Yelp Vancouver 30 day challenge

1. Holy Trinity Ukrainian Orthodox Cathedral
Who doesn't love perogies hand-made by church ladies??? Be careful, because they are filling!!! We got there early and were close to the front of the line, so there was no doubt we were getting our hands on some of this goodness.
I wouldn't get the…More »
2. Joey Burnaby
I came for a lunch with co-workers on a surprisingly nice September afternoon. Their burgers are quite tasty, as are their fries. The rooftop/patio area is quite nice when it's sunny out. Service is a little slow though. And my coworkers and I got…More »
3. The Naam
Luckily, I didn't have to wait in line. And our service was pretty friendly. However, this establishment is simply not for me. We came here for brunch. Let's start with the good: the homemade bread! It was very flavourful with caraway and other…More »
4. The Bibo
It was good Neapolitan style pizza, but not the best I had in Vancouver. I've been craving proper Neapolitan pizza since I was there in 2008 and this was decent, but didn't hit the spot. The service was also pretty snooty. I remember pizza joints…More »
5. Royal Oak
Ahhh!!!!!! The best pub ever!!! I came here because of Yelp and I'm so glad I wasn't led astray. Well, though you would believe it while trekking here. It was in the middle of nowhere... kind of. But as soon as I walked in I knew I found a true gem.…More »

Italian
Neighbourhoods: Downtown, Strathcona
Delicious pastas.
Yummy pizzas.
Great wine.
Get the crispy ceci! It's like a salad of deep fried, crispy chick peas.
The heirloom tomatoes and buffalo mozzarella with olive oil and basil were to die for! I never had such amazing tomatoes!
I love that…More »
7. Sarpino's Pizzeria
So trying to place an order with these guys is like pulling teeth!! How do I even explain it? We wanted to order the chicken santa fe pizza with bacon only on half of it, and he though we just wanted half of the bacon to normally add.. which is kind…More »
8. La Brasserie
Delicious brunch options! I had the oeufs du jour, which was that day, an eggs benedict essentially but with suckling pig instead of ham, and on a puff pastry instead of english muffins. It was rich and delicious, but I did get a little saturated…More »
9. Olympic Cauldron
Ditto to what Simon K. said. This is a symbol of a time in Vancouver when it was the liveliest, friendliest, and proudest. It's nice to see it and remember those times. :)
10. Westcoast Auto Repairs
Burnaby, BC V5C 3W1

Categories:

The service here is great! I have been taking my car to West Coast Auto for 2 or 3 years now for oil changes and other repairs. The prices are very reasonable and they always do a great job. I know I can trust these guys to do whatever my car needs…More »

Categories:
Pubs,
Canadian (Traditional)
Neighbourhoods: Downtown, Gastown
A cool pub located in the heart of Gastown. It's a great place to watch a hockey game, as they even have bleachers! They do keep the drinks flowing and the good times rolling. They have a good beer selection, and more than Jose Cuervo for tequila!…More »
12. P2b Bistro & Bar
Vancouver, BC V6E 3T3

Canadian (New)
Neighbourhoods: Coal Harbour, Downtown
I'm teetering between 2 and 3 stars for this one. I'm almost wondering if I should write it to begin with. We had a travelzoo deal for a 3 course dinner for 2.
Starters:
I got the onion and apple tart with the salt spring island goat cheese. When it…More »

Neighbourhood: Point Grey
It's small, quiet, but it does the job... well! The servers at Pair were very friendly and grateful for our business. I decided to have a birthday dinner here with a few friends. We got a couple of appetizers to share (yam fries and oven roasted…More »
14. Momento Coffee House
Delicious coffee and friendly staff! Sometimes I swing by here to pick up a latte on my way to getting my hair did. The espresso is really smooth and this coffee shop is a like a little lab with these distillation-type apparatuses! It's enough to get…More »
15. Exclusive Mobile Detailing
Wow! These guys do an amazing job of detailing cars. Their service is excellent! I had my car detailed while I was at work a couple of months ago and was amazed at how spotless it was. I've had it detailed before with other companies and it never…More »
16. Bubble World
For me this is one of the best bubble tea places around. The quality is just always there. I know I can count on them for a decent blueberry slush, or pineapple green tea, and always having perfectly sweet balls!
17. Sun Sui Wah Seafood Restaurant
Vancouver, BC V5V 3N9
(604) 872-8822
I've been here several times for dim sum and dinner and every time I've always had the best experience! The food is always great. My most recent experience was for dinner. We ordered so many things--hot and sour soup, and corn and chicken soup,…More »

Mmmm I am in macaron heaven! I think I might have overdosed. These macarons were perfectly chewy, crispy, and tasty. My favorite was the chocolate caramel ones because... well I just love caramel anything. The gianduja one was also amazing though.…More »
19. Fred Meyer
OOohh! My new favorite store in Bellingham! They have a sizeable natural foods section and I can find the yogurt brands that I like (Nancy's, Fage, Brown Cow). They also have a good produce section--I found chanterelle mushrooms there last time and…More »
20. Jackie's
The things here are very adorable and I love how the jewelry are arranged in a color coded fashion. But what I loved most were the purse selections. I bought a super cute purse from here that I love... but in retrospect, I feel that I paid too…More »
21. Maggiano's Little Italy
This was a very interesting and entertaining experience. Our server was really intense and was really trying to sell us on the "specials." And When only 1/5 of us ordered a special, he looked really disappointed and not happy with the 4 of us, but…More »
22. Mango Thai Cuisine & Bar
Wow! Delicious Thai food! We loved everything we ordered here, and the Thai iced tea is so good!! The decor is very chic modern, trendy. The prices are probably a bit higher than your average Thai restaurant. We ordered cashew chicken, pork belly,…More »
23. NOVO Pizzeria and Wine Bar
Vancouver, BC V6J 3H6
(604) 736-2220
Mmmm the pizza was delicious!! I got the Margarita pizza which is my standard litmus test pizza for any new pizzeria I try out because I like to compare it to the pizza I remember having in Naples. This one passed the test. It was delicious. The…More »
24. Ebo Restaurant
It's your average hotel restaurant with a little flair in decor. I've been here for brunch and it was okay. It was definitely not the best brunch I've had. It was reminiscent of cafeteria style eggs and it cost more than twice as much. But the…More »
25. Blenz Coffee
Great space! Gets a little crowded. The coffee isn't my favorite, but Blenz has a great selection of teas. This is a very convenient location since it's right by the skytrain station. It's no wonder that it gets a lot of traffic. I don't feel like…More »

Great selection of sarees and decent prices!! My mom bought my sister and I two different sarees and we both preferred one and not the other. I was nervous that I wouldn't be able exchange the one we didn't like because I always find that ethnic…More »
27. Kamal Sweets & Tandoori Hut Ltd
Surrey, BC V3W 4E1
(604) 598-1238
These guys are popular for Indian sweets and take out food. It seems they prepare everything fresh to order. I waited in line here for a little while and you gotta fight for your spot in line because the other customers will try to cut in front of…More »
28. Prabu Sweets
My parents swear by this place for their Indian sweets needs. They live far from here and in the middle of no where, almost. So whenever they come to visit, they always bring back a whole bunch of boxes of sweets from here to give to all their…More »
29. Parade of the Lost Souls
The Secret Souls walk was still really cool. This year they had things like square dance lessons and putting your head through a table in preparation for someone's dinner.
I thought last year was a bit better though and here are the only reasons…More »

Well, this store has gotten a lot more publicity than it anticipated, I bet, after that gory Halloween display. I, myself, only read about it on the front page of the 24 Hours. Saturday before Halloween, though, their display was taken down and…More »
