Doug G.'s Profile

Where we go when we're looking for "comfort food"

We've pretty much memorized these menus. Sometimes we want to get out, adventure and try new places. Other times, we just want something familiar and comforting. These are our all time favorite "not into trying something new" places.

1. Lhy Thai Restaurant

7357 Edmonds St
Burnaby, BC V3N 1A9

Update - 7/20/2010

After eating at Lhy Thai, everywhere else Thai is a pale second best.

We've tried pretty much every Thai restaurant in Vancouver. I have yet to find a restaurant that provides such exceptional food at excellent value. We are always disappointed when…More »

It doesn't look like much from the outside but this is by far the best Thai food I've found anywhere… Read more »

As close to Mexico as you get in Vancouver.

This is one of our two favourite Mexican restaurants in Vancouver. When you walk in the door, one of the first things you notice if that it's often filled with Mexicans. That's a good sign when picking a…More »

There's nothing better than this place on a cold wet winter evening.

I stumbled across Transylvania Flavour while waiting for a bus at Broadway and Arbutus. You could easily miss it. Now we and our friends make it a regular stop.

The owners are a…More »

Cabbage Rolls, Perogies, some of my favorites.

We love the Ukrainian Village! We've been begging Vladimir and Tatjana to move the restaurant to Burnaby so we can dine here more often. It's a cozy little place near the corner of Robson and Denman.

Great for after work drinks or dinner!

We've never been disappointed with this Joeys location. You will be greeted warmly at the door by extremely friendly staff. If there is a wait, you can sit on the comfy sofas and relax until your table is ready.…More »

Recently updated lists from Doug G.

Rooms with a View (7) You might forgive these places if they lack a bit in food or service - in my mind, their views rock.	Wall of shame . . . (3) Run away! Run away quickly!
Breakfast & Brunch (7) I'm not a morning person, so my list of morning places grows slowly. Keep checking back - I'm on a mission to find the ultimate brunch. It might just take a while.	Buried Treasures (14) I would never have found them if not by accident. I'm glad I found them.
Eating Mexican in Vancouver (8) I'm always looking for the best Mexican cuisine Vancouver has to offer. Here's some of the places I've tried. You won't find funky tex-mex Lolitas or Carambas here. Some are good, others not so much. But they are a taste of Mexico.
