Persian cuisine in Vancouver: Zeitoon

By Mijune

Last week I asked Vancouver “Where are all the Middle Eastern Restaurants?” It’s a cuisine often overlooked in our multicultural city and with our limited options, it’s worth a closer look. I set out on a mission to breakdown this hodgepodge of “Middle Eastern cuisine” and learn more about it – starting with Persian cuisine.

Follow Me Foodie: Greek food, restaurant & ingredient tips in Vancouver, BC

By Mijune

With Greek Day having taken place last weekend on West Broadway, I thought it would be a good idea to write about Greek food this week. Thank goodness my best friend is marrying Costa, but every time I ask where to get certain Greek dishes he always replies “my mom’s house.” Argh.

Dine Out Vancouver Festival: Restaurants serving pork

By Mijune

There are lots of places to pig out during Dine Out Vancouver Festival, but here are places actually putting pig on the plate. From a strip of bacon, to pancetta, pulled pork and tenderloin, I’ve collected all dishes using any part of the pig. Yes, I had to read all 263 menus to find every pork dish being featured.

Zeitoon Restaurant and Grill House (Persian Restaurant)

By Mijune

It is best to use this post as a rough guideline and part introduction to Persian cuisine. It is simply my experience getting to know it better. At the same time I don’t want to take away from how good Zeitoon is and much of the Persian community calls it “a good standard for traditional Persian food”.
