Good late night falafel in downtown! My meat-eating friends say that the shawarma is very good. I was a bit disappointed that the falafel is microwaved.

Savor Cafe and Catering
Category: Southern
Neighbourhood: Steele Creek
Savor is wonderful. I've been at least half a dozen times for lunch and always get the vegetable panini. The sides rotate, and I recommend their casserole side or black eye peas. Definitely save room for desert, the bread pudding in particular! Fantastic value for money and wonderful staff. Only one complaint - I'd love it if they put some new items on the menu!

I dined here for dinner. The service was fantastic. I ordered ratatouille, which was the only really vegetarian dish on the menu. My Hendrick's gin & tonic came with a lime instead of a cucumber slice. Good place if you like fish, especially shellfish. My companions got mussels, which looked quite good. The fries were a bit meh, though.
I had Sunday brunch at Tristan's, and it was fantastic. My dish was basically fried eggs, polenta, and an Italian cheese. I also got a dish of heirloom tomatoes in a balsamic reduction. Tasty! There were definitely some choices for vegetarians. My companions got steak burgers that looked yummy. The fries were delicious! Other dishes around the table were a pate eggs benedict and a crabcake dish. Great jazz on Sundays. Awesome service.

Alma Dental Centre
Category: Dentists
Neighbourhood: Point Grey
I've lived in the US for 15 years, the land of heavy-selling dentists who over treat. So, last time I was in the States & went to the dentist, I was told I had 10 cavities. ARGH! Needless to say, I had to get a second opinion, and all of my classmates at UBC swear by Alma Dental.
Loads of students go to Alma Dental, because it accepts the UBC extended health plan, and it begins with "A," putting it at the top of the list when searching for network coverage. BUT! People keep going back to Alma & recommending it because the dentists are awesome.
So, I was a bit afraid of going, worrying that I had 10 cavities. I had the most thorough teeth cleaning of my life by a most competent dental hygienist, had a full set of x-rays done, and then a good examination and chit chat with the dentist about my teeth.
Cavity verdict? I really have just one. Wow. Best $40 I've ever spent. The filling has been great with no pain or sensitivity and I definitely plan on going back next time I need a check up.

Great atmosphere with good and prompt service. I'd go yam fries over shoe string fries. For vegetarians, the pickings are slim. I prefer their brunch menu to the dinner menu. Don't bother with pitcher mojitos. At $25, there too much ice and they are a bit weak. Delicious, however!
After trying to hike up to Garibaldi Lake (in very late May) and finding that there was still a lot of snow on the trails and like 6 feet of snow in the campsite, my friends and I had to resort to Plan B since we lacked the cold weather gear for that sort of camping...
After climbing back down from Garibaldi, we decided to head back towards Vancouver and look for campsites on the way. Thank You Stawamus Chief Park! For $5, you get a clean, shady and sheltered campsite with a nice view over the water and of The Chief. Bathrooms are pretty clean for outhouses, and there is fresh drinking water on tap near the entrance of the camping grounds.
The nice thing about the campgrounds is that they are reserved for tent camping. A number of (non-BC Parks) camping areas around Squamish are primarily for RVs, which gives the place a different vibe. Some of those campgrounds had pretty permanent looking / sketchy mobile homes. So, camping at The Chief was just great. There aren't any showers, but that's ok.

So you're on your way hiking, skiing, mountain biking, or just generally enjoying the outdoors and you're hungry. Don't want fast food, but you want food fast?
Here comes Naked Lunch. I've been here a bunch of times on my way to Whistler, etc. and the food has always been hot, delicious, and wholesome! My favorite is the vegetable panini with a soup (or fries!). The veggie sandwich is also good. If you can get there before 11:30, the breakfast menu is worth trying!
For the meat eaters - Naked Lunch roasts their own beef and turkey. They also cater, too!
The other reason why Naked Lunch is a good place to stop in Squamish is because the cafe is nestled between Save on Foods and Shoppers, just in case you need to pick up some extra things on your trip!

Picasso's Sports Cafe
Categories: Sports Bars, American (Traditional)
Neighbourhood: Dilworth
Wow. Picasso's has really good bar food - even vegetarian friendly!
The veggie burger is delish. So are the fries. Mmmm. There's a fantastic spinach & mushroom calzone, too! My meatetarian bf says that Picasso's has the best wings in town. I'll take his word for it.
Other than that, it's pretty much what you'd expect from a local bar / sport's bar - eh on the clean scale and douchy on the music scale. Watch out for karaoke... The regulars can really belt out some tunes!

The Liberty
Category: Gastropubs
Neighbourhood: Dilworth
VEGETARIANS! You have been warned! Stick to the beer!
I've been here a few times, and each time I go back it is because I forget how much I didn't like it before.
So, I tell the server I'm a vegetarian, and she helpfully suggests that I put a few side dishes together to make a meal. Good idea.... oh wait... they come out as side dishes. Would it be that hard to put them on one plate?
My biggest problem with The Liberty, though, is that the portions of all the dishes are totally unpredictable. My asparagus side dish literally had 6 sticks of asparagus. Whereas, the mac n cheese dish was a giant crucible of stomach-ache-inducing carb/fat. One of my dinner companions ordered a fish taco entree, and it was literally 2 small tacos.
I probably won't be back, because for the beer selection, I might as well go to Common Market.
