Vancouver is often touted as a place where you can snowboard in the morning and bike around the seawall in the afternoon, and that’s awesome , but even better is that you can have the same diversity eating out. You can easily have a mouth-watering Liège Belgian waffle for breakfast, authentic Shawarma for lunch and then a perfectly spiced Thai curry for dinner - oftentimes all in the same block.
A through-and-through Vancouver girl, I’m also a freelance writer with a bent for good food and wine and EthnicEats.ca is a chronicle of my eating and drinking (and sometimes cooking) adventures in Vancouver. Here I try to review the best, cheapest or most interesting regional eateries in Vancouver and share that information with you. See www.deganbeley.com for more information on writing.
If you’re looking for a lunch date or have a great restaurant recommendation, I may just be your girl.

Was good to meet you briefly at Tiki night. I blog about food at http://foodlikethat.com. I used to use 43 Places to mark down restaurants I’ve been too. Now there is a new app from ActiveState that lives in Facebook that’s kind of interesting: http://apps.facebook.com/eat-a-rama/
P.S. are you going to buy a domain for this site? Would be good to have one…

Thank you for this blog.
I will come back to see what it becomes….

Nicely put together. I too eat my way around this city and focus on the service aspect.
We should talk…

Degan,
You *are* famous. Even Andrew Morrison dropped you a comment! (he’s never commented on mine – probably because we disagree on so many restaurants! hehehe)
I have read your reviews before and I think you’ve read some of mine. We totally should talk.

You have style … welcome back to blogdom – I look forward to more passionate reviews.

This is now my go-to blog when I’m trying to figure out where to eat. My blog is mostly about food, but I never know where to go.
Good stuff!

DAMN! I wish I lived in Vancouver! I was there once back in the dark ages (late 60s) but I was too young to know better. Denver has some good spots but nothing like what Vancouver has… guess I need to get myself on the road.
When I want to dream, I’ll come over to your blog and swim….

Finally! I’ve been thinking about where to find a list of authentic ethnic foods in and around Vancouver – great blog!
That said – I’m still searching for some good Moroccan in the city and without having to shell out a week’s savings to hit La Marrakesh or Sanafir downtown. If you know of any throw me a bone!

Thanks Liane! I’m sorry to say that I don’t know of any inexpensive Moroccan joints, but I’ll keep my eye out for you. There used to be the Kasbah Cafe (affiliated with Le Marrakech) but it’s sadly not around anymore.
Cheers~

Hi Degan – cleaning out the wallet and come across your card. Fabulous site! It was great meeting a group of like minded foodies.
Have you had a chance to try out Toratatsu yet? I had high expectations and was a bit dissapointed but will give it another shot just for the drink specials. Seems like Izakayas are popping up all over…
Cheers,
Tom (Aly’s friend)

Enjoyed reading your very well written blog. You certainly have captured the Vancouver vibe. I’ve created a link to your blog from mine – the Toronto Ethnic Eats Challenge.
Cheers & Bon Appetit,

I loves me some Degan. Helluva a girl, helluva cook, and helluva writer.

Degan, just wanted to pass along my compliments on your blog. It is one of the few local blogs I follow regularly and have visited many of your recommended restaurants in the lower mainland. Keep up the great foody stuff!
