Pizzeria Barbarella is the newest pizzeria to hit Vancouver, but it’s not the newest to hit the Metro Vancouver pizza scene. The owner is actually the previous owner of Ah-Beetz Pizza which was located in Abbotsford. It was once the only place to get authentic New York/Neapolitan pizza.

On the second day of Chinese New Year my true love gave to me, the “Year of the Dragon” Afternoon Tea! It may not be traditional, but it’s something new, modern and still festive to the New Year. Finish with a Matcha Fortune Cookie!

With a focus on paninis, the lunch menu is rather limited and simple, but the food is homemade with care. The place is trendy, the portions are fair, and the prices are reasonable and affordable for the area, which makes BREAD an easy local favourite.

I love eggs. I will eat them here and there, I will eat them ANYWHERE! Egg is a casual breakfast and brunch hot spot in Brooklyn, New York featuring an eclectic menu with Southern influence. The Eggs Rothko is the claim to fame and a must try!

I could smell “hipster, but don’t call me hipster” from across the street. It’s creative comfort food with a twist, but I was slightly more inspired by the concept and menu descriptions than I was with the outcome of some of the dishes. Still a fun spot though!

The food isn’t fancy or creative, so it might not be as exciting or interesting, but it is simple and authentic. The menu makes it one of the more traditional izakayas I’ve been to so far with reasonable prices and portions.
