Escargot so plump & juicy! No yucky after taste. Balsamic on the salad amazing -- thick, fruity!
Get a group of six or more and dine "family style". The chef creates a menu for you, just sit back and enjoy. Reservations are a must!
With all dishes under $20 and a no-reservation policy, this gem fills quickly. Try the duck ravioli, tuna tataki w/ mango and avocado, prawn and gazpacho w/ macha salad, and the venison flank steak. En savoir plus .
Simplicity takes skill: For starters try the grilled octopus and albacore tuna crudo w/ panzanella tomato salad. For a main, the Sloping Hill pork roast will have you tasting the essence of Italy. En savoir plus .
Try the boar belly, the blue cornbread, and the pulled duck tacos. I get them every time. One of the few Pisco sours in town, and it's good. Lovely ambience and good service. One of my Vancouver faves
The blind chef, who uses her hearing and sense of smell to perfect her dishes, creates authentic Cuban meals that aren't too spicy. Plus, after every 10 visits, customers get a free meal. En savoir plus .
$2.00 tacos with different choices of fillings (pulled pork, steak, chicken, lamb etc). Go up to the counter and help yourself to toppings like avocado, salsa, chili, and hot sauce. So delicious
Great French food at affordable prices, an excellent wine list that's equally attainable, all in a setting that oozes French bistro with an eastside retro-appeal. En savoir plus .
Avocado or jackfruit shakes. Phnom Penh rolls. Vietnamese food + items u don't normally see elsewhere in Van.
Dinner starts seating at 6:15pm. There's often a lineup so put your name down first and then go check out the new Japanese store next door.
Stone-grilled beef tongue. Kobe beef pricier, but so much nicer. Preferred the tongue when they used to cut it thinner. Thicker cut tonight not as tender.
Amaebi is fresh, & only $1 extra to deep fry heads, but they do it oddly -- eat sashimi 1st, then they take heads back to kitchen to fry after, rather than serve all @ once.
My favourite spicy wonton in all of Vancouver! Most fragrant sauce. Also best XLB's: thin skin & TWO spoonfuls of juice!!!
What's better than the chicken liver and cognac terrine? Maybe the raclettes, or the fondues, or the pâtés, or the shaved slices of Iberico ham, or the croque madame. Pair with a glass of wine. En savoir plus .
"For Italians Only" Simple ingredients, amazingly good. Very garlicky just the way I love Italian food!
The menu changes weekly but everything is mouth-wateringly good and carefully made. You can order plates separately, but we'd recommend eating 'alla famiglia' and order 5 courses for $40 or 9 for $59. En savoir plus .
Lovely little room with focus on freshness, balanced flavours, and excellent service. En savoir plus .
Of tea I sing: Tea does for procrastination what coffee does for work. Read more: En savoir plus .
AMAZING Indian food. Lamb Popsicles are damn good, servers are nice and helpful, lots of little complementary things. Overall was best food I've had in a long time. Even the wait was enjoyable
La Ghianda feels like a private home, but it’s got what your house almost certainly doesn’t: Gemelli Bolognese, Scallopine al limone and some of the most respected sandwiches in the city.
If they have the mushroom bisque on your visit, definitely give it a go. also, the beef carpaccio is brilliant!
Pretty good espresso drinks, but come here for a baguette sandwich at lunch time. Show up early or call ahead because it gets really busy at 12.
You can't go wrong with any of the sandwiches here, the porchetta is especially delicious. Napkins & water at the back. Their mustard is outstanding & available for sale.
Nasi Goreng, Fried Kuey Teow, and Veggie Fritters are really yummy! (even for takeout) I'll be back for sure! :D
