Sake: Cold or Hot, Sip or Shot?

I’ve actually tasted the sake from Artisan Sake Maker before. On more than one occasion, in more than one Japanese izakaya bar. I even knew it came from Granville Island and, yah, I thought that was cool. But, their bottles of Osake sit unsuspectingly amongst many sakes behind the bar, so it’s hard to say […]

Meat Your Match at Oyama Sausage Company

There’s something very refined about ordering a charcuterie platter at a restaurant. It’s largely satisfying to look upon a beautiful spread of cured meats and to taste each and every one with the sophistication they deserve. The best charcuterie platters are served with a selection of cheese and bread pairings, and sometimes, if you’re lucky, […]

The Best Fish and Chips are on Granville Island

I’d love to have a bird’s-eye-view of Granville Island. Our signature red Vancouver Foodie Tour t-shirts would look like little dots leading clusters of people from Edible Canada to the Granville Island Public Market. From a bird’s-eye-view, the pedestrian traffic in and around the Granville Island Public Market would look similar to bees around a […]

They might just the be best kind of people out there. Foodies have great personalities Foodies are optimistic: We wake up thankful for a new day that is filled with opportunities for great food. Foodies have great attitudes: We know that any social situation can be conquered with the help of a good snack. Foodies […]

What is peanut butter without jelly?

I wanted to start off by saying a big thank you to our Vancouver food blog readers, tour guests, and foodie community for making this week such an exciting one for Vancouver Foodie Tours.

The Night I Ate Yak

Yak & Yeti Bistro 2958 W 4th Avenue Vancouver BC My fellow foodies can attest – it doesn’t take much to convince me to go out to eat in Vancouver. This week’s occasion was a noble one, as several restaurants were participating in Dining Out for Life. On Tuesday, March 25, 2014, participating restaurants donated 25% […]

Seriously Good Sausage: Bestie

Bestie 105 East Pender Vancouver In the spirit of Superbowl and indulgent snack food, I am reminded of a hole-in-the-wall in Chinatown that serves German-inspired street food (aka. seriously good sausage!) A few friends and I ventured there just before Christmas, (hence the guy in the Santa hat) on that one day in Vancouver where […]
