Places to Eat

Las Margaritas Mexican Restaurant y Cantina

November 12, 2007

When I’m hungry – I’m hungry, and I don’t like to waste my precious eating time waiting in a long line hoping to get a table. However, there are a few places in the city that are always worth the wait, Las Margaritas on West 4th being one of them.
You can expect to wait at [...]

Breakfast at Joe’s Grill in Kits

June 25, 2007

We used to end up at Joe’s Grill on 4th out of desperation. The lineup at Sophies was halfway down the block and the servers at Hell’s Kitchen weren’t quite awake enough to know that it was opening time. Sheer laziness often prevented us from venturing much further and we’d wander on into Joe’s.
The decor [...]

A&W at Broadway & Commercial

June 25, 2007

I’ve never been a particularly big fan of A&W. Their heartwarming commercials make me kind of uncomfortable and their chicken burgers always taste somewhat raw. However, those frosted mugs filled to the brim with creamy, icy, rootbeer keep me from giving up on this chain completely.
There are ample A&Ws in Vancouver. None seem to be [...]

Scotiabank Theatre Food Court

June 24, 2007

The main reason I like going to see a show a the Scotiabank Theatre is because of the food. While most theatres have the usual selection of processed cheese soaked nachos and xxl boxes of junior mints, this location serves up fro yo, burritos, burgers, and even bubble tea. I’m certain it’s the lighting or [...]

Urban Buffet

June 24, 2007

The Urban Buffet is on the corner of Nelson and Homer. It looks a little creepy on the outside. On the inside the huge old building is glowing with neon lights and the glare off of deep fried this and that. However, once we were quickly seated and we dove in for our first round [...]

Tsunami Sushi

June 24, 2007

This place is a little bit hard to see from street-level as it’s on the second floor of a building on Robson. There’s pretty good signage, so once you notice the place you should only need another minute or two (if you’re like me and you suck at common sense things) to find the stairwell [...]

Tomahawk Barbeque

One of the last great theme diners in Vancouver The Tomahawk Barbeque is a native themed restaurant built in the 20s. The food is classic diner fare turned amazing!
One item on the menu, the “Skookum Chief” is a burger with not only a patty and cheese between its buns, but also an egg, bacon, a [...]

Sophie’s Cosmic Cafe

June 24, 2007

Sophie’s Cosmic Cafe in Kits is one of those places that you can’t help but keep going back to. I don’t live in Kits, but I make the commute from Yaletown routinely in order to taste the sublime diet busting grease.
Sophies, which is located on 4th Avenue (right before Arbutus) is usually packed to the [...]

The Pink Pearl

June 24, 2007

We found ourselves in the mood for some good, good Chinese food as opposed to the dirty, greasy stuff one usually associates with takeout and finds equally appealing.
Yes, this time around we felt like an authentic experience, and word of mouth as well as some basic internet research brought The Pink Pearl to our attention. [...]

The Naam

June 24, 2007

The Naam is one of Vancouver’s oldest vegetarian restaurants. Now before you carnivores, or omnivores with heavily carnivorous tendencies (we’re all on a spectrum, they say) click on your browser’s back button, I must announce that as an omnivore who dearly loves red meat, this place was thoroughly satisfying. I was not converted, but I [...]
