Even though I grew up in a very small town in New Brunswick, I was able to develop a fondness for fried rice at quite a young age. Any time I would go out to a Chinese restaurant (pretty well the only ethnic food available in northern New Brunswick outside of North American), I ordered [...]
Update: This restaurant is now closed, and a new restaurant will soon be opening in its place. There is a restaurant located on Davie Street between Thurlow and Burrard that I don’t go to very often. I would say I stop in for a meal around once every couple of months or less, and that’s [...]
Out of all the many great seafood restaurants that specialize in oysters in Vancouver, one of my favorite places to go is a place in Yaletown called Rodney’s Oyster House. It’s not the easiest place to find. Located on Hamilton Street south of Davie, it has a really small sign that isn’t really outstanding if [...]
Among all the spectacular cuisines that you can enjoy in Vancouver, one of the easier things to find, and something that I have to go out and eat around once a week, is a nice bowl of ramen. There are several ramen restaurants located in the downtown area of Vancouver. I haven’t tried all of them [...]
Located on the western edge of Gastown near Waterfront Station, Steamworks Brewing Company is one of the most popular restaurants in the Vancouver area, and one of my favorite places to hang out and enjoy craft beer with my friends. Steamworks Brewing Company first opened in 1995, and it gets its name from the famous [...]
When a brand new Moxie’s opened on Davie Street in 2004, few people were more excited than I was to give it a try. Well, I like to eat out a lot (some of my friends can’t believe how much I spend eating out all the time), and if I have a chance to try out [...]
The Old Spaghetti Factory in Gastown was one of the first restaurants I went to when I first came to Vancouver in 2003. I used to love going there for the old style atmosphere (is this grandma’s kitchen or a family restaurant?), and for the huge, affordable meals that left me stuffed to the max [...]
Today was my girlfriend’s birthday, and that meant it was time for me to once again find a more elegant than usual restaurant for us to have a nice, romantic dinner. We had already been to top notch places like the Bacchus, Sandbar, Carderro’s, and Cloud 9, so I thought about maybe finding a new [...]
Sorry, Dix is now closed permanently. On January 29, I published an article about brewpubs in Vancouver, and said that I would try to visit all the ones on my list within the next 2 weeks. Well, I’m making pretty good progress so far, having already visited Dockside Restaurant, Granville Island Brewing, and Yaletown Brewing [...]
Located at the corner of Mainland and Helmcken, Yaletown Brewing Company has been in business since 1994, and it’s one of my favorite brewpubs. Their website claims that it’s “Vancouver’s original and best Brewpub.” I can’t say that claim is true, since there are so many good brewpubs around here, but I’ve been going to [...]
