Foodists is a collective of like-minded food worshippers. We breathe and sleep in order to eat and drink. Have something to share with us? We'd love to hear from you. If it's something to eat or drink, even better.

I was a bit dubious when “Rime”, a Turkish restaurant on Commercial Drive, re-opened as a Japanese joint called, Lime. But it looked intriguing and I love Japanese food, so eventually got to check it out and…

Once, when I first moved back to Vancouver, I went on a date to the Sugar Refinery. A boy and I sat on a purple couch and talked about rap music while hipsters posed around us. Both the boy and the venue were unmemorable,…

This past weekend I went to Market Restaurant at the Shangri-La hotel. This was quite the highly anticipated dinner for me for a couple of reasons. One, I had to wait a whole month to get in at a prime time on a Saturday…

Takumi Japanese restaurant is a great little Japanese restaurant in West Vancouver. It’s in a bit of an isolated area near Thunderbird Marina on Marine Drive. It wasn’t very busy when we went but I think that it will…

It goes without saying that it will rain the day after you take your umbrella out of your purse and by the same token, I should have known that a trendy, tasty Italian restaurant would open up in the culinary dead-zone…

This is a post with two minds. On one hand, I enjoy seeking out and trying new restaurants and often use online searches to find reviews of new restaurants. And, being rather opinionated and verbose, I enjoy occasionally…
