Nero waffles
@krisbel
Their sweet and salty waffles are really good. It gets full fast, so it is recommended to go just as it opens or for dinner when there are not many customers.

A very nice Vietnamese restaurant if you're looking for some comfort food. There is a wide variety of dishes to choose from. The taste is delicate and not too strong. They offer free refillable tea with their food so feel free to ask for it if they didn't offer it when you sat down.

Indian restaurant with a wide variety of dishes. Our all-time favorite was the coconut prawn curry. You can choose the amount of spice you want depending on how much you can handle the spiciness.

Takis' Taverna Greek Restaurant
@krisbel
My favorite Greek food restaurant. The food is delicious and at a very good price. Be aware that the portions are quite big so if you don't eat that much it's better to either go during lunch as they have half portions or share with another person. My friend ate here 11 years ago and it's still her favorite Greek restaurant.

Thida Thai Restaurant
@krisbel
My first Thai restaurant. Went there with a Thai friend and she was in charge of ordering. She said the dishes were quite authentic, so this is a very good option for those who like Thai cuisine or want to try it. Be aware that Thai food can be quite spicy so do order the mild or not spicy if you aren't used to spicy food.

Ramen Danbo
@krisbel
The best ramen I've eaten in Vancouver. Also, the favorite of all my Japanese friends as it is quite authentic. They have an online stamp card, and you can get free gyoza or ramen if you get enough stamps from your visits. Be aware that it's really popular so there's a line almost all the time. I would recommend being there as soon as they open at 11 am if you don't want to wait.

Hotel List

Barclay Hotel
@krisbel
Budget friendly hotel in great location close to a lot of great restaurants and at walking distance from a lot of stores and entertainment areas. Clean with friendly staff. Recommended for people with small or little luggage as they have no elevator, so it might be difficult to carry big suitcases upstairs. Also recommended mostly for younger people as it's not very elderly friendly due to the lack of elevator. The rooms vary in size and might not have fridge or microwave. Amenities: - Free WiFi - Air conditioner - TV - Hairdryer
