Blunt Bros Cafe

Amsterdam-Style Atmosphere

301 West Hastings St
(near Cambie)
Vancouver, BC V6B 1H6
Canada
+1 604 682 6788
http://www.bluntbros.com/

This part of the city is called Little Amsterdam, and Blunt Bros. is one reason why. Patrons range from 20-something college kids to beatniks of all ages. They come for the food and the relaxed atmosphere. The cafe, located right beside Gastown, is decorated like an uptown rec room, complete with pool tables, sofas, tables with backgammon boards and suspended speakers. The food is perfect for satisfying the munchies. Specialties include the Stoner's Salad and wraps known as "blunts" (the "Jamaican Blunt" has jerk chicken, rice, potatoes and sweet corn). Local amateur musicians entertain the crowd at Open Mic Night every Thursday.

Canadian Maple Delights Gourmet Bistro & Shoppe

As Canadian as maple syrup 769 Hornby St
Vancouver, BC V6Z 1S2
Canada
+1 604 682 6175
http://www.mapledelights.com/ Every menu item at this downtown bistro has a distinct maple flavour. The gift shop exclusively sells products made from pure organic maple, like vintage syrups, vinaigrettes and onion marmalades. The shop is modern and spacious, with a large, covered outdoor patio overlooking the Vancouver Art Gallery. Try the mushroom and wild rice soup and one of the sandwich selections, which include vegetarian (eggplant, zucchini, red pepper and maple-glazed sweet potatoes). The maple curry chicken salad is a favourite. Complete your meal with maple wine and gourmet dessert.

Gresham's BBQ and Bakery

New York deli-style sandwiches 901 Granville Street
Vancouver, BC V6Z 1L3
Canada
+1 604 681 1556 You only have to go as far as Granville Street to savour a New York deli-style sandwich. This bakery-cum-rotisserie-cum-coffee bar has brought the taste of the Big Apple to Lotus Land. Bricks on the walls and metal chandeliers and seating add an industrial touch to the dining room, which is divided into food and beverage stations. Have the Louisiana Pulled Chicken Sandwich or the Barbecued Baby Back Ribs. Complete the picture with Seafood Chowder or Thai Noodle and Shrimp Salad, Gresham's Lager, and for dessert, a Tiger Brownie.

House of Foccacia

A myriad of flatbreads 102-500 West Broadway
Vancouver, BC V5Z 1E9
Canada
+1 604 876 8433 This cafe has two varieties of pita, eight types of foccacia, four kinds of panini and four hot tortilla-wrapped sandwiches. The décor is more European bistro than regular deli - small, round tables and wrought-iron chairs. There's a window counter where you can watch the street hustle and bustle. There are daily menu specials, each with fresh soup of the day or salad. The bread and fillings vary as well. There's a grilled foccacia and tortilla for both meat and veggie lovers. The panini is served with cetto or chicken. Cash only.
