When I moved to Vancouver from Toronto a few months ago with one of my best friends, we had three #lifegoals in mind: go skiing on a legit west coast mountain, make some friends other than each other (how do you make friends as an adult?) and find our new favourite restos in the city. So, to help in our search for Vancity foodie heaven, we decided to turn to the pros. So, locals, visitors: here are the best culinary tours in Van.
Vancouver Food Tour (Gastown Tasting Tour)
Vancouver Food Tour’s Gastown Tasting Tour serves up drinks and bites at four restaurants in the city’s oldest neighbourhood. Our first stop at Revel Room had us tasting a classic Bourbon Sour, as well as fish tacos, devilled eggs and chicken bites. The Salt Tasting Room, gave us three wine selections and a delicious charcuterie plate (try anything with the Guinness mustard!). Calabash Bistro, a Carribean spot, served up Dark and Stormys, plantain chips, Jamaican patties (with some of the best hot sauce I’ve tasted”please sell this Calabash!) and chicken skewers. Finally, we stopped in at the Irish Heather, where we had more charcuterie and three samples of local brews. Yum.
