In our opinion, the best Mexican/S American in Vancouver. Nothing fancy, just wonderful, authentic home cooking. Don't miss the green enchilada platter, steak tacos or giant $5 burrito/wrap!

Western Lake: Best Chinese, seafood and dim sum in Vancouver right across the street! If you've never been for dim sum, it's a Vancouver tradition you shouldn't miss. Weekends get busy, recommend making a reservation.

Smaller selection than the 300+ flavors at Casa Gelato (also worth checking out if durian or Guinness ice cream floats your boat), we feel Dolce Amore is the best quality gelato in the city, and in an excellent neighborhood to wander with it.

Chau Veggie Express: Whether you are vegetarian or not, it's hard to not LOVE this vegetarian Vietnamese/Thai fusion bistro. Every dish is to die for, and don't miss the local beers and coconut mojitos if you're feeling... thirsty. Excellent homemade ice cream, desserts and coffee drinks, too.
