Vancouver Restaurants

  1. Alibi Room

    Snake up past the Water and Carrall Sts intersection to find this convivial resto-lounge, where the design and film industry crowds congregate at long tables sharing comfort food and bitchy stories about work. A cozy place on a rainy day, nosh here includes classics with a twist such as vegetarian meatloaf with sweet potato mash, and macaroni and cheese tossed in crab-and-shrimp cream.

  2. Gorilla Food

    More guerrilla than gorilla, this tiny hole-in-the-wall take-out joint is a pilgrimage spot for raw food devotees. Mimicking the diet of its namesake, nothing is cooked, leading to innovative treats such as crunchy lasagne (strips of zucchini substitute for pasta) and pizza made from a dehydrated seed crust and topped with tomato sauce, tenderized zucchini and mashed avocado. Save room for an icy almond shake dessert.
