Is the gourmet warehouse on a safe part of hastings. My recollection of East Hastings is that it is a pretty difficult area?
Vancouver musings: Japa Dog, Tojo's (w/ photos)
My husband and I went to Tojo's about five years ago and were disappointed. We really couldn't understand what all the hype was about. I enjoyed Tokoyoastrogirl's story about the last meal. Truth is really stranger than fiction. LOL.

Starlady, I was planning a trip to Vancouver in the fall -- but maybe, I'll have to rethink that and come earlier! What a great idea to mix and match Bennies! Yummmmm.....

Now that's worth knowing -- two different types of Eggs Bennie. That would definitely get my vote. :)

Im Hungry -- the bistrot, bistro meal sounds really good! Looks like you enjoy french food.

Smartini -- I really believe that most people enjoy the fine dining experience and adventure -- but when it comes right down to it, a great burger, a fabulous meatball, a sizzling plate of stirfrys, fresh homemade soup and bread comforts the soul.
However, the adventure of new foods and restaurants and experiences feeds the mind first, then the soul. Just my opinion.
So thanks for another burger reference.

Thank you Grayelf. My husband loves a really good burger, and once or twice a year I indulge in a really good hot dog....LOL.

Grayelf, Smartini, Fmed:
I love cheap eats and a good diner (so will keep Joe's and Sunshine in mind for next visit)-- and I love a greasy burger now and then (past 50 so can't do them like I did in my 30's) and good ole' bacon and eggs too. So -- are the Vera Burger Shack burgers any good?
What do you do with a store bought Rotisserie Chicken?
Wrapping the meat in lettuce with hoisin sauce and a green onion for a quick lunch. Wrapping the meat with cheese, bbq sauce and rice in lettuce for a quick snack.....

Dear Smartini:
What is your favourite breakfast place in Kitsilano area? We've also gone to Granville Island and had sticky buns at one of the market bakeries that have always been very good. I haven't heard of Cru --
I can't wait until our next visit to Vancouver -- lots of new places to try.
what salad to go with German food?
Hot German Potato Salad or anything with cabbage works well with German Food.

BobtheBP, I've had the Chai Tea (or what tasted like Chai Tea) there which was lovely. But I haven't eaten anything there.
One-week road trip - Calgary to Vancouver via Banff, Kamloops, Squamish ... where to chow?
Best Restaurants in Kamloops are:
1. Minos for Greek food.
2. Lucky Leung (lacks decor) -- great cheap Chinese eats.
3. Chapters Viewpoint for the sopapillas, the Chapter New Mexico plate and the view. Other fare is standard.
4. Swiss Pastry for homemade chocolates and lovely desserts.
5. Fratelli's Deli for a fab take out sandwich
6. The Grinder for a really good bowl of soup at lunch.
7. Brownstone -- a bit overpriced -- but their appies are fun.
8. Duffy's - best pub fare.
9. Arriogato's for Japanese (inexpensive and uncomfortable chairs)
10. The Stock Pot for a cheap and really good breakfast.

Grayelf -- we did try the Banana Leaf about one month ago. It was the first time I ever had Roti Canai -- which brought me near to tears of joy!! We also had a shrimp dish that was good. So, we are going to go back, if we have the chance. I haven't heard of Topanga -- so thank you so much for that reference as well.
We've always enjoyed the Eggs Benedict at Sophies Cosmic Cafe as well.

Thank you grayelf. I will keep all of these references and now have some new places to think about for the future! :)

The restaurants we have tried in this area and enjoyed are The Banana Leaf; Margueritas, Tangs Noodle House (for lunch only -- really cheap and never a disappointment in 15 years), Kalamata Greek Restaurant. Other restaurants we tried were forgettable. We like the chocolate mousse from Capers as well.

We often stay in the Kitsilano and West Broadway area when travelling to Vancouver. What is your favourite restaurant both inexpensive and pricey in that area and your favourite meal at that restaurant? Thank you.
Middle Eastern Groceries and Kitchen Gear
I live in the interior of BC and have become interested in the foods of Iran, Lebanon and Turkey. Where is a good market to shop for spices and condiments that might also do mail order? Thank you.
