Here is a select list of food & drink events happening around town between July and September 2025. They are most likely in Vancouver but I'll try to cover the Lower Mainland and beyond, as much as I can. Obviously, I can't know everything and can't cover everything, but I will continue to update this list until the next quarter comes.
Hello 2023!! 2022 is a wrap and there's so much to be grateful for and to celebrate. Here are my favourite 10 bites/sips. Now keep in mind this list is about the specific item listed, and restaurants rotate their menu on a regular basis so what I had enjoyed may not be available anymore (and I will try my best to specify below).
While we were staying in Courtenay, we learned that there were two breweries in town plus another one in Cumberland. It was a very hot summer day and we needed some refreshing beer to cool us down, so we paid Gladstone Brewing a visit!
If you are asking for suggestions around Mid Vancouver Island, almost everyone would tell you about this little town named Coombs. So what's there?
The biggest draw is definitely the Old Country Market, better known as the Goats on the Roof Market. Namely, there are living goats on the roof! We were lucky to see a few of them grazing and chilling on the roof.
While we were there, we had lunch at the Cuckoo Trattoria Italian Restaurant next door. It has a good selection of pasta and pizza dishes.
We took a trip to Vancouver Island. It was a pretty epic trip -- travelled from Nanaimo to Port Hardy and San Josef Bay in the northwest corner, and everywhere in between -- 2,300km in 9 days. First stop, Nanaimo. It was brunch time when we arrived in Nanaimo. Downtown Nanaimo has no shortage of brunch options, and Gabriel's Cafe caught my eyes.
