Kaplan's Deli

Way to wide for your mouth giant pastrami, corned beef, smoked meat sandwiches and pickles the way pickles are really supposed to taste like. A Vancouver gem for over 50 years.

Montmartre

Tucked off to the side on main, an art nouveau header draws one in. Narrow candlelit room and wooden bistro chairs provide a comfortable viewpoint to catch one of the local folksy bands or some poetic artspeak. Great place for a casual date. Grab a glass of Beaujolais or sip a Pernod. Crepes, pizzas, desserts .

A great escape to a fun filled world of Mexican gourmet. Expect to find an umbrella perched in your drink and resplendent flavours on your tongue.
