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 starting a new business with her

Ça Marche – A One-of-a-Kind Creperie in Vancouver [REVIEW]

It's hard to see a truly unique concept open in Vancouver, so when a place like Ça Marche Creperie props up as a brand new concept in a brand new address, it deserves investigating. Buckwheat crêpes are the name of the game at Ça Marche and they are offered in

Tenton Ramen and Tonkatsu – West Vancouver [REVIEW]

One cuisine that doesn't get talked about often in West Van is Japanese ramen. With such a huge population of European descent, there's clearly an appetite for Western-friendly menus. However, I'm hoping Tenton Ramen and Tonkatsu is the little ramen shop that could. Flavourful broths and delicate crispiness is the

Crack On Food Truck – Mobile Sandwich Comfort [REVIEW]

BRGR BRGR – Fresh Burgers with Local Ingredients [REVIEW]

Sometimes, simple is just enough. I might be in the minority when I say this, but I love burgers. I love that a concept of bun, patty, and the usual condiments can either be enjoyed in the classic formula or with some extra zig.

Downlow Chicken Shack – Next Level Takeout in Vancouver [REVIEW]

Dining in the new normal has been interesting, to say the least. Anecdotal reports of restaurants allegedly failing to enforce social distancing fill up Reddit, contact tracing is the latest to hit Earls in Port Coquitlam, and these are the cases the public currently knows about.

Yue Restaurant – Traditional Dim Sum with a Modern Flair in Richmond [REVIEW]

When you've been to one dim sum restaurant, it can feel like you've been to them all. It takes a lot of distinction for a dim sum experience to stand out to me because I'm as basic as it gets. I'm a fan of shrimp dumplings, egg tarts, rice rolls, and don't need much more to yum cha successfully.

Boca'O – The Spanish Tapas Food Truck Experience [OVERVIEW]

Thinking of grabbing a bite as the Spaniards would? Then Vancouver's newest food truck, Boca'O, might be right up your alley. Taking Spanish tapas classics such as potatoes, jamón serrano, and manchego cheese, Boca'O serves up a tidy variety of meals you can enjoy if...

The Workshop Vegetarian Cafe – Homey, Vegan-Friendly Eatery in East Vancouver [OVERVIEW]

When I heard The Workshop Vegetarian Cafe was opening a second location for their Japanese fusion menu that promotes a healthy vegan lifestyle, I was intrigued. This cafe now joins its sister from North Vancouver as a new option along the busy Hastings corridor.
