The award-winning Banana Leaf (and Tropika) restaurants pretty much have a monopoly on Vancouver when it comes to Malaysian food. Banana Leaf Malaysian Cuisine has four locations in Vancouver, and their colourful decor and good prices attract many customers. The restaurants are so popular that they have been voted “Best Malaysian/ Best South East Asian” [...]

Patisserie Lebeau – Desserts & Sandwiches
Patisserie Lebeau is famous in Vancouver for their delectably authentic Belgian waffles. However, they offer pastries, breads and desserts that are equally as good as their multiple sweet and savory waffle varieties. We’ve been quite a few times over the past few years to this patisserie and Belgium specialty store – read our first review [...]
A Taste Of Vietnam Review
A Taste of Vietnam is located on West Broadway, near Oak Street in Vancouver. You’ll notice the blue awning with white and yellow lettering of this Fairview Vietnamese restaurant that was founded by Hannah in 2005. The restaurant has been serving delicious pho and other Vietnamese specialties with Hannah’s signature friendly service for almost seven [...]
Benkei Ramen (Crossroads) Fairview Review

We’ve previously dined at their Kitsilano and Robson locations and thoroughly enjoyed both restaurants, so we thought we’d try Benkei Ramen’s Fairview location, situated in the Crossroads condo development on the corner [...]

It’s been a while since we visited one recently over here on [...]
The Elysian Room Review

Tucked away on West 5th, this cafe is located just off Burrard, across from the BMW dealership and right next to Fifth Avenue [...]
Shin Ju Japanese Restaurant Review — All-You-Can-Eat Sushi
Shin Ju is a casual Japanese restaurant located in the Fairview Slopes/South Granville area of Vancouver, right on the corner of West Broadway and Hemlock. It’s a decently-sized, fairly well-lit restaurant (from the large windows taking up one whole wall). Its decor is a hodgepodge of bric-a-brac like sake bottles and Japanese art. Service was [...]
Maurya Indian Restaurant – Online Ordering Experience
We were craving aromatic and creamy butter chicken flavours last week, so we decided on Maurya Indian Restaurant (located on West Broadway, between Fir & Pine Street, in the Fairview area of Vancouver) since it’s one of the nearest Indian restaurants to our home. And, according to Zagat, when they “can’t get into Vij’s“, surveyors head [...]
