Apollonia Greek Restaurant (Kitsilano/Fairview Slopes)
This is a really weird area of town, the north-of-4th-Avenue area between Granville and Burrard. It’s not Kitsilano per se, but it’s also not really what most people would recognize as Fairview Slopes....

The Observatory at Grouse Mountain
Generally speaking, I don’t go up Grouse Mountain unless I have something exciting to do. Doing the Grouse Grind is something I do once a year just because I have to. I am, after all, a Vancouverite....

La Notte (Dunbar and 16th Avenue)

Taste of Yaletown 2011

All India Restaurant (Davie St, West End)
While Ethiopian food is usually my comfort food, cold autumn/winter nights always remind me of how much I love Indian food. With its delicious variety of dishes (both vegetarian and meat-based), hot...

Dunn’s Famous (Vancouver)
I love poutine even if that means I have to eat my poutine WITHOUT cheese curds (I know, the purists among you will say that poutine REQUIRES cheese curds). Anyhow, poutine, Montreal smoked meat...

Bite of the Rock (White Rock, BC)
And who said I only promote Vancouver? Of course not! Even though I don’t make it to White Rock nearly enough, I do have dear friends who live there. And I am SO curious to know about Bite of the Rock,...
