This is a list of my regular haunts. I have other faves that I might end up at for business dinners, but they're a bit too stuffy for jeans and a t. Try these out and let me know what you think...
Trevor Hofmann, Auto Journalist: Some of the best Japanese in the Lower Mainland. Try to the Aki Maruyaki, it's heavenly, and the House Roll is massive and fabulous. Lobster Sashimi is amazing... so fresh the claws were still moving!
1846 Lonsdale Ave (at E 19th St), North Vancouver, BC
Ice Cream Parlor · 11 tips and reviews
Trevor Hofmann, Auto Journalist: Their pistachio is the best there is (if they can source the right nuts), cremolina divine and they make their heavenly chocolate from the best dark stuff without any added sugar! brilliant!
American Restaurant · Fairview · 34 tips and reviews
Trevor Hofmann, Auto Journalist: I know it's a chain, but the food is always great. This restaurant, with its experimental kitchen, is better than the rest & the washrooms are the best I've ever been in anywhere.
Trevor Hofmann, Auto Journalist: Just a good breakfast & burger joint... it would be retro if it wasn't just the same old place it's been since I was a kid.
Trevor Hofmann, Auto Journalist: Fabulous fish & chips from this family-run back asswards kitch retro dive on the beach. I've been going here since the '80s and it's still the same.
1000 Lougheed Hwy (in IKEA on upper floor), Coquitlam, BC
Restaurant · Maillardville · 16 tips and reviews
Trevor Hofmann, Auto Journalist: It's hard to get better food for the money than at Ikea's restaurant, upstairs. It's totally kid friendly too! Try the Swedish meatballs & the salmon... yummy!
