View a complete list of first, second, and third place winners online, on an interactive map, or in this week’s issue of the Georgia Straight. Remember to support local business and visit your favourites often for the best beer, cocktails, brunch, hamburger, or ramen in town.
I also wanted to make a special note about the Roaming Dragon food truck (that placed 3rd in its category). They catered Vancouver’s Twestival last night and were a huge success. To keep the momentum going, they’re donating 20% of their sales on Monday, March 28th, to our Twestival cause, Beauty Night. Please stop by and see them between 12:00pm and 3:00pm at 1075 West Georgia.

Thanks for the recap Rebecca! I’m amazed sometimes how many wonderful and diverse Vancouver restaurants we have!
I think it’s pretty awesome that there are categories just for ramen and izakayas!
Sophie’s for breakfast?! There’s at least 8 better places within a stone’s throw of that overhyped monstrosity.
Awesome list! I would like to try Jang Mo Jib. Thanks for this wonderful post.
