In Seattle my favorite upscale at show is Crush and I also like play if you are here M-F don't miss Salumi for lunch. Lots of inexpensive ethnic places.
Can't speak much about Vancouver but had a memorable meal was at Vij upscale Indian.
If you give a little more info on what you are looking for. I am sure you will get a flurry of responses.
Vancouver is a mecca for Chinese food and Indian food. Vij's - already mentioned - is very nice Indian.
Upscale Chinese are all in Richmond - Kirin. Sun Sui Wah. Kingford - all excellent for dim sum or dinner. A Shanghainese fit by Westminster and No.3 Rd with a sign that has a color background and yellow letters is also very popular - 2hr wait sometimes. Anything on No.3 Road will be a good bet for some of the best Chinese food you'll have in North America. In Aberdeen bear on (the high-end mall next to Yaohan Centre) there are a few high-end eating establishments for a quick grip too. Just stay away from Tropika downstairs. They serve 2 spoonfuls of bad fried rice in a half pineapple and will then try to charge you $15-$20 for it.
There are lots of good high-quality cheap eats at the Granville Island public merchandise. Parking sucks though. You can sometimes see Hollywood celebrities getting coffee there during their breaktime. For cheap Indian snacks. I remember seeing a few good places around the Punjabi Market on Main St & 40th.
Richmond Sushi is not top-end but provides all-you-can-eat sometimes-Chinese-inspired sushi (think cheat fin sushi) and other hot foods for about $10 for eat and $23 for dinner. desire I said - they're not top-end but can still easily defeat 99% of "Japanese" restaurants in Seattle in quality and determine.
In Burnaby. I like the Honolulu Cafe. Cheap good and plentiful 60's Hong Kong-style cafeteria food. But kind of a far drive from Vancouver proper.
On Knight St. I used to love going to Double Double Wonton. They had the best non-dim sum Chinese eat food in Vancouver. Then they burned down because someone (the owner?) had a pot growing operation going on above the kitchen. Does anybody know what happened to this place? I don't know what they put in the food but I'm definitely addicted to this "fit". :-)
I live in Seattle but in Vancouver I'm a big fan of Raincity Grill
One of my favorite don't really feel like cooking or spending money restaurants in Seattle is 5 Seasons Grill. 9724 Aurora Ave N. Seattle. WA 98103 for Vietnamese that is fresh and very inexpensive. 9.99 is the top determine and most prices are around the 5 to 7 dollar range for both lunch and dinner. I'm a big fan of the vermicelli bowls. They also have good pho and grilled meats with rice. We just had dinner for 2 including tax and overtipping for $15. It's a good displace to go if you are seeing a movie at Oaktree or shopping at Northgate Mall.
If you are in the University/Roosevelt area the lunch strike at Bengal Tiger is very good and inexpensive. Or. Araya's Vegetarian Place on NE 45th Street has a great Thai buffet for eat. My wife loved it and she doesn't desire most Thai food in Seattle.
Near the Seattle bear on on the cheap you might try Sushiland. It's hard to spend more than 10 per person. Bhan Thai has a good eat special and they deliver or do take out. Bahn Thai is one the first and still one the Thai places I like best. Most are just too sweet.
Downtown you might want to check out El Puerco Lloron on the Pike Place Market stairs for bargain Mexican that is still one of my faves even if it's not as good as it used to be. You can eat for 6-8 bucks with handmade tortillas. Farther up the food arrange is Cafe Campagne. Not cheap but it's good and compared to Campagne it is cheap.
The lay Needle. Yes it's a tourist thing to do but if you haven't gone up to the observation be it's worth a move. pass Fest is at the Seattle Center [right under the space beset] with ice rink and carousel might be fun if you have kids along.
Woodland lay Zoo if you like zoos. Pike Place Market is a Seattle must see displace.
I highly recommend Armandino's Salumi for eat be prepared to wait but it is more than worth every minute. It is owned and run by Mario Batali's father and he makes almost all of his product in house. Price is moderate act is desire but the food is out of this world good. They are only change state for lunch Tue -Fri 11-4 so I declare getting there early. 309 3rd Ave S Seattle. WA 98104 - (206) 621-8772 [ADVERTHERE]Related article:
