Vancouver’s Delicious, Affordable & Instagram-Worthy Eats

Maxine’s ⭐ Rating: 3/5 💰 Price: $20 Our first brunch in Vancouver! Reservations are available, but we walked in at 11 AM without waiting. The food is photogenic—perfect for the ’gram. We ordered the Dutch Baby based on hype, but it was more "innovative" than classic brunch, and not worth a special trip. 🙂↔️ Rain or Shine ⭐ Rating: 5/5 💰 Price: $5 A must-visit ice cream spot near UBC—they let you sample two flavors! London Fog was the unanimous favorite. Even the smallest "baby size" is generous and melts slowly, so no messy hands. 🍨 Anh and Chi ⭐ Rating: 5/5 💰 Price: $40 Hands-down the best meal we had in Vancouver! This Michelin-recommended Vietnamese restaurant serves next-level pho—chewy noodles, rich broth with beef and pork trotters, and aromatic herbs. A soul-warming bowl! 🥂 Kumo ⭐ Rating: 3/5 💰 Price: $30 An AYCE sukiyaki joint in a quiet Richmond corner. We picked the budget tier (only 3 meat options), but the fatty beef was satisfying. Note: Arrive after they open, or you’ll be stuck waiting like we were. 🥱 Blue Fox Cafe ⭐ Rating: 4/5 💰 Price: $20 A Victoria gem serving brunch all day! The Fox’s Grill (classic brekky plates) is huge—one order feeds two. Go early to avoid lines! ☕️ Hua Ma Chun Tian (Flower Horse Spring) ⭐ Rating: 5/5 💰 Price: $20 Pure happiness in a bowl! This spot nails Yunnan rice noodles—get the spicy pork intestine version (we drank every drop of broth). The owner’s recommendations are gold. ❤️‍🔥 Da Wei Malatang ⭐ Rating: 3/5 💰 Price: $15 We ordered spicy dry pot to our hotel (but got no utensils 🥲). The flavor teleported us back to China—though dining in is better, if you can brave the queues. 🍚 Final Thoughts: Vancouver’s food scene is diverse and wallet-friendly, from high-end to hidden gems. Just skip sketchy buffets—AYCE isn’t always worth it. 😇 Can’t wait to eat my way through the city again! 🥰 #CherishEveryBite #VancouverEats #Canada #UBC #FoodieFinds
