Vancouver Downtown's Must-Try Restaurants – My Ultimate Foodie List!

📍 Hestia Kitchen + Bar Richmond: 4351 No. 3 Rd #160 Vancouver: 2209 W 1st Ave As someone who doesn’t even like mushrooms, their Foie Gras Rice Bowl ($28) blew my mind – silky liver, caramelized sweet potato, umami mushrooms = unexpected perfection. Signature Foie Gras Burger ($32) is next-level – 8oz beef patty + thick seared foie gras = worth every penny. 📍 Ramen Danbo Robson 1333 Robson St Vancouver’s best ramen (yes, I said it!). Tonkotsu broth is creamy, rich, and deeply porky – order "spicy level 2" for extra depth. Pro tip: Skip peak hours (1-2PM) unless you love lines. 📍 Jam Cafe 556 Beatty St Brunch royalty – Charlie Bowl (18) = bacon, eggs, hash browns in monster portions. Fried Chicken Benedict (22) = crispy buttermilk chicken + runny eggs = brunch heaven. Go before 10AM on weekends! 📍 Social Corner 891 Homer St Paella for two (48) = mussels, prawns, chorizo + saffron rice = seafood fiesta. Foie gras appetizer (26) is next on my list – tell me if it’s good! 💡 Why These Spots Rule ✔ Hestia: Luxury ingredients, reasonable prices ✔ Danbo: Authentic Kyushu-style ramen, customizable spice ✔ Jam: No-frills portions, hangover-curing power ✔ Social Corner: Shareable feasts, vibrant patio 💰 Damage: ~$25-50 per meal #VancouverEats #DTFoodie #BestBites
