Copper Chimney - New Indian in Downtown Vancouver [OVERVIEW]

If there's any cuisine that's lacking in the midrange restaurant scene in downtown Vancouver, it's Indian. At least in the neighbourly intersection of Granville Street and the Financial District, Indian spices and samosas are a little scarce for full-service restaurants. With this in mind, »

Another year means another weeklong celebration of all things craft in BC's beer and cider scene at Vancouver Craft Beer Week [https://vancouvercraftbeerweek.com/] (VCBW). As the finale, vendors and fans gathered at the PNE Fairgrounds for the Festival to try new (and old) brews, jam out to »

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. Aptly, that might be where The Italian [http://www.jrg.ca/establishment/italian-osteria-cheese-bar/ »

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. With 4 eateries in a 9-block stretch, I got »
