What is the best/neatest restuarant in downtown Van?

MangoJuice · #1 (**permalink**) Jan 22, 04

My friend Leanne and I are coming up from Penticton for the Linkin Park concert Feb 12, and we are planning on staying a few days.. I just wanted to know what some sweet restuarants are in the downtown Van area, and if you know the exact address thatd be cool too!! Were not too rich either so nothing where a meal would be over like 15$

Thanks!

what kinda eater are you?

seeing as youre from penticton it's kinda hard not too assume you got lame taste in food

MangoJuice · #4 (**permalink**) Jan 22, 04

haha yeah not much of a variety here... well I love pasta, salads, burgers, whatever! Im pretty much up for anything but seafood (I love seafood but Leanne hates it)

cactus club.

theres one on robson

ummm....
if you like sushi...toyo on davie street.

good call, my friend's dad owns the chain of cacti clubs, as it were.

ummmmm i'd recommend you check some of the ethnic food in vancouver while you have the chance
some indian, thai, whatever strikes your fancy

unless you dont like spicey food, in which case you suck!
then again, you like linkin park, so you're already half way there!

juuuuuuuuust kiddin!!

linkin park REALLY blows, though.

Cactus Club is a safe bet, nothing to offend anyone's taste.

hmm..let see what am i addicted to lately....

Vibes on 555 Davie and DV8 right beside it.

Ho-Ho's also on davie...and any donair place on commercial.

Kelster · #9 (**permalink**) Jan 22, 04

i wouldn't recomend 555 vibes...i don't dig their food at all

cactus is allright, but it's the kinda food that i'm sure you can get in penticton

try subeez...the price is decent and the food is safe and the place is 'cool'

Cactus Club is wank, if you want to go to a "cool" venue why would you go to a friggin franchise. Their no differnet than Moxies, or Earls, or Milestones, etc., etc., etc. If you dont mind a 4 min. drive from downtown, Feenies on W. Broadway is pretty cool, Muarya Indian resteraunt at W. Broadway and Pine is amazing, and there's a little joint on Robson called Cin-Cin that has some really decent appies and entrees, and w/o a doubt one of the best wine lists in the city.

Cheers,
Dialate

Sugar Refinery.

Profived the city hasn't shut it down.

Subeez
Wild Rice.

Don't bother with the cactus club.

SUBEEZ has the best garlic mayo fries ever (and you'll be able to eat for under $15 for sure)

Good choice!

Why are ppl picking Cactus club? Yeah the chicks are borderline porn- stars, but If you want authentic Van City culture...Check out a lesser know restaurants with "good" music...and not not pish-posh attitude...Subeez is another good place- even the Urban Well is good...Jupiter cafe. etc..I could go on- I love to eat out!

Dialate · #14 (**permalink**) Jan 22, 04

You got the right idea C-2, Balthazar is another good one.

Senior · #15 (**permalink**) Jan 23, 04

Subeez is good, gotta love the "drinky menu" and 555 Davie has good food to. I was just suggesting Cactus because it is basically boring predictable food, as said nothing to offend anyone.

Good call just keep in mind they have a dress code and it's a bit pricey, same for Cin Cin minus the dress code.

I would mention The Crime Lab and others but you did say under 15 bones ....so Taf's Cafe on Granville near Robson street.

PHUNK · #18 (**permalink**) Jan 23, 04

15 bucks? what the fuck can you get for 15 bucks?

dollar pizza anywhere downtown is all you can get.
