Pho Van
Pho Van on Fraser Street in East Vancouver is a Vietnamese restaurant that’s still kicking it old school. Neon lights, bright red decoration and oversized mirrors take you away to a little hole in the wall in East Asia. The big screen TV in the corner is showcasing a singer on a variety show crooning to Ricky Martin’s “Nobody Wants to be Lonely,” while we enjoy some pho.

Au Petit Chavignol
Au Petite Chavignol is a stylish cheese and wine bar right on the edge of one of the most seediest neighbourhoods in Vancouver. This is first and foremost a cheese and wine bar — the cooked food menu is condensed and the primary ingredient is — you got it — cheese.

Ginger Ale Kit Kat
We stumbled on to another member of the Kit Kat Family Tree — Ginger Ale Kit Kat. The Ginger Ale Kit Kat is coated in white chocolate and doesn’t taste like Ginger Ale at all, but more like lemon meringue with a subtle carbonated tickle. I’m not sure how the Kit Kat folks at Nestle pulled this one out of the bag, it’s pretty yummy! Unlike the terrible Banana Kit Kat fiasco (shudder), this one is a winner.
Eight 1/2 Restaurant Lounge
Eight 1/2 Restaurant Lounge is located on East 8th avenue, tucked away in a cute hundred year old building that once held Bains Chocolate making house. The sleek, cozy decor with open bar gives the dining room an intimate ambiance where people can enjoy with company or freely at the bar.
