Ever dreamt of browsing the racks of a grocery store and being able to just pull whatever you like off the shelf to try? I have, and therefore I was supremely stoked to get an invite to Grocery Showcase West 2014. Livin’ the dream! Grocery Showcase West is an annual trade show held by the […]
Update: This restaurant is closed. VANEATS.ca has once again put together a pretty nifty package deal for an establishment we’ve been meaning to try with their ManCakes Madness deal for ManCakes Bakery on Robson. This time it will cost you $9.95 for 6 mini cupcakes and 2 hot drinks. You can also upgrade and double […]
A friend of mine has been pointing out lately the lack of Filipino food on our site, so this one’s for you pandeSally. Fliptop Filipino Fusion food truck (Phew! Try saying that five times fast. Or just once for that matter!) came onto our radar a month or so ago, but since they tend to […]
Here’s a review of a lunch I had on the go downtown earlier this week. Quick lunch, quick review. Fat Duck Mobile Eatery Ltd food truck parks outside of the Queen Elizabeth Theatre on Hamilton between Dunsmuir and Georgia. Their menu items hover around $10. I’ve really been digging the food cart thing as of […]
After an evening downtown I had a congee craving so Wendy suggested we try Congee Noodle King Seafood Restaurant, an unassuming Chinese place along Kingsway that does a late night menu. The menu is quite varied and has three tiers priced at $5.35, $6.45, and $6.95. We ordered a Plain Congee (Large) ($5.35) and it […]
Before I begin this post, I just want to say that I was excited about trying the Gypsy Trunk Gourmet Fare food cart and I really wanted to like them. I admire the proprietor’s free-spirited decision to follow her dream (read more about that on the Gypsy Trunk website) and I respect any business that […]
Wendy and I were looking for a quick snack around Broadway and Cambie, and Solly’s Bagelry looked like it fit the bill. Once inside things got a bit more interesting, as we could see that Solly’s wasn’t just a bagel place, but a full Jewish bakery. As the sign says, they carry babka but we […]
Ever find yourself daydreaming of your next vacation while you’re at work? Wish you could magically transport yourself out of that cramped cubicle and escape to some exotic destination for some much-needed R & R? What if I said you could indulge your fantasy on your next lunch break? If you work downtown, Mangal Kiss […]
Wendy was quite excited to spot the transition of Pho Hoa on Kingsway to its new incarnation, Pho Boi: A Taste of Vietnam about a week ago. We agreed to try it ASAP. It seems this chain has its roots in Victoria, so in hindsight that should have been a red flag right there… […]
Near the end of a grey, cloudy day Wendy and I ascended to The Observatory for our first Dine Out Vancouver meal of 2014 on the Skyride from the base of Grouse Mountain. To our wonderment when the tram broke through the clouds we were treated to an absolutely stunning sunset of epic proportions, with […]
