** (of four stars)

I’ve been longing to dine at Foundation for months since I heard about it – one of the few very vegan-friendly restaurants in Vancouver. I finally got the chance after spending a long afternoon at Metrotown, and my wife and I stopped at Main Street on the way home. It was about 7pm on a Saturday and when we got there it was packed.

** (of four stars)

I expected a town like Vancouver to contain more destinations for decent fish and chips. I’m not exactly certain why I thought that, maybe it’s because the city is overrun with sushi restaurants and, hey, sushi is just one step removed from fish and chips, isn’t it? Maybe not, but the lack of places to get fish and chips is nonetheless troubling.
