It offers modern French cakes and pastries made with local ingredients and West Coast flavour, but with traditional French techniques. I did find most of them sounding better in the descriptions, but it is still one of the better patisseries in the city.

There was quite a bit of hype when Pronto Caffe first opened last year and it was mostly due to Vancouver’s sandwich craze, specifically for the porchetta sandwich. As a neighbourhood restaurant it’s a good choice with it’s casual and cozy atmosphere and affordable prices.

Fried chicken has been the craze for the last few years in New York and the one at Peels has made several “Top 10 Best Fried Chicken in New York” lists. The menu features gourmet comfort food and American regional classics and it was an eclectic approach to farm to table dining.

It was definitely fancy pants coffee, or fancy tight hipster pants coffee, so you either get it or you don’t. They offer brew flights and tasting flights with complimentary tastings every Friday from 1-2pm. Coffee lovers paradise!

It offers breakfasts, salads, sandwiches, and healthy options made with fresh ingredients. It’s affordable, clean, comfortable, straight forward, casual and everything is made in house besides the bread. It’s a great every day kind of place for breakfast or lunch.

Although Bel Cafe offers gourmet soups, sandwiches and salads with West Coast flare, it is equally known for its freshly baked goods and of course macarons. Their Parisian Macarons are one of the most sought over in the city.

Pull at my heart strings. I’m almost embarrassed that it took me so long to discover this hidden gem. A fundraiser dinner with Bocuse D’or Canadian Chef Alex Chen at the new Cafe 374. A cafe worth supporting!
