Mercato di Luigi [REVIEW] – A Bad First Weekend Service in Vancouver

I struggle when it comes to visiting new spots as soon as they open. So many things can go wrong as a new team gets its operations smoothed out, but I'm also a fan of the umbrella of Kitchen Table Restaurants. Ask for Luigi, Giovane, Di Bepper, Farina are all »

La Taqueria Brentwood [REVIEW] – An Innovative and Fun Taco Outpost in Burnaby

When you talk about Mexican food pioneering in Vancouver, La Taqueria is always a part of the conversation. While they aren't the tiny Cambie Street nook slinging out $2.50 tacos anymore, they are the casual taco place I can recommend to just about anyone looking for Mexican. I recently »

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 [https://www.camarchecreperie.com/] 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 »

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 »

Burgerland Smash Up – A Smashing Ode to Famous Burgers in Vancouver [REVIEW]

Smash patties are all the rage on this side of the 2020s. Despite having origins in 2007 in Denver, Colorado [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smashburger], the smash burger is a rising story that burger places are starting to add to their menus. Pourhouse in Vancouver, for example, has a »

Nemesis Coffee Great Northern Way – Elevated "Coffee" in a Unique Location [REVIEW]

Did you want fried chicken with your coffee? Now you can! »

Crack On Food Truck – Mobile Sandwich Comfort [REVIEW]

As we continue our journey through the global pandemic, news of brand new eateries gets me excited for when it'll be acceptable to dine in restaurants with whoever I want. In the meantime, as exciting as takeout can be, I feel it doesn't do justice for the whole restaurant experience... »

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. »
