You can never go wrong with @minamiyaletown. This You can never go wrong with @minamiyaletown. This new bento from them is head turning and people stopping (seriously, 7 people asked me where I got it from). Their Sakura Box is the perfect picnic box with an exquisite selection of all of their signature dishes. It’s beautiful, it’s colourful and most importantly it is tasty! It’s only available until April 28 for take out only. #japanesefood #bentobox #vancouver #vancouverfood #yvreats #yvrfood #yaletown #sushi *m e d i a
🔖 BOOKMARK THIS FOR YOUR NEXT NIGHT OUT New fr 🔖 BOOKMARK THIS FOR YOUR NEXT NIGHT OUT New from @kitchentablerestaurants is the vibey, romantic and fun @cantinadiluigivan. They have a short but tight menu of appetizers and fresh pasta. I came by on a Thursday with a friend and it was super busy even at 530 pm! The appies were amazing (especially the anchovy and egg) and the pastas were very flavourful and perfectly cooked. The Tagliolini with seafood was a stand out and a must order dish. Cantina di Luigi is walk in only and it fills up so fast so aim to get here early. Definitely a must revisit spot for me and I can’t wait to be back. #italianfood #freshpasta #burrata #vancouverfood #yvreats #vancouverbc #yvr #chinatown #vancouverfoodie #hiddengem
