Weekly Shout Out – Saint Franks, Andy Shauf, Turtle Express
Greetings pretty ponies! First of all, we apologize that our hiatus from web wrangling went on much longer than anticipated. We won’t bore you with the particulars, suffice to say, work/family obligations took precedent. Believe us when we say that if we had our druthers, we’d be out Horsing Around 24/7 but, sometimes, a man […]
Saltchuck Pie Company
Hello there, pretty ponies! We hope you have been getting along great. First of all, we apologize for the long hiatus. Work beckoned, and while we’d love to Horse Around 24/7, even dear old Monty has to work to earn his hay, er “pay”. No matter, we are delighted to be back, and just in […]
Wheelies Motorcycle Cafe
Wheelies is one of a kind – a custom motorcycle shop with an in house café serving surprisingly good food and drink at reasonable prices. The café menu is small & meticulously crafted: five sandwiches, three sides, and one dessert, and the drink menu similarly small but sophisticated. Wheelies also features live local punk, and rock’n’roll shows on weekends plus brunch to cure your hangover on Sunday mornings. Located in an industrial part of town Wheelies proves that sometimes, in order to find the good stuff, you need to venture off the beaten path.
La Taquisa
High quality authentic Mexican food available from two “cafeteria-style” service locations. Fast, fresh, delicious and very cheap considering the quality of food. A “Pete’s Pick” for pleasing our palates and our pocketbooks.
Duffin’s Donuts
Some of the most eclectic 24-hour menu selections in Vancouver. Mexican torta sandwiches, Fritou fried chicken, hamburgers, all-day breakfast, Chinese food, and Vietnamese noodle soup just to name a few (with a clientele as varied as the menu offerings). “Duck and cover” cold war décor with pre-fabricated furniture indestructible enough to survive nuclear Armageddon add to the charm. What more can we say except you might need some Rolaids after a visit to Duffin’s, but who cares when the food is as good and invigorating as these fine offerings.
Casa Nova Bakery Cafe
Portuguese bakery and deli featuring delicious soups & sandwiches, baked treats and breakfasts at low prices (as low as $6 for soup & sandwich!). Don’t miss the wonderful ” Pasteis de Nata” custard tarts.
La Cocina De Mama Oli
A cheerful family run kiosk in the Victoria Public Market serving fresh, authentic Mexican cuisine. Tasty, affordable lunch for well under 10 bucks. A burst of Mexican sunshine on a drizzly west coast day. One of our favourites.
Bubby Rose’s Bakery Cafe
Bubby Rose Bakery creates cinnamon roll nirvana along with specialty breads, croissants, pain au chocolate, and a tempting array of tarts and squares. They also have an Espresso Bar and lunch counter.
Italian Food Imports
A favourite quick lunch spot with wonderful sandwiches, paninis, and pasta. The best Italian specialty food shop with delicious cheeses, cured meats, artichokes, olive oil, pasta and much more.
Foo Asian Street Food
Southeast Asian inspired take-out cuisine. Their caramel chicken epitomizes everything we love about Vietnamese food. The perfect alchemy of fresh ingredients & contrasting textures, deftly combined.
