Vancouver has a worldly culinary scene. Share some injera at one of many Ethiopian joints on the Drive, grab some sustainable seafood on Main, or treat yourself to award winning plates in Gastown. And don't forget your sushi.
Richmond Night Market

Well, to be honest, Taiwanese night markets in Taiwan would be a little bit nicer, but if you are around, it's definitely worth checking. My Taiwanese friends said that it is not bad, and they do visit this Richmond night market). They have also a cute gigantic duck balloon by the entrance.

There are so many fun events. The Nerd Trivia Night (usually, on the first or second Wednesday of the month) is fun. They don't advertise it, so call ahead (other special events, like Game of Thrones screenings, are also common). Again, call ahead. The food is vegetarian, Gluten-Free, Vegan, and meat friendly. Everyone is happy at StormCrow!

The Naam, in addition to being delicious, is also historic: it is one of the first veg restaurants opened in Kits, and it is probably one of the oldest in Vancouver. The menus include a lot of history about the role it has played in shaping the neighbourhood/community.

A mix of eclectic people from all walks of life gather up and down this street for an afternoon coffee, an evening ethnic meal or a nightcap at a trendy little spot. A gem location full of diverse options for food and art and design alike!

Located right in Downtown Vancouver, this is my favourite location (of Breka's 4 locations) as you can grab a bite and then walk 20 minutes to English Bay! Service is friendly and attentive. You order at the counter and then pick up your food when it is ready.

It's a great place to stop by if you're passing by. They have a good menu which is pretty diverse. (They have options that are gluten and vegan friendly) They also have a good selection of local beer and wine if you're into that as well! I would suggest stopping by here on a sunny afternoon/early evening to enjoy local musicians in the square.

Although there are many others "izakayas" in town, this one is my favourite, plus if you want to save $$, they have a more affordable lunch menu. The picture with this posting is their special deluxe bento box, and these boxes do sell out fast. Come on a weekday if you can!

Their flavours are incredible. The chocolate donut with a ring of coconut is a personal favourite, but do not let that limit you! While Portland, OR is known for donuts, Cartems might just put Vancouver on the donut lover map, and then you can brag saying "oh ya, I totally have been there!"

There are a variety of events, and there is something here for everyone (be sure check ahead so you're not accidentally attending an event that is not your thing). Also, with a diverse, and delicious, vegetarian menu (with gluten-free and vegan options), there's something here for everyone; even meat-eaters will be satisfied. There's a kid section

This cafe was a delightful discovery for me in Vancouver, and I think most people passing through the area, looking for a coffee, would feel the same way. There's a lot of chain coffee shops close by, but why go to a chain coffee shop when you can go to an (independently owned) train coffee shop? Beautiful back patio, too.

If there were a "dish" of Vancouver, it would be sushi; you should not leave the West Coast without trying some of our sushi, and Ginger is one of the best sushi places we've found. It's family owned, friendly, and cute. It's also somewhere a lot of people would pass by, but it is worth the visit.

Some of the city's most well-known Italian restaurants, cafes and grocers are on Commercial drive. Though it's known as Vancouver's 'little Italy, the Drive has more than enough diversity to go around. If you're into great food, relaxed atmosphere and locals then the Drive is for you.

This place isn't just for the zombies from the previous night, it's also a great place to bring your family. Yes, I know I may have scared you off by mentioning all of the hungover Vancouverites, but I am serious; kids love this place. The decor is fun, wacky and retro. It has a fun 50's vibe that can make anyone happy.

The train runs directly behind the bar, and you can watch goods from East roll in to the port; from there, they will be shipped across the ocean to Asia. Also, the relaxed, and diverse, atmosphere will give you a good feel for the neighbourhood.
