14 Best BC Restaurants That Are Worth Getting Out Of The City For
After I moved downtown, I ventured within a 5 mile radius of my apartment to establish a solid list of go-to takeout spots. This concrete-jungle-hermit-shell of food joints allows me to get Greek, pizza, Portuguese chicken (and a dozen other things) without walking for more than 10 minutes. The servers at my designated sushi spot have started to irritably recognise my voice over the phone when I order my usual: sushi special with two dynamite, 1 chicken roll.
One of the best parts about living in a city as culturally diverse as Vancouver is the abundance of delicious food from all over the world. But even though almost everything is available right within the downtown core, there are still areas that unquestionably have their specialties.
As people from all over make Canada their home, they bring with them secret family recipes and traditions from their countries of origin. What's better motivation for a quick journey away from the city than a delicious plate of authentic food? Here are 14 delicious restaurants that are worth getting out of Vancouver for:
