The 39 Best Restaurants in Vancouver
"After a stint at the Savoy in London, cooking for Mick Jagger, Prince, and a host of other glitzy celebs, Belgian chef Nico Schuermans has created the archetypal casual fine dining restaurant in Vancouver. Chambar offers an elegant room, faultless service, and a no-nonsense menu of French-/Belgian-influenced classics made with Pacific Northwest ingredients, which you’d be more than welcome to enjoy coming straight from yoga class still in your Lululemons."
Mentioned by Vancouver Magazine
"While part of dining at establishments like Chambar might be for the experience, with heat-and-serve dinners, you can now bring Chambar favourites to the comfort of home. Most of their packages serve two, like the risotto kit (from $16.50) and the Moroccan meatballs with chickpeas ($19). Or, if you're plant-based, the vegan tamarind and coconut curry ($14)."

Vancouver's Best Breakfast
"Chambar's one of the few restaurants that's open first thing and closes late in the evening. This bodes well for hungry diners in search of a delicious meal, any time of day. Whether you're here for breakfast, brunch, lunch or dinner, the Belgian-North African cuisine brings beautiful dishes to the table."

9 Breweries Revitalizing Vancouver's Craft Beer Scene
"One of the newer kids to join Vancouver’s burgeoning “Yeast Van” brewery district on the east side, Luppolo is just as much about community-centric hospitality as it is about making good beer. Named after the Italian word for hops, Luppolo offers a selection of eight beers rotating on tap, so there’s always something new and different to try. From mixed fermentation batches to brews made with wild yeast and bacterial strains, Luppolo has something unique for all palates."

15 Best Breweries in Vancouver BC (with maps
"This rather small brewery operation is serious about presenting customers with a good time in their tasting room along with a good tasting beer. In case you were wondering, Luppolo means hops in Italian, reflecting the Italian heritage of some of the owners. That’s not all you’ll see of Italy here either."
Mentioned by Ale/Sessions
Ranking Vancouver’s Best Breweries
"Luppolo has flair, both in their brewing and in their taproom. While it may be a small venue, they consistently manage to pump out some creative ideas. I happen to think Luppolo doesn’t get as much credit as they deserve, so nice to see them in the top ten."

"Celebrating their seventh anniversary this year, Artisan SakeMaker produces small-batch homemade sake year-round. Unlike imported Japanese sake, Artisan’s Osake is proudly produced from B.C.-grown rice as of 2013. The rice is fermented and through the brewing process creates a wine that is typically fruity and sometimes sweet."

The Best Coffee Shops in Vancouver
"Every café sells baked treats, but Their There in the beachside neighborhood of Kitsilano takes its carbs as seriously as its caffeine. After all, the nuanced notes of a single-origin Kenyan coffee deserve the equally sophisticated sweetness of Thai tea cronuts with lemongrass glaze and candied Thai basil. Their There sources beans from roasters like Vancouver’s Luna, while baking kouign-amanns, croissants and donuts in house."

Here are 11 places to get the absolute best donuts in Vancouver
"We’ve been so hyped up about Their There that we recently wrote an article just to talk about the specialty flavours. Turns out, if you want our attention, all you have to do is put ‘Froot Loops’, ‘Mochi’ and ‘Donuts’ together and actually bring the flavour to back it up. Word to the wise- this sounds relatively easy, but boy howdy do we know a lot of TLC goes into each donut here."
