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 […]

Buddha-Full Juice & Smoothies – The North Shore’s First Organic, Vegan, Raw Cafe
When we were in North Vancouver on the weekend, looking at potential properties, we noticed Buddha-Full and immediately recognized the cafe from Twitter. We’re big smoothie fans, going so far as to purchase a Blendtec last year–and yes it’s worth every penny–so we popped into Buddha-Full for an impromptu visit to see what it was […]
Vij’s Rangoli Restaurant Review
Whenever there’s a long lineup outside world renowned Vij’s Restaurant (which seems to be all the time!) its sister restaurant Rangoli, right next door, is the perfect alternative. Located on West 11th Avenue in the South Granville area of Vancouver, Vij’s Rangoli is great for lunch, casual dinners and take-out, and uniquely doubles as a restaurant and […]
The Mac Shack Review
Recently opened on West Boulevard in Kerrisdale, The Mac Shack specializes in one of the most popular comfort foods around: macaroni and cheese. “The same mac + cheese you remember. Just reinvented.” They call themselves ‘evolved fast-food’ and are part of the ‘fast-casual’ restaurant revolution. Essentially, you order at the counter, pay, and are then […]
Sunflower Café – An Organic Gem On Crescent Beach
How beautiful was this past weekend? My goodness! To take advantage of the gloriously hot & sunny Sunday, we headed over to Crescent Beach near White Rock (but technically apart of South Surrey). A bit of a lengthy drive, we were famished once we finally arrived from the roughly one-hour trip from Kits. There are […]
Aphrodite’s Organic Café and Pie Shop Review
Aphrodite’s Organic Café and Pie Shop prides itself on serving the finest local, organic, in season, sustainable food available in and around Vancouver. They work directly with local organic farms to ensure that their menu has the smallest ecological footprint possible. They happily cater to any dietary concerns and are able to substitute items for customers […]
Olympia Pizza – Greek Restaurant Review
Friends of ours, a Canadian couple who were visiting from Singapore, were craving Greek food because it’s hard to come by in South East Asia. Since we had all previously eaten early dinners, we weren’t overly famished. So, we decided to share a few dishes between the four of us at Olympia Pizza. The restaurant […]
Edible Flours Review – Natural Vegan Bakery
Edible Flours is a new natural vegan bakery located on West Broadway & Vine (beside London Drugs), in Kitsilano. This open-concept chic little shop bakes all of its delectable goodies on site. Although it is a relatively small space, a couch, and tables and chairs are provided for both inside and outdoor seating. Organic agave […]
Chipotle Mexican Grill – Northgate (Seattle, WA)
We usually try and hit up as many Chipotles as possible during our trips to the States (yeah, we’re crazy like that). Their Northgate Mall location is superb – consistent food (large portions, great quality) and excellent service (friendly, quick, and efficient). Chipotle Mexican Grill only uses the freshest of ingredients, so none of its […]
The Templeton Diner Review
Lately, it feels as though we’ve been on an episode of Diners, Drive-ins and Dives! We recently tried a couple decent diners: The Red Wagon diner in East Vancouver and Joe’s Grill on 4th Avenue. Prior to those restaurants, we dined at the epitome of a great dive – Evelyn’s Cafe and Grill. A while […]
