Rank 896. West
Wine Bar
Ten stools, two bartenders, and a wine wall that takes itself seriously without making you feel like you should too. West is a wine bar on Granville that embodies what Vancouver does well: high-touch without the starch. The bartenders have been here long enough to know what you want before you do, and afternoons are unhurried, though weekend evenings pack the room two deep with the pre-dinner crowd treating it as a destination in itself.

Rank 903. Crab Hot Lau (Kingsway)
Northern Vietnamese
The rice field crab hot pot arrives with a broth so layered it borders on suspicious, built from noodles imported from the chef's hometown in northern Vietnam. This is a bustling, no-frills Vietnamese restaurant on Kingsway where the room runs loud and the food runs bold. Vancouver Magazine gave it the gold for Best Vietnamese, and the kitchen has since expanded to two more locations without the original losing any of its momentum.

Italian
The rigatoni boscaiola has a following serious enough that regulars debate whether to bother with the specials. They should bother with the specials. This casual Italian spot on Denman runs multiple locations around Vancouver, each with its own daily menu alongside the pasta and pizza standards, which is a harder trick to pull off than it sounds. Vancouver Magazine has given it gold for Best Chain three years running.

Rank 909. Zoomak
Modern Korean
Zoomak calls itself a modern Korean tavern, which undersells the kitchen by a comfortable margin. The housemade kimchi alone earns its keep, showing up alongside crispy pork bossam and turning up again warm over steamed tofu. Korean fried chicken and pork belly fill out a menu where picking a favorite feels like a trap. The room is loose and friendly, the prices keep pace with the vibe, and nobody's making you feel bad for ordering another round.

Coffee
A takeout window tucked into a North End grocery store, Espresso 46 is easy to miss and hard to forget. The owner moved from Italy with a mission: proper espresso culture, full stop, no filter coffee in sight. The house roastery supplies everything on the menu, and in summer the parking lot becomes a patio where locals caffeinate after their grocery run, which is convenient given the shared lease.

Java Blend has been roasting its own beans in Halifax's North End forever, and the cafe wears that history without making a fuss about it. The menu runs from single-origin drip to flat whites, in sizes from a sensible 8oz all the way to a 20oz option that suggests a very long commute. Somehow it manages to feel equally at home to the pour-over crowd and everyone who just wants a large coffee, which is harder to pull off than it sounds.

Coffee
The coffee here comes from Espresso 46, roasted a few miles away, which sets the tone for a cafe that keeps things local and unfussy. Ramblers is a full-service neighborhood cafe in downtown Halifax where the chess-and-latte crowd mixes with the croque monsieur lunch people without anyone seeming to mind. It started as a pop-up inside a cider bar and outlasted its landlord, which says something about the following it built.

Rank 927. Steve-O-Reno's
Coffee
From the cafe steps you can see the Atlantic Ocean, which feels about right for a place that's been around forever and has no intention of changing. Steve-O-Reno's is an artsy, cozy coffee shop on the edge of downtown Halifax, pulling cappuccinos and macchiatos from Nova Scotia beans alongside a brunch menu that runs to fish chowder and Montreal bagels with lox. No anaerobic pour-overs, no rotating roasters. Just a formula that's held since the Clinton years.

Rank 944. Chancho
Mexican
The hand-chopped-to-order carnitas are what people talk about, and the tortillas are made in-house, which matters more than it sounds. Chancho is a taco spot on Commercial Drive, bright and informal, with the kind of line that tells you everything before you've read a menu. The Vancouver Magazine judges called the carnitas near perfect two years running, which is a bold thing to say about a taco joint, but the room full of regulars suggests nobody is arguing.

Rank 973. Clough Club
Cocktail Bar
The curvy white marble bar anchors one corner of a room that looks like it's been pleasantly roughed up by a century of good times, tiled floor and all. Clough Club is a cocktail bar with genuinely progressive drinks, which sets it apart from the group's other spots. Upholstered benches and club chairs line the walls, a tall marble table invites standing rounds in the middle, and the whole thing reads less like a design statement than a place people actually like drinking in.

A garage-door window folds open along Queen West when the weather cooperates, turning this narrow cocktail bar into something between a room and a street corner. Grey-and-green walls, yellow chairs, and a small raised library nook with a sofa and an aquarium give it the feel of a well-curated living room. The bar industry tends to hold its parties here, which tells you something about the drinks program without requiring further argument.

Why #983, between #982 and #984

- #982 The Chase 58.38
- #983 Black+Blue (this place) 58.29
- #984 Model Milk 58.27
-
The old Model Milk Dairy building on 17th gives this lively restaurant its name and its bones, with an open, industrial feel softened by a genuinely buzzy room. The menu changes every couple of weeks, pulling from local and regional producers, so there's no such thing as a regular order. Desserts lean into the building's dairy past with ice cream making an appearance. The wine and cocktail list is well considered.

Rank 985. La Banane
French
Leather banquettes, brass fixtures, and a room full of people who clearly planned their outfit around the reservation: La Banane is a French bistro on Ossington that leans into the romance of it all without apology. The kitchen plays with classic French forms, pairing one of the city's more ambitious raw bars with a cooking style that wanders toward yuzu and other detours. The banana cake with salted caramel ice cream has its own cult following.

Rank 992. Aloha Modern Kitchen
Hawaiian
Surf photography covers the walls and the blue décor commits hard to the bit at this Hawaiian comfort food spot on Macleod Trail. The menu leans into plate lunches, poke, Spam musubi, and huli huli chicken, with tropical cocktails that come alcohol-free if you'd rather. It's the kind of casual, shareable-plates place where the servers know the menu cold and nobody's in a hurry to rush you out.
