Hi team, just wondering if anyone has recommendations for restaurants/cafes in central Vancouver..Thanks!

Are you looking at downtown vancouver or anywhere in lower mainland? What type of thing? There are soooo many!!

What type of food or environment you looking for?

Lots of choices on Main Street between 16 Ave and 29th.

Lolitas on Davie is AMAZING

I’m pretty sure Lolita’s closed down

Yes lolitas is gone

Sarah - you are right - it did. Lots of good places along Denman though.

Kerry, when you say "central", do you mean just the downtown area, or nearby neighbourhoods, too? Are there specific kinds of foods you enjoy or want to try? Adult or also kid-friendly?

Samurai sushi on Davie/ Thurlow the very best sushi around ! Located in the West end

Sorry looking at downtown Vancouver, Yaletown...places that are walkable as we are staying on Hamilton Street.

Anything in Yaletown!

I loved gyoza bar and Nuba. Tacofino has a few locations around. Cactus club has a nice view and something for everyone if you can’t find anything else

In vancouver everything is generally within walking distance. Nightingale in coal harbour is fantastic, Fayuca in Yaletown if you want coastal Mexican, Wildebeest in gastown for west coast food.

Merchant’s workshop on Commercial Drive! Doug the owner is the epitome of a great restauranteur

Try
Stephos at Robeson or Davie(Greek)
Babylon at Robeson (Arabic)
Paramount at Robeson (Lebanese)
Cactus club at Robeson or canada place
Papparoti (coffee shop )
Breka (coffee shop)
And if you can go to hasting try Tamam restaurant (Palestinian cuisine- great food)
Cazba @Davie st (Iranian)

MeeT in Yaletown for vegan comfort food. Nom.

Adesso on Haro Street. Lovely patio. Perfect for a nice glass of Prosecco and appetizers on a lovely summer evening.

The Sardine Can in Gastown. Great Spanish Tapas and a fun little place. Very casual. Great staff.

If you're out & about during lunch time try the numerous food trucks located around the art gallery.

Fantastic food and friendly staff

DEFINITELY go to Jam Cafe for breakfast. Worth the wait. It's on Beatty street right next to Stadium Skytrain station.

Peaked pies

Ha Long Bay Restaurant for Vietnamese foods

Cafe Medina for brunch!!!

Homer street cafe!

Checkout Danbo if you like authentic Japanese ramen.

Cartem's donuts!!

La Taqueria

Andrea
The warehouse is AWESOME! Full meals for $6. Drinks is where they get you FYI. But for a quick meal before hitting up more expensive places to drink it's the best.

If you're a foodie, this list is perfect: http://scoutmagazine.ca/.../vancouvers-best-restaurants.../

Hons on Robson and Bute for the best Chinese food a vegetarian station and meat station. Wonderful place.

Stephos on Davie St

Stpho's on Davie for Greek or Judges on Davie for Thia:)

Ramen Gojiro @ 501 Dunsmuir. Definitely comparable to what I ate while in Japan. Don't let the line-up deter you. It moves quickly.

Samurai is just massive piles of sushi...relatively cheap but just huge.

Highly recommend

If on Commercial the volcano combo at Volcano Sushi is good! Tasty. 18pcs, 5 different rolls. Inexpensive.

Heritage Asian Eatery! Great location and delicious food!

Patsara, best Thai food in town

Forage on Robson is delish! Shareable plates and ethically sourced.

Espana on Denman for ambiance and tapas

la mezcaleria!

Lynne Williams
stephos greek restaurant on robson and on davie

Cloud 9 Revolving Restaurant. It takes one hour to spin one round, but you can take a panoramic view of down town Vancouver

closed

Cloud9 is closed, soon to be brought down

Thanks guys. Vancouver has some amazing food so we were just trying to narrow some down! Thanks for all your tips, very much appreciated

Tacofino
Pacific poke
Hey Dumplings!
Nuba
-All in east Van/Gastown
Glowbal (for brunch)
They have a Cesar cart...need I say more?
-Downtown

Kam's Place on Davie

Kam sold it and re-opened as Red Ginger on Broadway at Oak. Same wonderful menu and taste!

Yaletown has a lot of restaurants in a fairly small radius but none I would recommend except for the Homer Street Cafe which is on the outskirts and a classic. Try these: Italian: Ask For Luigi, Di Beppe. French: Les Faux Bourgeois or Au Comptoir (outside of Downtown but either one is a 10
Minute cab ride) Indian: Vij’s - Iconic & Modern. Brunch: Medina, Chambar. Hidden Gem: Dock Lunch - Follow their FB account for the daily menu.

breakfast/ lunch/ dinner: Edible Canada, Asian fusion: Bao Bei Chinese Brasserie, coffee:
Prado Cafe, 49th Parallel Roasters, Pallet Coffee Roasters... dessert & ice-cream: Thomas Haas- Patisserie-Chocolate Café, Thierry | Chocolaterie Patisserie Cafe, Mister, Earnest Ice Cream

Faubourg for really authentic french pastries!

I can’t believe no one has suggested minami. The Aburi sushi is life changing.

Take Canada Line to Richmond for Chinese food (many regional cuisines from China, Hong-Kong and Taiwan)

*

The Naam.

Kissa Tanto , St Lawrence Restaurant, Maenam,
Ask for Luigi,

Calabash Bistro

KIBUNE Sushi on Yew Street. By Kits Beach. Pricey but best in town

Earnest ice cream, Terra Breads, Siegel's Bagels, Nicli Antica Pizzeria, The Diamond (for cocktails), Chambar, Twisted Fork (brunch), Hapa Izakaya, Homer St. Cafe, Meat and Bread (sandwiches), Pure Bread (delicious treats). Lots of great options!

Sushi Garden

taco fino on the downtown eastside

Recently tried Union off Main street for brunch and it was super tasty.
I second Tacofino. The tater tot dish is amazing.
Chambar is delicious.
Local across from Kits beach has one of the best burgers I've tasted.
Fable is yummy.
Maenam is worth going to.
Nook has incredible breakfast pizzas.
Ramen Butcher... the pesto broth.... oooohhhhhhh god.
Mamie Taylors for brunch.
Legendary Noodles on Denman.
The Captain's Boil.

Miku at Canada Place
