Where are all the Middle Eastern restaurants in Vancouver, BC?

By Mijune

C’mon Vancouver! For a supposedly world-class multicultural city, we can do better than that, can’t we? Are the only options for authentic Middle Eastern cuisine hole-in-the-wall restaurants with under $10 menu options that are open until the sun comes up?

Must Try Cauliflower Dishes in Vancouver, BC!

By Mijune

Follow Me Foodie to the renaissance of cauliflower: The history and varieties of cauliflower and deconstructing the craze. There is a science to caramelizing the cauliflower, and having it soft but not mushy, and crisp but not crunchy. I’ll experiment in the kitchen, but for now, indulge in these!

Follow Me Foodie to New York: Restaurants, bars, food & drinks worth flying for!

By Mijune

This list will continue to grow for sure. It’s New York, arguably “the best” food city in North America. I really dislike “best of” lists and I think “the best food city” is dependent on what kind of food you want, but generally many would agree that New York has it all – and they do.

Chambar Restaurant (Belgian/French)

By Mijune

I compare it to a beautiful cashmere sweater that ages well and never goes out of style, but it is easy to forget with new fashions (or restaurants) always coming up. However when I remember to try it on again, it always fits regardless of age and it has European charm with Vancouver feel.

Nuba – Hastings (Gastown, Downtown)

By Mijune

I enjoy Nuba more as a healthy restaurant with Mediterranean and Lebanese influences, but not as much as an authentic Lebanese restaurant. Authenticity aside I did find the food good and it is a nice cozy lunch or dinner spot for an affordable and healthy meal, but I’m not really the clientele for it.

Mangal Kiss Mid East BBQ (Food Cart)

By Mijune

It focuses on Middle Eastern street food that’s relatively quite healthy and noticeably fresh. Vancouver doesn’t have many options for Middle Eastern cuisine to start off with and while we have several donair and kebab shops, there are few that are bringing the quality and bright flavours of Mangal Kiss.

Portland, Oregon – Tasty n Sons

By Mijune

It’s a popular hot spot & local favourite in Portland, Oregon serving eclectic tapas inspired by local ingredients for breakfast, brunch, and dinner. It’s definitely a neighbourhood and local favourite and it’s one of the less obvious choices for tourists too.
