Benkei Ramen Robson Review

on October 5, 2011 in Downtown, Japanese, Ramen, West End

Benkei Ramen’s Robson location (near Denman) was the second out of the chain’s five restaurants we visited. The restaurant’s decor and layout was virtual identical to its location on West Broadway, in Kitsilano, with a bamboo dividing wall at its entrance and similar warm colour tones throughout. Servers were friendly and promptly seated us upon [...]

Stepho’s Souvlaki Greek Taverna Review

on August 26, 2011 in Greek, West End

A West End legend and Vancouver staple, Stepho’s Souvlaki Greek Taverna is one of the most famous restaurants in the city, and has been for over two decades. Why is Stepho’s still so popular after all these years? Why do customers battle lineups even in the worst weather? Well, there are a few explanations. First [...]

Milano Coffee & Gelato (Denman St.) Review

on August 12, 2011 in Cafe, Coffee Shops, Dessert, West End

Milano Coffee & Gelato opened earlier this year, taking over the space previously occupied by Mum’s Gelati on Denman Street. Located right next door to one of our favourite Korean restaurants, Ma Dang Goul, this espresso bar and gelato shop is one of the West End’s newest residents. This was our first encounter with Milano Coffee, [...]

Baguette Time Review – Screamers

on July 4, 2011 in Cafe, Dessert, Downtown, West End

Today was the perfect sunny day for an ice cold creamy screamer. What’s that you ask? Well, we previously blogged about Danny’s Screamers in Richmond, and heard from 604 Foodtography that screamers are also available at Baguette Time in the West End, and Husky Market on King Ed & Oak. We tried Husky’s screamers last [...]

Great Wall Mongolian Barbecue Restaurant Review

on May 3, 2011 in BBQ, Downtown, West End

Disappointed with his first ramen experience, the next day my brother decided to try another restaurant and cuisine just down the street from Kintaro, on Denman & Alberni — Great Wall Mongolia Barbecue Restaurant. This is an AYCE (all-you-can-eat) restaurant where you fill your bowl (lunchtime prices: $7.95 per bowl, or AYCE for $9.95) with [...]

Kintaro Ramen Review

on May 1, 2011 in Japanese, Ramen, West End

Kintaro Ramen was one of the first ramen restaurants to bring Japanese noodle soup to Vancouver. My inaugural ramen experience was years ago at Kintaro in Richmond (now closed) – I did not enjoy it. Ridiculously fatty pork slices swimming in liquid lard. Not my idea of a good time. Anyways, years have passed since [...]

La Belle Patate Poutine Review

on March 2, 2011 in West End

Poutine is a very Québécois dish that includes French fries slathered in cheese curds and stick-to-your-ribs brown gravy sauce. It is especially satisfying during the chilly winter months. There are actually a few poutine establishments in Vancouver that offer this tasty snack. La Belle Patate (on Davie Street & Bute) is an authentic poutine restaurant [...]

Ukrainian Village Restaurant Review

on February 17, 2011 in European, West End

Personally, I love Ukrainian food. Part of the reason is that I have a fondness for anything with sour cream. Although an acquired taste, I’m also a huge fan of beets. Cabbage? Love it too – it’s a cancer fighter, you know. Don’t even get me started on perogies…heaven. There aren’t very many authentic Ukrainian [...]
