"A post shared by Sylvia (@sylviatuason) on Oct 1, 2018 at 10:26pm PDT. This celebrated Yaletown sushi restaurant offers incredible eats and a delightful hidden patio to match. It’s intimate and surrounded by a beautiful garden – you instantly forget which neighbourhood you’re relaxing in once you sit here for a while."
"The (long) weekend is calling and so is our Premium Zen lunch set. Featuring a selection of six seasonal kobachi dishes... Minami Restaurant is located in Yaletown, a vibrant neighborhood in Vancouver."
"You'll find warm and solicitous service at this delightful contemporary Vietnamese restaurant whose authentic, perfectly prepared dishes are a must for local foodies. Not sure what to order?. Check out the menu's..."
"We’re big fans of this amazing Vietnamese spot on Main Street. And they have a great patio complete with space heaters. So you can enjoy a great patio and a delicious bowl of warm pho."
"Residing at the heart of downtown Vancouver’s financial district, the Heritage Asian Eatery is actually a counter-service restaurant. They serve the delicious flavours brought straightaway from the Far-East, it is one of the best Chinese restaurants in Vancouver. Prepared with local ingredients and traditional techniques, getting a taste of these delicious delicacies is indeed blissful."
"Classically trained chef, and star of Top Chef Canada, Chef Felix Zhou runs the counter service establishment Heritage Asian Eatery. His restaurant serves classic comfort food with an Asian flair, such as pork belly bao, five-spice chicken wings, XLB dumplings, and duck rice bowls. Head to Heritage for Far East cuisine and locally sourced ingredients in a casual setting."
"Co-founder and Chef Felix Zhou originally hails from southwest China sets the tone at this hip “fast-casual” restaurant, where Edison bulbs hang over a long communal wooden table and diner queue up for counter service."
"Pidgin is a Gastown spot that feels sort of like a basement, but one with windows that you would want to live in. You’ll find food that’s more creative than anywhere else, and it’s good for a special occasion (especially if you opt for their tasting menu) or a night spent staring into someone’s eyes. Share things like their kombu risotto, short ribs with kimchi, and pork belly rice bowl, just make sure you start with the oysters that come in shot glasses with apple granite - they’re like a briny slushie, in a somehow not weird way."
"Located in historic Gastown, we are a Vancouver restaurant paying homage to the unique cultures that make up the tapestry of this great city by seamlessly using Asian and Pacific Northwest ingredients with current techniques. We recommend the pork"
"Lemongrass chicken in a soft and pillowy bun—now tell me even the sound of that doesn't make you smile and rub your belly."
"A post shared by Ronnie Dean Harris (@ostwelve) on Feb 27, 2018 at 3:29pm PST. Laksa King could potentially take a hot seat among Vancouver’s more unique eats. A delicious cousin to Pho, you have your choice of noodle served with prawn, fish ball, tofu, egg and chicken, but in a rich and spicy coconut curry broth."
"Try the Vegan Pho, Sate noodle soups, and Vegan bun bo hue noodle soup. Online ordering is available on DoorDash."
"Ganache, as the name suggests, offers a little bit of Parisian elegance in the heart of Yaletown. Visit this talented team of artisans to enjoy eye-catching desserts that are pretty enough to provide a wow factor, and delicious enough to keep you coming back. Individual strawberry and rhubarb cheesecakes taste like a fresh summer’s day; these enchanting edibles feature an almond biscotti base, a tart strawberry balsamic glaze and a white chocolate garnish."
"Coco Exotique, Passion et Chocolat, Cassis et Matcha are three of the 24 cake types offered at Yaletown’s preeminent French patisserie, run by veteran pastry chef Peter Fong. Looking for something Fancy?. Ganache hand-makes custom, handcrafted bonbons, chocolate sculpture centerpieces and unique personalized cake decorations, like Louis Vuitton or Nike shoes (pictured), with quality ingredients like Cacao Barry Chocolate."
"Uniquely designed and handcrafted by a team of pastry chefs, the menu at Ganache is inspired by the seasons and changes regularly. The one consistent theme at Ganache is French technique with subtle Asian influences running throughout each of their incredible delicious pastries."
"Ladurée is a famous French bakery that’s all about their macarons. Their Vancouver shop was the first location in Canada, and you can find all kinds of delicious treats and drinks. The macarons are the perfect mix of slightly crunchy on the outside and decadently soft on the inside, and they’re so good."
"Vancouver was lucky enough to be the first Canadian home of Ladurée back in 2016. While the French sweet shop was best known for their macarons, they have since introduced a line of perfectly Parisian cakes and pastries that are so dainty and so cute that you’ll almost question devouring them (almost)."
"Set in the beautiful Coal Harbour, LIFT is a modern west coast marine bistro, equipped with a fantastic two-level terrace. Here you can enjoy fantastic views over the water and and the North Shore Mountains, as well as over the Vancouver skyline. Open daily for lunch and dinner, and on weekends for brunch, LIFT serves a varied menu, from seafood, sushi and prime steaks, to a carefully chosen wine and cocktail menu."
"On the water in Coal Harbour, there is nothing blocking your view of Stanley Park and the North Shore Mountains. The bi-level patio has plenty of seating and the restaurant serves sushi, steak, seafood and a good atmosphere."
"Not many Robson-Street restaurants boast a full-sized patio, but Red Robin has that, bottomless fries, mouthwatering burgers and cheekily named cocktails like the Freckled Lemonade (vodka, lemonade and strawberries) and Sand in Your Shorts (vodka, melon liqueur and peach schnapps mixed with cranberry and orange juices). 803 Thurlow St., redrobincanada.com"
"The lowdown: Fifties-style booths lined with mini jukeboxes and vintage memorabilia greet all who enter The Templeton, the most nostalgic dining experience on Vancouver’s Granville strip. It may have started as a diner in 1934, but today’s menu has kept up with the times, serving organic burgers, veggie bacon and—gasp—avocado toast. Must-order: Go traditional with a Big Ass Breakfast of eggs, bacon, french toast and buttermilk pancakes, or freshen it up with the Hakai Omelette filled with wild smoked salmon, cream cheese and red onions."
"The Templeton won an outstanding achievement award from the BC heritage society back in 1997 and has been a diner since 1934 under various names. Probably the highest quality diner on this list, The Templeton is the place to go when your parents or grandparents want to have a great breakfast in a setting they would have experienced as kids. Hours: Sunday/Tuesday to Thursday, 8:30AM-10PM, Friday/Saturday, 8:30AM-11PM and Sunday, 8:30AM-11PMWhere: 1087 Granville Street"
"This Granville strip staple doubles as a time machine that will transport you back to the heyday of classic diner cooking. With all day breakfast, free-run eggs and enough vegetarian options to keep every person in your party happy, The Templeton continues to be go-to spot for all-day b-fast in Vancouver."
"The top-notch rotation of beans at Winston makes them a prime destination for the best decaf coffee in Vancouver. Past features have included a Guatemalan from modus and the quintessential decaf from Phil & Sebastian. Don’t argue with the pros behind the bar — get it as espresso in some form or other: americano, latte, or in one of their famous flat whites."
"Bennies for brunch 🍳 When eating out I try to stick to proper food combining for meals. Since restaurant food is usually heavier and richer, following a system that makes it easier to digest helps maintain some balance. ⚖️ Ideally, fruit should be eaten alone and meals should be primarily protein and vegetables or carbohydrates, fats and vegetables."
"Mouth-watering brunch and a New York vibe – Winston has set up their patio for the season!. They have a full espresso bar with different coffee roasters featured, as well as beer and wine. 228 Lonsdale Ave.8AM to 2PM – seven days a weekwinston-on-lonsdale.com"
