PHAT (now on iPhone!)

December 23, 2010

I’ve walked by PHAT (which apparently stands for Pretty Hot and Tasty) several times throughout the course of my time in Yaletown, and for whatever reason, had never tried it until last week. The deli is known for it’s Montreal smoked meat sandwiches, of which I’ve had several great ones in my life (with meat [...]

Sushi Sen (Squamish)

December 15, 2010

Vancouver has some fantastic sushi places, so I’m always a little skeptical when hearing someone praise a sushi restaurant in most other cities (well, besides Japan). So, when I first heard about Sushi Sen, I had the same initial hesitation. Located in Squamish, BC, the cooks are actually Japanese (good first sign!), and I’ve heard [...]

Nuba Restaurant (Hastings)

December 14, 2010

While I’ve been to Nuba Cafe several times for takeout and various lunches, I hadn’t been to the Nuba Restaurant on Hastings until this year. I’ve been a couple of times now – once for lunch quite a few months back, where the menu was similar to that of Nuba Cafe, and once more recently [...]

Octopus Garden

October 8, 2010

So I really, really like Octopus Garden in Kitsilano (on Cornwall) for sushi. Why? First of all, Sado-san, the chef and owner. He has a great sense of humour, is excellent and what he does (of course), and always has a big smile on his face. The last time I headed to this intimate, 30-seat [...]

Acme Cafe

October 7, 2010

Not too long ago, I hit up Acme Cafe for the first time at lunch with one of my girlfriends. It opened up earlier this year in the spring in Gastown, on West Hastings (between Abbott and Carrall Streets), and I’ve been hearing about it’s pie ever since. When walking in, it feels like you’re [...]

100 Days

October 4, 2010

This past weekend, I went to breakfast to try out 100 Days (in the Opus Hotel in Yaletown) for the first time with a group of girlfriends. It was fairly early for brunch for me (10:30 on a Sunday), and it appeared to be that way for some others as well, as it was around [...]

Banana Leaf on Broadway

September 22, 2010

Last week, my mom was passing through Vancouver to head on a trip with friends in Las Vegas. For lunch before driving her to the airport, we went to Banana Leaf on Broadway, a Malaysian Restaurant with two other locations (in Kits and Denman). She had been there about a month prior, and felt like [...]

Hokkaido Ramen Santouka

September 14, 2010

I’ve been hearing all sorts of hype for awhile now about a chain ramen restaurant originating from Japan that opened up earlier this year on Robson Street near Denman – Hokkaido Ramen Santouka. As a result, a few of us, including beautiful ladies Melody (Vancouver Food Tour) and Teresa (Senses Inspired) decided to dine there [...]

El Taco

August 30, 2010

One Mexican restaurant that I’ve been to several times over the past few years is El Taco on Davie Street near Howe, in downtown Vancouver. It’s a quaint place that has quick service and fairly inexpensive food options for lunch. I decided to meet up with my friend Vince there again last week for his [...]
