Every foodie, food-hipster, and food enthusiast has their eye on Main Street. It’s more than an up-and-coming area because it’s already quite happening. It’s always had a neighbourhood feel and eclectic charm, and it’s where old things become new again.
From independent cafés, casual and affordable eateries, and even some sophisticated choices, it’s an area worth exploring any time and day of the week.
While most people are anticipating the new and “coming soon” restaurants (I am too), I can’t help but to bring attention to the local favourites. They might not come up on everyone’s radar, but if you’re on top of Vancouver’s Asian food scene then you’re familiar with my following recommendations.
I tend to gravitate towards Richmond when it comes to Asian food cravings, specifically Chinese, but Vancouver has some competition. The city’s massive Asian population makes our Asian food scene well known in North America, and some of my favourite Asian dishes are found on Main Street. – Read my full article and see my recommendations.
