The owner remembered my name from last time. Felt like a regular even though I&#39;ve only been twice. That kind of personal touch is nice.

The paella was so flavourful, definitely worth the 30-minute wait. What I really loved was the ambiance - warm lighting, rustic tiles, and just the right level of chatter. Felt relaxed the whole time.

The short rib was really tender and came with a nice couscous and veg. The cheesecake was a good finish. Service was a bit slow, but the food was solid.

The pizza was pretty good, fresh and you can add extra toppings. The craft beers were a nice touch, went well with the food. A solid spot for a casual meal.

Love the vibe here in Hintonburg! The space is so well-designed. I keep coming back for their espresso - it&#39;s got a really nice, smooth finish. Street parking is a bit tricky sometimes, but the coffee is worth it.

The eggs Benedict with crab cakes really stood out. The eggs were perfectly poached, and you could taste the freshness of the crab. The portion was quite generous. The smashed potatoes were a nice, hearty side.

Happy hour nachos are solid, fresh and loaded. Grabbed a local beer to go with them. Good spot for a quick bite.

The server knew the menu inside out, which made ordering so much easier. Really appreciated the help with the steak options.

Nice spot for a quiet coffee. The flat white was smooth, not bitter at all. Pastry was fresh, flaky. Staff were chill, didn&#39;t rush us. A bit pricey for the size, but the vibe is solid.

Been coming here for years. The vindaloo&#39;s gravy is always silky smooth. Lamb chops are still my go-to, just as good as ever.

The porchetta sandwich is the star. The meat is so flavorful and tender, and that focaccia is just... wow. It&#39;s the kind of simple, thoughtful detail that makes a place stand out.

Loved the classic pub vibe. The taxidermy decor is a unique touch, and the karaoke between Christmas and Boxing Day created such a fun, lively atmosphere.

The stone bowl bibimbap was pretty good, flavourful and hot. Service was fine, though the tea selection was a bit limited.

Tried their vegan ice cream on a whim. Honestly, it&#39;s up there with the best ice cream I&#39;ve had, period. The flavors are super creative and actually taste great. Really impressed.

The Broadway Skillet came out sizzling, and that sound alone made my morning. The bar area had a nice, buzzing energy to it. Just a really solid breakfast spot.

Got the fish and chips. The portion was huge, definitely enough for two. The coleslaw on the side was really good. Solid pub meal for the price.

Live music on Thursdays and Fridays is a nice touch. Grabbed a late-night drink and the vibe was fun, energetic.

Been coming here for years. It&#39;s my go-to for a casual pint and a bite. The pub vibe is just right - not too loud, feels like a proper local spot. Good for meeting up with a couple friends.

The souvlaki here is so good! The chicken was perfectly grilled and the tzatziki was fresh and garlicky. Portions are generous for the price. Service was quick and friendly. Found my new go-to spot for a casual dinner.

This restaurant has a charming location near the water, perfect for a relaxing meal. The ambiance is inviting, and the service is top-notch, making it a great place to unwind.

Been coming here for years. The oysters are always fresh, that&#39;s why I keep coming back. Wine list is decently priced too.

The owner is so kind, you can tell she puts her heart into the food. My bubble tea was lovely, but I always ask for less sugar. The veggies in my bowl tasted really fresh, which I appreciate.

This maple latte is the real deal. They actually use real maple syrup, not just flavored syrup. It&rsquo;s the perfect cozy drink for a rainy Vancouver day. The barista remembered my order from last time, which was a nice touch.

Been coming here for years, and the club sandwich is still my go-to. Real chicken breast, crispy bacon, and fresh veggies. They just put it together right. Fries are solid too.

Solid spot in Hintonburg. Street parking was fine even on a busy night. Grabbed a few pints and some apps with a buddy. The vibe is good for just hanging out.
