Café Medina

in Breakfast and Pastry, Carbapalooza, Comfort, Canada, Vancouver, Drink, Meaty Goodness, Middle Eastern 4 comments

Vancouver, Canada (The Joy of Food) — I’m not exactly what you’d call a breakfast girl, and I usually say “brunch” is just an excuse to shove down a stack of 25 red velvet pancakes and day drink. If you build it, they will brunch, or something like that. But […]

Thierry Chocolaterie Patisserie Cafe

in Breakfast and Pastry, Carbapalooza, Canada, Vancouver, Comfort, Dessert, Drink, French 4 comments

Vancouver, Canada (The Joy of Food) — The older I get, the more I lean toward dark chocolate, and melted bitter dark chocolate can be something like poetry in a cup. At Thierry, an order of ‘liquid chocolate’ is decadent and indulgent, swirled with ribbons of hazelnut, caramel, or coconut […]

Vancouver, Canada (The Joy of Food) — The first thing that you should know about Guu with Garlic is that it is the kind of place where you can get anything you want, as long as what you want is garlic. Guu with Garlic is an izakaya experience to be […]

Marutama Ramen

in Carbapalooza, Canada, Vancouver, Comfort, Japanese 6 comments

Vancouver, Canada (The Joy of Food) — In the great melting pot of Vancouver ramen joints, Marutama stands apart from the pack by focusing on the chicken instead of the pig, not to mention a divinely superb egg. Cutting into this egg, you get a slow trail of perfect bright […]

Go Fish Emporium

in Canada, Vancouver, British, Comfort, Gone Fishing 0 comments

Vancouver, Canada (The Joy of Food) — Vancouver has its fair share of excellent seafood and that includes Go Fish, a shipping container turned outdoor seafood shack serving fried and grilled fish within a short walk of the Granville Island Public Market. Everyone knows the best food comes out of […]

Purebread

Vancouver, Canada (The Joy of Food) — I always judge a bakery by the quality of its croissants. They’re ubiquitous, and I can’t say no to a stick of butter first thing in the morning. Walking in to Purebread, you’re immediately witness to a mile-high pile of carb-laden goodies that […]
