La Taqueria Taco Shop (Cambie St.) Review

on March 28, 2012 in Cambie Street, Fairview, Mexican, Vegan, Vegetarian

La Taqueria Pinche Taco Shop has been offering authentic Mexican tacos in the heart of downtown Vancouver since 2009. We checked out that particular location a while ago here, and recently stopped by their second shop on the corner of Cambie Street and West Broadway in Fairview. La Taqueria was born through the idea of [...]

Menchie’s, the popular self-serve frozen yogurt chain, was founded in California back in 2007, and has since exploded in popularity with over 150 locations in the US and Canada.

Max’s Burgers Review

on February 15, 2012 in Burgers, Cambie Street, Fairview

Max’s Burgers recently popped up across the street from Whole Foods on West 8th & Cambie Street back in January (the former location of Max’s Deli). We were excited to try out this new burger joint because of their premise of using fresh local ingredients (just like everybody else!). When we visited it was in [...]

The Dutch Wooden Shoe Cafe is a pannekoek house located on Cambie Street (near West 17th) offering tasty breakfast and lunch dishes. The restaurant is similar in concept and menu items to the De Dutch Pannekoek House chain, but prices are less expensive at Dutch Wooden Shoe. Originating in the Netherlands, pannekoeks are a genuine Dutch [...]

Balilicious Modern Indonesian Restaurant Review

on November 7, 2011 in Cambie Street, South East Asian

Formerly called Saté Satu — meaning ‘one satay’ — Balilicious Modern Indonesian restaurant is located on Cambie & West 19th Avenue in Vancouver. Batik and other Indonesian handicrafts are displayed throughout the small restaurant. A couple of pairs of colourful wooden clogs adorn the wall – a glimpse of Indonesia’s Dutch colonial past. Indonesia and [...]

Copa Cafe Cambie Review – Hong Kong Style Cafe

on September 15, 2011 in Cambie Street, Chinese, Hong Kong Style Cafe

Copa Cafe (yes I’m humming Manilow’s Copacabana right now) is managed by former chefs and staff of nearby Cafe Gloucester. Incidentally, we’ve visited Cafe Gloucester a couple of times, as seen here and here. As expected, their menu items are quite similar, as is the aloof and hectic service. Since it’s a newer establishment, the decor [...]

Tropika (Cambie) Review – South East Asian Feast

on June 24, 2011 in Cambie Street, South East Asian

For my mother-in-law’s birthday a while ago, all nine of us headed to Tropika’s Cambie location for a South East Asian feast. Tropika has a few locations around the lower mainland, including one at Aberdeen Center in Richmond, and one in downtown Vancouver on Robson. They call themselves “Malaysian & Thai” restaurants, but they also [...]

Whole Foods Market (Cambie) Salad Bar Review

on March 16, 2011 in Cambie Street, Fairview, Organic, Vegan

Last year, we reviewed the delicious soup & sandwich bar and coffee bar at Whole Foods Market’s Cambie location. On this occasion, I decided to review the incredibly diverse offerings on their salad bar. Raw, vegan, vegetarian, and organic options galore! There are also more substantial and heartier dishes offered, like fried chicken, lasagna, baked [...]
