Suggestions for Dining and Drinking near Downtown Vancouver, Vancouver

Patrick H. • August 17, 2014Wonderful coffee shop with great atmosphere. Awesome espresso drinks, but if you have a little time try a Tasting or Brew Flight - you won't regret it. If you love coffee don't miss this place.

Juan V. • July 4, 2015This place is famous for steaks, which I love, but I usually go to the lounge and have their classic cocktails. Service is always friendly and attentive. Their burgers are fantastic, too!

Diana C. • June 7, 2012The Porchetta Sandwich will change your life! You should always try the soup - different everyday, fragrant and simply delish ;)

Cameron F. • October 31, 2013After nine the music is live and amazing, who doesn't love house music!

Angela C. • July 6, 2016My favourite at Minami & Miku will always be the Aburi Salmon Oshi Sushi, hands down. The Saba one is also quite tasty also. For dessert - Green Tea Opera!

pixarina • March 31, 2018aburi oshi trio for everyone: salmon (kid fave), ebi (SO fave), mackerel (my fave), ebi fritters, and sunset roll. no room for dessert!

Sarp E. • November 19, 2018Fun and twisty take on traditional tacos; fresh and delicious its a cantina style spot, with a colorful decoration and friendly service! 🌮 ❤️ 🍹

Taren L. • January 4, 2013The handmade chocolate bars are delicious and come in a variety of unique flavours. I recommend the "Mermaid's Choice" (burnt caramel and fleur de sel with a hint of rosemary).

Norbert H. • January 20, 2012White chocolat cheesecake. So good!

Jack R. • March 7, 2023Great donuts made daily, and fantastic coffee. When I visited they had Christmas specials, loved the mulled wine flavour. Also recommend the cruller donut.

Andrea T. • February 27, 2015Very tasteful interior, huge variety of baked goods to choose from, and friendly staff.

paulml • January 12, 2019Both the dry ramens and traditional ramens were great. You can ask for free white rice to mix with the dry ramens if you have some sauce left. Ice cream on a cone to finish everything off!

Martin T. • April 25, 2016Ask for recommendations from staff. You might find a new favorite you would not have otherwise tried on your own. The Shao Bing (Lamb Sirloin) and Shan Tofu (chickpea tofu) are two must trys.

are you w. • May 7, 2014This is probably my favourite sushi joint in all of Vancouver; as a vegan, there are plenty of options, they exclusively roll with brown rice, and everything is organic!

Pineapple F. • May 11, 2019Excellent BC oysters! Shuck very well (no bits of shell inside the oyster and brine was still in tact) and was incredibly fresh and excellent. Check out their happy hour deals!

Albert L. • February 25, 2011If it's your first visit, start with the BC Tasting for Two. It's a delicious introduction to some creative flavors.

Gabriel A. • June 29, 2022Best waffles ever, the perfect combination between the Belgian chocolat and the waffle straight from heaven

Rachel K. • June 19, 2013Porchetta, a traditional street food of Italy, crackling crisp skin and moist roasted pork sliced to order and served in a sandwich... You gotta try it.
