Mexican tortas on Cambie (Vancouver)
Try the Taco Shack at 1937 Cornwall, a couple of blocks south of the Burrard Street bridge. Best soft tacos I've had in Vancouver. Good burritos, too.
Westside Bakery for Bread? (Vancouver)
Try the Angus Bakery on Broadway, between Alma and Dunbar. This is a very friendly little place, run by an Asian couple who named the business after their son. They make great croissants, and really, really good cheese croissants - best in Vancouver. Also lots of good pastries and breads.
Western Canada's best bakeries lets make a list
Best Croissants in Vancouver: the Angus Bakery on W. Broadway between Alma and Dunbar. This is an excellent little place run by an Asian couple, who named the business after their son. The husband bakes, his wife runs the till. Go early for the wonderful cheese croissants, which are sublime and sell out quickly.
My favorite bakery in Edmonton: the Bee Bell Health Bakery 80th Ave & 104th St. I'm very surprised this place hasn't been mentioned - it's been in business forever. Great breads, pastries and cookies - and fantastic, creamy quiches. Whenever I go to Edmonton, I stop here on the way in from the airport.
