Lunch at the Cactus Club Cafe on Burrard, Vancouver

March 21, 2016 by Suzie the Foodie 6 Comments

Cactus Club Cafe is a foodie icon in Vancouver. Led by Chef Rob Feenie, Canada’s first Iron Chef, this is THE place to be on a sunny Friday afternoon for lunch. Which my friend Tamara and I discovered when we got together for food downtown on Burrard Street. Crazy busy! Thankfully the wait was just 15 […]

Restaurant Review: Huang’s Beef Noodle Restaurant

March 9, 2016 by Suzie the Foodie 6 Comments

Huang’s Beef Noodle Restaurant has been at 6940 Victoria Drive at 54th Avenue forever! At least since I used to live across the street from it back in 2000, the first time I lived in Vancouver. I had never been inside and wanted to change that on an unforgivingly wet and cold winter day. I also […]

Lunch at Breka on Davie Street, Vancouver

March 1, 2016 by Suzie the Foodie 14 Comments

Breka Bakery & Café was supposed to be my oasis. I went downtown for an important medical appointment and, as usual, ended up being super early. I thought this would give me time to treat myself to lunch and the place was packed so clearly, it was popular. I thought that was a good sign. The […]

Restaurant Review: El Caracol Cafe on Victoria Drive, Vancouver

February 7, 2016 by Suzie the Foodie 5 Comments

You will find El Caracol Cafe at 5183 Victoria Drive at 36th Avenue. In some ways it is hard to miss. So colourful and fun on the outside. For the longest time I wanted to go inside and check it out. My friend Kris and I decided to open up our own little eBay store and had done some […]

Lunch at The Cannibal Café

January 31, 2016 by Suzie the Foodie 2 Comments

Yesterday was my mom’s birthday and I really wanted to honour her by going out and feasting. Which I knew was going to be a challenge because my health has been struggling but I went for it. I invited my friend Kris to join me for lunch at The Cannibal Café located at 1818 Commercial Drive. Above […]

New Year’s Eve at the Storm Crow 2015/2016

January 2, 2016 by Suzie the Foodie 4 Comments

Reg and I jumped at the chance of celebrating the New Year at Storm Crow Tavern for their FEASTPOCALYPSE! We watched the Darth Vader Yule Log burn all night as we ate and ate. Reg wore his Tony Stark/Iron Man shirt and I donned my Wonder Woman bracelets. Lots of people were dressed up in Medieval garb and I […]

Critical Hit at The Rio in Vancouver

November 27, 2015 by Suzie the Foodie 4 Comments

Reg and I have been in Vancouver for over a year now and FINALLY got to The Rio Theatre which is at Broadway & Commercial. We love rep theatres and have not had one to go to since we stopped hanging out at The Mayfair in Ottawa over a decade ago. Not only do they show movies […]

Reg’s Bday Dinner at The Storm Crow

November 9, 2015 by Suzie the Foodie 2 Comments

Yesterday was Reg’s birthday and I did my best to spoil him rotten! First we went to see a matinee of The Martian with Matt Damon. Reg loves all things survival and sci-fi-oriented. Me? I had a huge headache and needed therapy after the movie, LOL. It was a great movie though, perfect choice. We […]

The Quest for Food on Grouse Mountain

October 24, 2015 by Suzie the Foodie 4 Comments

Reg and I could not be together for our anniversary so when there was the most unbelievably beautiful weather yesterday, we decided to go for an anniversary adventure and go up to Grouse Mountain. You either have to climb the Grouse Grind to get up there or take the gondola. Gondola it was! The only […]

Canada Day in Vancouver

July 2, 2015 by Suzie the Foodie 4 Comments

Reg and I wanted to go downtown for Canada Day and every time we do, we seem to find ourselves at Siegel’s. This tradition goes back back to the first time we lived in Vancouver in 2000. Canada Day was the company’s 25th anniversary and they were giving away free bagels with cream cheese! Their bagels […]
