Vancouver’s got no shortage of top-notch Italian dining destinations, and folks now have a brand new place to enjoy contemporary bites influenced by the boot-shaped country: Gastronomy Gastown.
This concept comes to us from owners Kiarash Tarikhi and Sahand Bigloo, who have tapped Chef Alessandro Vianello (ARC Restaurant, Wildebeest, Kitchen Table Restaurants) to curate a menu of elevated eats and handmade wood-fired oven pizzas as the restaurant’s chef consultant.
Address: 62 East Cordova, Vancouver
Brightside

This café-turned-cocktail-bar comes to us from the folks behind Just Another Coffee Shop, the pop-up concept that was at the same 3040 West Broadway address prior.
Brightside is a more permanent business endeavour, though, and with its stylish interiors designed by Vancouver powerhouse Studio Roslyn, we’re happy it’s sticking around.
Address: 3040 West Broadway, Vancouver
Burger Crush

The concept’s 40-seat Vancouver burger shop aims to offer up the “perfect burger, fries, and shakes.”
The goal is for patrons to enjoy high-quality food that remains simple and approachable, according to the brand. Burger Crush’s menu is small but mighty, which allowed us to try most of the offerings during one visit.
Address: 755 Nelson Street, Vancouver
