece on the…More »

77 10 St
New Westminster, BC V3M 3X4
(604) 522-8339

Category: Burgers

11/26/2008 First to Review

To claim to have the "best burgers in town" right on the door gives a restaurant a lot to live up to. (Kind of like taglining your province, "The Best Place on Earth.") Burger Heaven manages to deliver one tasty burger and a fine milkshake to go with…More »

Category: Italian

Neighbourhood: Downtown

10/2/2008 First to Review

I don't know why I felt so intimidated by Il Giardino when I first walked in. Perhaps it was seeing the all the beautiful people running around in expensive-looking clothes, or just the fact that unless it's a special occasion, we don't go to…More »

Recently updated lists from Christine R.

Surrey. Yes, Surrey. (13) Finds in the much-maligned big city.	Vacation in Washington State (18) I love a local vacation. Washington is so close to BC, yet has cheaper shopping and better customer service overall, plus the same fabulous West Coast scenery.
Shopping for food (21) I love to cook, so food shopping is my favourite type of shopping, from big grocery stores for the everyday stuff to specialty shops for Wow factor ingredients. I like it local too.	Adventures with Groupon (8) The end results of getting tempted by online deals and social coupons.
Store pets (6) Visits with cats and dogs who live in retail land. Only by shopping the indies can you have these encounters, by the way!	Diners (14) All you need is fries... and grease ... and bacon.
Can't talk, eating (3) The multi-tasking reviews ... food so good, I just gotta write about it now.	Two sticks and a ball (4) Dealers in needles and yarn for my knitting habit. What did you think I was talking about?
Playing House (5) In which I try to grow up and stop living like a student.	Bright Lights, Royal City (50) Places to go and things to do in New Westminster, BC. It's a weird place but it kinds of grows on you after awhile.
