French brasserie meets Chinatown.
The Chinese part has some cheeky cards in the restaurant to help you with…
But they are serious about the food, the space and the cocktails…

Bao Bei - Dim Sum Tapas & some fabulous cocktails
Another Vancouver entry - to a place we've been wanting to visit for a while....Bao Bei, located in Chinatown in Vancouver - on Keefer St, about half way between Columbia and Main St.

Red Wagon Diner - circle this wagon and attack
The Red Wagon Restaurant in Vancouver has been popular since, well, pretty much the day it opened. No surprise then that Guy Fieri and his TV show Diners, Drive-Ins & Dives (Triple D's to the fans) made a stop at the restaurant to film an episode. But if you don't have Guy's credentials, you may have to time your visit based on how long you want to wait for a table (we hit it on a Friday, so we expected a line; a Tuesday? Maybe not so much...). But, as they say, it's worth the wait.
We arrived at the Red Wagon and, after putting our name on the wait-list, strolled a bit of East Hastings to bide some time - and it's an interesting area - great stores and food shops abound. On our return (and hearing our name called), we saddled up to two stools at the counter (and a front row seat to the bustling kitchen)…

Rathskeller Schnitzel House - it's Oktoberfest every day!
You've driven by, probably a million times.
You may have even eaten there…. YEARS ago.
It's still the same - a traditional German restaurant in food, decor and hospitality - which they've been doing for over 40 years at the corner of Quadra & View.
And if it ain't broke, don't fix it.
This is a place you'd call "classic"...

La Taquisa - homemade corn tortilla goodness
La Taquisa is a great "taco stand" that's graduated from the "stand" part.
Their early beginnings were in Cook St. Village, anchoring the not-quite-a-food court/commons. Even in the off season, people would huddle around the cart or the heater, slurping tortilla soup and downing fresh made tacos in the cold. With their popularity growing, they opened up their first brick & mortar location in the Westside Village (Save-On Foods, Spinnakers Liquor Store…) and their latest location: Blanshard Street, between Broughton St. and Fort St.
The inside is bright and open with a can't-miss counter where you place your orders…
