Linh Cafe [REVIEW] – French-Vietnamese Cuisine with a Wide Menu Spectrum in Vancouver

In a city as Asian as Vancouver, it's surprising to me there aren't more French-Vietnamese restaurants – banh mi are often as French as it gets. Linh Cafe [https://linhcafe.com/] made waves in the news as a popular Kitsilano restaurant moving into the Vancouver House building »

Moltan [REVIEW] – Vancouver's Secret Japanese Pasta in Kitsilano

People are talking about Moltan Roll Bar [https://moltanrollbar.com/] with the hype around their hand rolls and upper-but-not-quite-Miku priced sushi, but I'm telling you the real deal here is the pasta. Cooked with a Japanese flair, the noods here feature a deep umami that I think is »

Gram Cafe & Pancakes – The Japanese Import With Questionable Quirks in Vancouver [REVIEW]

I'm going to be biased in my review of Gram Cafe & Pancakes [https://www.gramcanada.com/] because I've been to Tokyo for soufflé pancakes and they were a far cry from what I had at Gram at The Amazing Brentwood. I'll do my »

Aiyaohno Cafe – Creative and Hidden in Plain Sight in Vancouver [OVERVIEW]

I ventured off the beaten path to discover Aiyaohno Cafe, a portmanteau of "aiya" and "oh no", inside the historic BC Electric Railway Building. Aiyaohno's name comes from what co-founder Beverly would often say after making a mistake in the kitchen. Fast forward to »

Say Mercy! – A Marriage of Southern American and Italian Mash-Up in Vancouver [REVIEW]

The folks behind The Mackenzie Room are innovating again with their sister restaurant Say Mercy! [https://www.saymercy.ca/] and you can tell it's in the family because the same "I Want It All!" omakase-style menu option is available on the menu and some of the »

Land & Sea – A Hidden Gem of Elevated Hybrid Cuisine in Vancouver [REVIEW]

I hate the phrase "hidden gem" because I think it's misused for restaurants in obviously urban addresses (please, you CANNOT tell me OEB, in Yaletown, is a hidden gem of Vancouver [https://www.discovercanadatours.com/hidden-restaurants-of-vancouver-spots-only-locals-know-about/] that only locals know about). However, like so many others, »

Mott 32 – The Classiest Chinese Food Money Can Buy in Vancouver [REVIEW]

I have no qualms in recommending Mott 32 for a high-end Chinese food experience. Some people gripe about how food shouldn't be this expensive, so here's a comparison. For every basic need, a market exists for people who want to spend more money to solve that need. »

The Wizard's Den – Immersive Cocktail Potion-Brewing in Vancouver [RECAP]

Escapism has been hitting Vancouverites hard this year. Between rain extending into the summer and airline tickets rising higher than the moon, local immersive events could be the answer for someone looking to stay local while experiencing something totally new. »

Nobu Las Vegas – The $300 USD Caesars Omakase Experience [REVIEW]

In Las Vegas, particularly on The Strip, everything is expensive. Even fast food costs more than regional equivalents if you're visiting a franchise on the strip. In general, most prices shift upwards which means the top-end has to... »

Bruno – $59 Brunch with Class in Richmond [REVIEW]

Classy is the first word I think of to describe Bruno, located in the Versante Hotel in Richmond. It's the first new hotel in Richmond in a city that... »

Nam Dae Moon – Unique Rice Cake Desserts Now Available in Burnaby [OVERVIEW]

It's hard to stand out as a new dessert shop. If you open an ice cream shop, you are judged on your quality of ice cream relative to Earnest. If you open a bakery, your almond croissant is judged against the Nosh and Nibble almond croissant guide [https: »
