In this case, that empire is that of Vikram Vij, whose eponymous Vancouver restaurant is legendary for its contemporary Indian cuisine. His award-winning food truck changes up the menu regularly, though they often feature inventive curries, and fun fusion street eats, like Butter Chicken Schnitzel."

Now that Vij’s is open for lunch (for the first time ever) you have even more of an opportunity to chill out on the Cambie Street staple’s outdoor patio. Vij’s is now open from 11:30 am until 2:30 pm Wednesday to Sunday, and it’s open at 5:30 pm for dinner as well."

Whether you're here for breakfast, brunch, lunch or dinner, the Belgian-North African cuisine brings beautiful dishes to the table."
