Pokéworks - Secret Kale Noodle Poke in Vancouver [OVERVIEW]

I've been to 5 poke (pronounced "poe-kay") shops in Vancouver and not one of them offers kale noodles as a base. At any of Pokerrito, Poke Time, Pokeman, Poke Guy, or Poke Shop, rice is normally the main base with burrito an option at some venues. »

Backyard Eatery – Good Vibes Cafe in West Vancouver [OVERVIEW]

One of my favourite things to do on a weekend is visiting a cafe, grabbing a latte, and doing some people-watching by a counter. This is not always easy to do as it seems most cafes in Vancouver have that somebody perched at the window with their laptop all day »

Silk Lounge - Organic French and Indian Cuisine in Vancouver's Gastown [OVERVIEW]

When it comes to new age dining, Vancouver has a small hole in the genre. We have farm-to-table eateries, Middle Eastern hovels, but anything remotely eclectic is usually divey or just a nightclub. Gastown's newest opening, Silk Lounge [https://www.silk-lounge.ca/], is a premier destination making a »

The Compound – New Granville Strip Eatery in Vancouver [OVERVIEW]

The Italian – Osteria and Cheese Bar in Langley [OVERVIEW]

With places like Olive Garden packed on a daily basis, one wonders why Langley residents love Italian food so much and what a diner has to do when the cravings are for something a little more modern.

1886 - Dim Sum at Parq Vancouver [REVIEW]

Dim sum is essentially the Hong Kong version of "brunch". Typically enjoyed on weekends in Vancouver, it's a great way to meet up with friends and try foods served in cute morsels and steamed containers. At Parq Vancouver [www.parqvancouver.com/], 1886 [www.parqvancouver.com/restaurants/ »

Earnest Ice Cream - Ice Cream Sandwiches at Frances Street Location [REVIEW]

Ice cream has long been a Vancouver favourite and can be enjoyed year-round due to the mild climate and as a way to cheer up on a rainy day (of which in the 604, there are many). With Earnest Ice Cream [https://earnesticecream.com/]'s latest Frances Street opening, »

Tasting Plates Kitsilano – 4-Stop Restaurant Crawl in Vancouver [RECAP]

Why visit one place for dinner when you can visit 4? Variety is always represented at nights like Vancouver Foodster [http://vancouverfoodster.com/]'s Tasting Plates events and the Kitsilano [http://tastingplatesyvr.com/tasting-plates-kitsilano-on-may-9/] edition this time was no different.

Moltaqa – New Moroccan Opening in Vancouver [OVERVIEW]

Ever since Argan Bistro shut down, Downtown Vancouver has had a dining void (shocking, I know) in Moroccan-style cuisine. In early 2018, Moltaqa [https://www.moltaqarestaurant.com/] opened in place of the departed ACME Cafe and looks to share their vision of Moroccan food and extensive use of traditional earthenware »
