Our mission
Local, honest restaurant recommendations.
We spotlight neighbourhood gems and iconic dishes with straightforward, reader-first reviews. We started with breakfast & brunch — because Vancouver mornings are elite — and we’re building out guides for dinners and other restaurant categories next.
What we publish: top lists, neighbourhood guides, maps, and short features. Always concise, always useful.
How we rank
Our selection & ranking criteria
We combine first-hand visits with community feedback and public data. No PR spend required. Quality rules.
- Food quality & signature dishes — flavour, consistency, value
- Service & vibe — warmth, line management, accessibility
- Reliability — hours, seating comfort, wait experience
- Neighbourhood role — locally rooted cafés get a small boost
- Public sentiment — recency and trajectory of reviews
Update cadence
Lists are reviewed at least quarterly. Notable openings/closures trigger quicker updates.
