Best Fast Food Restaurants in Downtown Vancouver

"Japadog first appeared in 2005, but it was really when Anthony Bourdain visited the Japanese fusion hot dog cart for the first episode of his fourth season of No Reservations, which aired in January 2008, that the cart took off. They've expanded to operated multiple carts and brick-and-mortars in Vancouver and Richmond, and they've added a lot to their menu, too (like fries, and ice cream "bun" sandwiches)."

"was sold on the streets of New York by a German immigrant, somewhere around the year 1870. However, Vancouver’s tastiest hot dog is neither German or American. Japadog is a hot dog business started in 2005 by a Japanese couple who have moved to Canada."

"Japadog, that sells Japanese style hotdogs, is a world-famous place by now visited by celebrities as well as busy working professionals around Vancouver. They run 4 trucks only in Downtown Vancouver and are still expanding."

"Popina, a project backed by four all-star local chefs including Angus An, Robert Belcham, Hamid Salimian, and Joël Watanabe, is super popular for those visiting Granville Island. Serving up Whole Dungeness Crab, Whole East Coast Lobster, Seafood Trays, burgers, wine, and beer, patrons can also try Puffcream for the first time ever – it’s the world’s first soft serve cream puff. Address: 1691 Johnston Street, VancouverNeighbourhood: Granville Island Phone: +1-604-428-7518Facebook | Twitter | Instagram"

"Speaking of crazy ice cream creations, it’s hard to overlook the ‘Puffcream’ at Popina. If you think about it, it’s simply a hilariously overfilled cream puff with some added toppings, but dang if it doesn’t look delicious and taste the part!. We think this is a great option for a sweet treat while you’re waltzing around Granville Island, so make sure to try it out yourself."

"A post shared by Popinavancouver (@popinavancouver) on Apr 20, 2019 at 8:58pm PDT. Popina has already made a wave in the Vancouver seafood restaurant scene. This spot is counter service done well, and that’s why this spot is on a ton of people’s seafood lists."

"If you’re a resident of north Vancouver or you’re having a visit to north Vancouver or you’re looking for a great place to have a high quality fast food dinner, then haida sandwich is the place to go. Haida is one of the best fast food restaurants of north Vancouver; haida has a diverse menu with various foods from appetizers to pizzas, sandwiches and desserts; you can sit in and have your food or you can order from home and have it delivered to you or you can order and take it out; haida also has some special offers like with getting an appetizer or dessert, you will get another free appetizer or dessert. Name of the restaurant : Haida Sandwich"

"Haida Sandwich, one of the best fast-foods in North Vancouver that is perfect for families, makes all the sandwiches fresh, and you will experience an exceptional taste there. It is bringing the best Iranian dishes into the market. What Does It Look Like?"

"A post shared by Terrence (@tmaythai) on Nov 7, 2018 at 8:12pm PST. SMAK fuels Vancouver with healthy fast food from its two locations (and there’s soon to be a third one on Howe Street). Smoothies, oatmeal, salads, hot bowls, soups, protein boxes, and a variety of other organic, vegetarian, dairy and gluten-free options are on the menu here."

"A post shared by Foodee Inc. (@foodee_inc) on Apr 13, 2016 at 10:32am PDT. SMAK accomplishes the rare task of providing fresh, fast food that’s actually healthy, but does so without making it ridiculously overpriced. Their bowls are fully loaded and you can get them for $5.95, making the whole ‘healthy eating’ thing rather easy."

"This is one place you're going to want to keep in the back of your mind the next time you find yourself drunk and ravenously hungry at 3 am downtown."

"For the best burgers, fries and shakes, Triple O’s is the right place for you. Their buffalo chicken club is definitely a must try. You can also come back the next day to enjoy a superb breakfast by ordering a breakfast club or sausage sunny tart."

"Since 2004, Crepe Delicious has been serving our unique menu of sweet and savory crepes as part of our commitment to lead the resurgence in healthy eating. We are recognized for our world-class crepes and take great pride in creating an exquisite"

"We remain open as usual tomorrow, family day😋Have a wonderful family day everyone🧚‍♀️ 🍙 🍙 🍙 #guu #guuisguuud #guuizakaya #authenticjapanese #japanesefood #japaneserestaurant #japanesetapas #yvrfood #yvreats #yvrfoodies #604eats #604food #604foodies #vancouverfood #vancouvereats #vancouverfoodie. A post shared by Guu Davie Izakaya (@guu_davie) on Feb 17, 2019 at 5:08pm PST. In case you don’t know already, an izakaya is a type of informal Japanese pub."

"Rather than list each of their 5 Vancouver locations individually, we thought it would be smarter to just put them all together because they’re all worth checking out. Don’t pass on their oden selection, which is a variety of snacks cooked in a special broth. Special shoutout to the Guu on Davie for specializing in nabemono hot pots."

A post shared by PAOPAOCEE (@yvrfoodcoma) on Jun 15, 2018 at 11:54am PDT. A newly-opened ice cream shop with a twist."

"A post shared by 3 VANCITY FOODIES 🇨🇦 (@604.eats) on May 13, 2020 at 9:24pm PDT. Perverted serves ice cream with a twist, and you won’t be disappointed by its flavours. It’s a must-try in the city if you’re looking for a sweet treat downtown."

"These guys get the nod for having the weirdest concept by far. Why associate ice cream with sexual deviance?. Beats us, but at least it’s fun for a laugh now and again."

"Editor's Note: There's no photo available at the time of writing. Soft Peak is well known for its special recipe. Made with churned Avalon organic milk, the result is a dessert that is creamy, yet less fattening than ice cream."

"Organic Avalon dairy milk turned into swirly soft serve, topped with fresh honeycomb is the best thing at Soft Peaks. So sweet, so simple, so yum. Address: 25 Alexander Street, VancouverInstagram: @softpeaksicecream"

"In addition to its shops in Kitsilano, Cambie Village, and at UBC, the Rain or Shine ice cream truck can be found daily at English Bay. In our humble opinion, its malted milk chocolate honeycomb flavour paired with its crispy and buttery waffle cone is the best summer treat, rain or shine. Cracked mint trails closely behind, followed by seasonal flavours like lemon squared and mango passionfruit."

"Rain or Shine is very well known in Vancouver for their delicious, Philadelphia-style ice cream (and long line ups), but with good reason – it’s all local, natural and organic. They have rich basics like Madagascar Vanilla and Salted Caramel and then some more adventurous tastes like Blueberry Balsamic and Honey Lavender. Our Pick | Honey Lavender"

"This small tasting room found along the Adnac bike route is a must-visit when touring Vancouver’s beer scene, for the beer as much as for the story (but mainly for the beer.) Some guys who played on a hockey team called “the Bombers” convinced one of their teammates who made a bangin’ home brew to open a brewery. Next thing you know, Bomber Brewing was born. Hockey to craft beer?"

"Bomber is so tucked away among bagel factories and other industrial buildings that I feel like it could surely be considered a hidden gem. Not only is the beer drool worthy, but they’ve got a bunch of tasty little bar snacks and board games so you can sit there all night and sip and play, or fill a growler and hit the road. Either way, your taste buds will thank you."

"Owned and operated by husband & wife team, David (Brewer) and Nicole (Operations), Powell Brewery opened as a nano (smaller than a micro) brewery in 2012 and the team quickly took home a 2013 Canadian “Beer of the Year” from the Canadian Brewing Awards for their Old Jalopy Pale Ale. Since then the selection has grown to include inventive flavors such as wheat beer with ginger and cardamom, cascara (coffee cherry) brews and gluten-free ciders. Check out the Tasting Room  at 1357 Powell Street to try the classic Old Jalopy Pale Ale and some of the seasonal sips."

"Owned by a husband-and-wife team, Powell Brewery’s award-winning beer is so popular with locals that they had to move to a bigger premises on Powell Street in 2014. They offer both seasonal and year-round beers, including the Cheeky Session, the Dive Bomb Dark Ale, the Lazy D’Haze IPA, and the Old Jalopy Pale Ale. The latter won Powell Brewery bronze for “Extra Special Bitter” at the World Beer Cup Awards in 2016."

"Powell’s Old Jalopy Pale Ale is still one of the best core beers that Vancouver has. Powell maintains a difficult balance of an established and consistent regular lineup and creative seasonal and experimental offerings."

"Faculty Brewing Co. is the brainchild of husband-and-wife team Mauricio, the head brewer, and Alicia, the architect behind the brewery’s design. Relax on the patio and enjoy one of Faculty Brewing’s beers, Oddity Kombucha, cider, snacks and R&B Pizza. Faculty has also linked up with other local businesses to start Beervan delivering brews from a collective of small, independent businesses."

"A newbie to Vancouver, Faculty Brewing has been turning heads with their simplistic and laidback approach to the craft and decor. If beer’s not your thing (you probably wouldn’t be reading this, but anyhow), they also serve up Oddity Kombucha so you can fake it with your friends. Where | 1830 Ontario StreetWebsite"

"Faculty Brewing Co. is an open-source, green-practice driven, friendly and inclusive craft brewery in Vancouver. Our mission is to focus on education for new beer drinkers, and act as a platform to share knowledge with experienced craft beer"
