Benkei Ramen Robson Review
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
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
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
Today was the perfect sunny day for an ice cold creamy screamer. What’s that you ask?

We tried Husky’s screamers last [...]
Great Wall Mongolian Barbecue Restaurant Review
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
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
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 [...]
