Vancouver - Where are good places to eat here?
I lived in Calgary for the last 5.5years and got to know quite a few places there but, now that I am back here: What and where is a good place to eat? I like all nationalities, except Amishian.

Oh, I guess you were being sarcastic.

Oh ... too many good places ... don't know where to start ...
After spending months working in Vancouver (i.e. staying at a hotel & eating out every day), here are my picks:
Breakfast - Elbow room, Solly's
Cool casual hangout - Wild rice (martini!), Lucy Mae Brown, Bin 941 (wine!)
Japanese (all-you-can-eat) - Kamei (must be the one at Cambie & Broadway), Tanpopo on Denman (yummy white tuna sashimi!), Shabusen (I have not tried it but came highly recommended)
Note: I must say that contrary to popular belief, I find Tojo grossly overprice & quality of sashimi / sushi not much better than other good sushi places!
Japanese 'pub grub' - "Garlic" (Robson near Denman), Gyoza King
Japanese noodle - Kintaro
Ice cream - La Casa (must sample the strange flavours like garlic, balsamic vinegar, ...), Mama's on Denman
West coast - C, Rain City Grill (amazing wine picks!), Diva
Chinese noodle - Shaolin, Ho Tak Kee (Broadway & Kingsway)
Note: Coming from Toronto, I find the quality & selection of Chinese food much better there, so not many Chinese food recommendation.
Greek - Stepho's (mmm ... yummy grill lamb!)
Mexican - small take-out on Commercial Dr right next to an Indian take-out place
Afghan Horseman also comes highly recommended
That's all that come to mind now ... Enjoy!
