Is That French
Wine bar
👍👍 We went to check out the new place in Gastown - Is That French. First impressions were good, the host was friendly and welcoming and the interior ambiance is well put together.
The wine list are all BC wines, which is good as I love BC wines.
Food was amazing in terms of aesthetics, technique, fla...

Bar Corso
Tapas restaurant
👍👍 Bar Corso is a great spot for drinks and nibbles on the drive. Our server was excellent and friendly, and the vibe of the space is really cool. The cocktails were the highlight and paired well with the food options. I’ll definitely be back, especially for a winter bar evening.

Bar Gobo
Wine bar
👍👍 Bar Gobo has quickly become one of our favorite spots in Vancouver. We currently live in LA but whenever we visit Vancouver, we always make it a point to hit them up! They focus on natural and biodynamic wines that pair beautifully with their dishes.
Peter is always a fantastic host. We usually opt...

Open Outcry
Bistro
🫤 Sadly, we did not have the best experience here. Everything took very long and it wasn't a busy night. Two different servers came and took our orders twice. Then, one of my friends suffered from an allergic reaction to nuts in the chicken dish, but it wasn't listed as one of the menu items and we we...

Fiorino, Italian Street Food Chinatown Vancouver
Restaurant
👍 Finally tried out fiorino for some Italian food in Chinatown! Got seated promptly for two for a late dinner. They recommended 3-4 plates to share between two.
We got the arancini ($15) to start. Three balls over a really yummy hazelnut pesto. Great crunch and loved the cheese inside.
Next up - the...

Juice Bar
Wine bar
🫤 The place was beautiful and the wine was good but we were disappointed with our experience
First of all, the concept of having to get up to get service and recommendations did not appeal to us, especially since they expect to get a full tip.
Second, the Cheese and preserves dish was a big joke. $17...

Elephant
Restaurant
👍👍 Located in a small space in an industrial area, Elephant is unlike anything else in the city. It’s veggie forward, but uses offal to support many of the dishes (often in super flavourable sauces). The menu is omakase and changes depending on the chef’s mood. We even saw him change how he plated the...
