  NFA, underground goodness

  03.07.10 | Permalink | 1 Comment | By Jonathan

  The Vancouver underground restaurant scene now boasts 4 restaurants: 12B, Secret Supper, Swallow Tail Supper Club, and the newest entry, NFA.
  Chef Steve of NFA invited me to review his food and I brought along 11 other Vancouver food bloggers to sample his 6 course feast. Being the nice fellow that he is, he gave us [...]

  Kingyo

  03.06.10 | Permalink | 1 Comment | By Jonathan

  Kingyo occupies the higher end of the Vancouver izakaya scene and its chef has almost rock star status, known for wearing a playful face mask while cooking for a crowd. The interior has a lot of quirky detail, bamboo and textures. I don’t know why it took me so long to try it, but once [...]

  Fish and Chips from the Deep

  02.01.10 | Permalink | Comment? | By Jonathan

  If you find yourself hungry in Deep Cove, fish and chips may seem like a suitable option. With fresh and wild fish, this cute and affordable “Teriyaki” Fish and Chips shop does a nice job of a light batter and not overcooking the salmon. And cute fish dishes to boot! Not worth the drive [...]

  Furious at Finch’s

  01.29.10 | Permalink | 3 Comments | By Jonathan

  Finch’s. The amazingly charming cafe with a European feel, serving baked goods and baguette sandwiches at a premium. Here you will find an almost unbelievable concentration of beautiful, offbeat women, enjoying coffee and long chats. It is hard not to like Finch’s.
  But Finch’s is busy and Finch’s is slow. I forgot just how slow. I [...]

  Bao Bei

  01.21.10 | Permalink | 6 Comments | By Jonathan

  There is a buzz around Vancouver about Bao Bei, a new “Chinese brasserie” at Keefer and Main Steet. Located steps from Chinatown institutions such as Floata and in an area that is gentrifying quickly, Beo Bei seems to have its timing just right.
  Opened by Tannis Ling, a well-regarded former bartender at Chambar, Bao Bei has [...]

  La Taqueria, Pinche Taco Shop

  11.24.09 | Permalink | 4 Comments | By Jonathan

  People who know nothing about Mexican food are always saying that there is amazing Mexican food in Vancouver. With a few marked exceptions, I have never found this to be the case. Until now.
  La Taqueria, pinche taco shop, recently moved into the West Hastings space vacated by the ever-growing Nuba. With a sense of humour [...]

  The Long Table Series at the Irish Heather

  10.21.09 | Permalink | 4 Comments | By Jonathan

  The Irish Heather should be well known to you as the most famous Irish pub in Vancouver. The Long Table Series is a group of events being put on in the attached Salty Tongue, an eat-in, take-out cafe featuring a 40-ft communal wood table. On a rainy tuesday night I had the pleasure of taking [...]

  Jolly’s Indian Bistro

  10.14.09 | Permalink | 1 Comment | By Jonathan

  As previously stated, I am desiring curry. And so I found myself at the newly-relocated Kitsilano haunt, Jolly’s Indian Bistro. I had been to their old location, a block away, a few times over the years, always having the butter chicken plate. I remembered it as quite delicious and affordable, served in a quaint space [...]

  Charm Modern Thai

  10.13.09 | Permalink | Comment? | By Jonathan

  The red awning of Charm Modern is easily spotted, just across from Rodney’s in Yaletown.  With the cold weather approaching, heavier and hotter meals appeal, and so on a ravenous Thursday evening I gave Charm Modern a try.  The bold red exterior continues inside, with lots of red, bamboo, and a huge gold painting of [...]

  Aphrodite, Goddess of Brunch

  09.27.09 | Permalink | 2 Comments | By Jonathan

  Passionately organic, Aphrodite’s is a neighborhood cafe and pie shop serving brunch, dinner and 15 kinds of pie. Located across the street from Banyen Books, Aphrodite’s draws an alternative crowd and is always busy. For weekend brunch, expect to sign a waiting list (scrum pictured) and employ some patience. The reason to wait, aside from [...]
