Chinatown Eats: Everything Cafe

August 23rd, 2010 · No Comments

I stopped by Everything Cafe for lunch last week and plan to return soon. It’s a great spot for a well-priced, hearty & healthy lunch. The menu is simple but interesting. One soup prepared daily, five salads (all vegetarian), five sandwiches, a daily quiche, a cheese plate, and a charcuterie plate. I enjoyed Mike’s Reuben [...]

Yaletown Eats: Lupo Restaurant

August 9th, 2010 · No Comments

Looking for some proper Italian food? It’s at Lupo Restaurant, located on the edge of Yaletown. I dined here with a group of people a few weeks ago and loved the food, service, and restaurant ambience. The entire menu reads of deliciousness, and deciding on your courses will be tough. Highlights: Lightly cooked asparagus with [...]

Crosstown Eats: Chambar Restaurant

August 8th, 2010 · No Comments

Had a delicious dinner at Chambar Restaurant the other day. I haven’t been in a couple years (although Cafe Medina next door is a regular haunt), but it doesn’t look like business has slowed down much since opening to much fanfare in 2004. Probably because the food is good, the restaurant is innovative, and the [...]

South Granville Eats: Cru Restaurant

July 21st, 2010 · No Comments

As a food lover and blogger, I’m always being asked:  “What’s your favourite restaurant?” I don’t know about other Vancouver food lovers, but I find this question impossible to answer. There is no way, NO WAY I could name one restaurant as my favourite. Vancouver has so many good places, it’s a lucky place to [...]

Vancouver Good List: Great Patios in the City

July 3rd, 2010 · 1 Comment

Summer 2010 in Vancouver isn’t exactly warm so far. But, one thing I love about this city is how it loves patios. Even if the sun comes out for just 20 minutes, people are on the patio. And when Vancouver gets (and it will come) our beautiful sunny summer weather, the patios will be packed. [...]

Gastown Eats: Jules Casual French Bistro

July 2nd, 2010 · No Comments

Jules Bistro is an elegant, laid back bistro preparing simple and tasty French fare. A great restaurant to stop into for lunch, dinner, or an afternoon snack. For me it’s one of those reliable restaurants where you know you’ll have good service and food at a reasonable price. The menu offers traditional French bistro fare: [...]

Downtown eats: Crème de la Crumb Bakeshop & Catering

June 30th, 2010 · 3 Comments

Mmmm, there’s a delectable new bakeshop downtown called Crème de la Crumb and it’s worth many return visits. Tucked into a teeny space on Granville Street between Pender & Hastings, walk into a heavenly smelling shop filled with baked breakfast goods, plenty of treats, and gourmet sandwiches for lunch. Examples: – The memorable vanilla bean [...]

West End Eats: La Belle Patate

June 16th, 2010 · 4 Comments

I was in the West End today, a ‘hood I haven’t been to in years, it seems! I had to go find something to eat to honour such an occasion. While La Brasserie and Mis Trucos were tempting (and on the list!), I was solo and tired so opted for something much more casual – [...]

Main Street Cheap Eats: Au Petit Cafe and Pho Tan Vietnamese

June 7th, 2010 · No Comments

The past two weekends have been all about Vietnamese Saturday lunch – both on Main St. While a bowl of steaming Pho is always good, I’m often partial to the vermicelli noodle bowls – strings of thin vermicelli, thinly sliced veggies (typically lettuce, cucumber, carrot, bean sprout), a grilled meat, & fried spring rolls all [...]

Gastown Eats: Acme Cafe

June 4th, 2010 · 4 Comments

There’s a new cafe in town that everyone’s talking about. Part modern diner, part coffee stop, Acme Cafe is in the slightly dodgy part of Gastown, east of the Woodwards building. It’s well worth the extra steps, especially as a breakfast or lunch spot. Details: Open the door to the cafe and you’re greeted with [...]
