Located in the historic West End of Vancouver, Maxine’s Cafe and Bar has been serving breakfast, lunch, and brunch since they opened in April 2021 and now, they have expanded their offerings into the evenings with the addition of both a happy hour and dinner menus from Thursdays to Sundays. I found myself at Maxine’s…

If you’re looking for a fun way to spend time with friends or looking to make new ones, Vancouver Gourmet Club is offering another cocktail crawl, this time in the West End. The last cocktail crawl took place in Yaletown and it was a lot of fun. Same as last time, goers will have a…

Their new menu features familiar Canadian comfort food, offering well-priced entrees, carefully curated cocktails, and both BC & international wines.

Pizza Fabrika
I’ve been meaning to try this restaurant since it opened 8 months ago. Pizza Fabrika has that “we don’t care what you think, because we’re awesome” sort of vibe to it. Everything from the edgy communist/industrial revolution – era inspired advertising, to the bold beer selection and the ever-changing pizza menu. Something told me this is my…
Lanna Thai
Lanna Thai is this tiny, tiny restaurant close to the corner of Robson and Denman. Seriously, you blink and you miss it. They specialize in Northern Thai Cuisine. To be honest, I was crossing the street to try out a different restaurant when I stumble upon it. It’s been awhile since I’ve had Thai food,…
Guu Garlic
Guu Garlic has managed to do the impossible: to make garlic sexy. Guu serves Japanese-style tapas in a fun, relaxed atmosphere. I was introduced to Guu by @DennisPang, who not only is a social media influencer of the highest caliber, but a well know connoisseur of good food and drink (if you doubt me, just…
Rio Brazilian Steakhouse
A few weeks ago, my friend @JKAManitoba came to visit. One of the things he wanted to try was Rio Brazilian Steakhouse on Denman. This place is a carnivore’s paradise. Basically all-you-can-eat meat as far as the eye can see. The meat comes to your table in large skewers by servers who cut it for…
Hon’s Wun Tun House 漢記 (Robson)
I mentioned before that my friends @customersright and @gayvancouver are both vegetarians. I love dining with them, as their suggestions take me to new restaurants that have great vegetarian options. It was @customersright ‘s birthday, and @gayvancouver held his birthday dinner at Hon’s on Robson. I used to live on Robson St. back in the day,…
Gyoza King
It was lunch time with @JoshRimer, @ProWorksCraig, @BillyForce and @JMinter. Billy suggested we check out Gyoza King on Robson St. Gyoza King has been a part of the West End for over 17 years. It’s very rare that this Japanese Izakaya doesn’t have a huge line up of hungry people waiting to get in. We…
