Food Scene

Expect to line up at all hours of the day, but it is so good! Very flavourful ice cream, very rich and decadent. They always have at least one vegan flavour as well.

One of Vancouver's most famous sushi restaurants in a city that is full of sushi restaurants. Very expensive, though.

Authentic Malaysian street food. There is very little space in the restaurant, so depending on the time, you may need to wait for a table. Cash only, so come prepared! Very informal, order at the counter and seat yourself.

Amazingly good Italian food, but quite pricey. If you have a larger group, I highly recommend the family style option where you pay a set fee and the chef decides what to feed you. They are always busy, so if you are planning to go, make reservations as soon as possible, or plan for up to a 3 hour wait.
