Places to Eat

Metrotown Food Court

June 24, 2007

A thought that pervades most when thinking about food courts is that once you’ve seen one, you’ve seen them all. In the case of Metrotown, I’ll admit that this is true- but only to an extent.
The fact is the Metrotown food court (and if you live in Vancouver and go shopping it’s likely you’ve been [...]

Melriches on Mainland

June 24, 2007

We have a tradition of eating a super greasy brunch each day on the weekend. Usually we hit up Denny’s because we are clearly uncreative and like love handles, but my favourite place to go is Melriches in Yaletown.
Anything with the word ‘Yaletown’ in it sort of automatically cancels out the possibility of it being [...]

Hamburger Mary’s

June 24, 2007

Hamburger Mary’s is a step up from your average diner, but still maintains that 1950s style charm- with added flair. Unlike the restaurant chain in the USA, there is no buxom woman in a wig to serve you dinner here; our server, not a bad looking chap, was far less flamboyant.
You can get typical diner [...]

Feenies

June 24, 2007

If you looking for a dinner to consume instead of a dinner event that will consume you and your time, then Feenie’s is a very convenient and more-than-worthy alternative to its renowned counterpart Lumiere. Same chef, different food- and at a lower, although certainly not cheap, price.
Feenie’s presents the cuisine of Rob Feenie -a Canadian [...]

Diner Yaletown (Now Closed)

June 24, 2007

One of the most disappointing things about living in Yaletown is the lack of great casual places to grab a bite. Sure there are a select few, but I need selection damnit! While there’s no shortage of ‘fabulous’ hot-spots where you can fill stomach and empty your wallet, most of them feel somewhat the same, [...]

Denny’s On Burrard

June 24, 2007

The best and the most happening Denny’s in all of Vancouver is the one located at the corner of Burrard and Smithe. You can’t miss it — it’s right across from the Scotiabank Theatre. On most morning’s Denny’s is packed — but the service is fast and you’ll get a table and your food [...]

Death by Chocolate (On Broadway)

June 24, 2007

No one has ever died from Chocolate*, which is why this restaurant (which only sells chocolate dishes by the way) is able to be so coy in its name selection. If someone wrote “Death by Nut Allergens”, then there would be some rebranding in order.
Upon entering this restaurant on Broadway (one of a few throughout [...]

Cupcakes by Heather and Lori

June 24, 2007

If you’re on Denman street, try walking past Cupcakes without stopping in … I bet you cant do it! First you’ll smell the sweet smell of sugar then you’ll be enticed by all the classic pink decor and cute girls behind the counter. Once you’re inside you’ll find a wide array of classic treats; tiny [...]

Cheesecake Etc.

June 24, 2007

Well, the name speaks for itself really. There’s cheesecake here, among other things like coffee and tea, which you can drink with your dessert.
Now, being a place that focuses almost entirely on cheesecake, one would assume that would be important that it has some damn good cake. I’m disappointed to report that it does- and [...]

Chambar

June 24, 2007

This little gem, tucked away in an old building on Beatty St, has an unassuming exterior, but is always bustling inside. Something about the name piqued our interest, and perhaps the restaurant’s Belgian culinary theme appealed to my inner ¼ Walloon. We were not disappointed.
The decor of this young restaurant is modern industrial taken to [...]
