In the heart of the central business district of downtown Vancouver lies the Royal Dinette brought to you by the people behind Farmer's Apprentice.

There's an adorable little bakery in Crosstown that is a feast for the eyes as much as it is for the stomach.

An excellent Italian dining experience in Downtown Vancouver.

We were a fan of the Luke's General Store pop-up shop in Chinatown, so were excited to pay a visit to their brick and mortar shop

For Dine Out Vancouver we selected Minami because we really enjoyed dining at Miku last year and the menu looked promising. 

I've been dying to eat at Le Crocodile ever since I learned this restaurant has been responsible for being the culinary playground for so many of Vancouver's finest chefs.

We went on the Dine out Vancouver Craft Distillery tour with Off the Eaten Track Culinary Walking Tours.  This is the first post of three detailing our visit, beginning at Odd Society

We splurged on peking duck and it did not disappoint. The crispy duck is sliced thinly and served with scallion, pancakes, and bean sauce.

Circle Craft Christmas Market will be back at the Vancouver Convention Centre West on November 11 thru 16, 2014. We have a pair of tickets to give away courtesy of Circle Craft Christmas Market.

The theme of Giovane is Italian from day to night.

 I had my first pour over here, and my first flat white and they've set the bar high for all other coffee shops since.

Unique in Vancouver, this Old Fashioned Malt Shop serves decadent sodas, sundaes, malts, egg creams (classic Brooklyn, Bronx, and San Francisco Style) and floats made with local craft products.

I've been travelling alot lately and it's made me appreciate just how good I have it at home. I went to Oakwood Canadian Bistro for dinner with a bunch of friends and was very pleased with the meal. 

Turns out Chilliwack is notorious for more than just sweet summer corn. In their tiny airport, lies a some coffee shop with affordably priced diner food and spectacular pie. 

With the promise of brunch, I managed to peel myself off the couch to hang out on Main St. for a few hours. We ended up at Portland Craft. I had their much hyped Chicken and Waffles. Verdict? 

There are countless hot dog vendors all over Vancouver, but the distinction of the best Hot Dog in Vancouver goes without a doubt to Dougiedog.

If you are in and around West 4th, I recommend you check out Fable, a restaurant focusing on serving it up 'farm to table'. 

This is a cute little cafe in Downtown Vancouver mainly specializing in soups and sandwiches. It's charming and bustling with limited selection for non-vegetarians. 

For arguably the best thin crust pizza in Vancouver try Famoso on Commercial. Here we have the Capricisso with a Margherita Pizza.

Valentine's Day saw me driving through Beta5 at dusk hoping to claim a box of their award winning chocolates for my sweetheart.

Usually located in the South Hill neighbourhood, JJ's Trucketeria doesn't get into the downtown very often but we were treated to a rare appearance during the Street Food City.

Reel Mac and Cheese was one of 17 trucks that participated in the Street Food City at the Vancouver Art Gallery. If the line-ups were any indication, the comfort food trend like Mac and Cheese is still wildly popular.

Budin is a coffee shop, beer bar, and design experience in New York with Nordic inspired designer goods, chocolate, clothes and bikes.

We stumbled upon this charming little farmer's Market at Southbank in London. 

 If there was a checklist of things a coffee shop should do well, Tap would ace all categories.

Before a leisurely day at the British Museum, Jong and I detoured over to Nude Espresso to grab breakfast. As London's leading micro roastery they take their coffee very seriously.

Everyone, meet the Coconut Tiger Shrimp Bahn Mi.

The cheese truck rolls up every other Sunday at the Steveston Farmer's Market and we book it there on our bikes to meet it as it arrives in hopes of scoring some of their small batch butter, cheese curds, and whole milk.

While on our Harry Potter Walking tour, we managed to sneak away from the herd to grab flat whites from New Row Coffee, "Purveyors of kick ass coffee".

Once our eyes fell on the cafe we looked forward to enjoying this space. It was a relaxing experience by attentive but casual staff.

It's a gritty area, but isn't street food supposed to be a little gritty?

The best pizza in Bellingham can be found at Goat Mountain Pizza. 

John is passionate about coffee and it's rare that he meets people that truly, love coffee as much as he does. On a sunny Saturday morning he wanted to make the journey to America to check out Onyx Coffee Bar, and I was happy to oblige him.

A few blocks from our hotel near Times Square is a burger joint called the Shake Shack. It was hard to miss with line-ups at all hours of the night. What was the big deal? We wondered...
