Local food inspiration
Lucky for me I live in near Granville Island

• Vancouverites are fortunate to have such great
  culinary diversity as each neighborhood has its
  own unique food culture

5
Not only is Granville Island a great place to
stock up on supplies or grab a quick bite, but I
often lose a few hours there while enjoying the
local buskers
Turn up your speakers to get a taste of the action
6
This is what I tend to stock up on
7
But just down the street

• In Kits near West Second Ave and Pine are two of
  Vancouvers best food shops

8
Les Amis Du Fromage-Owned by the friendliest
and most knowledgeable cheese proprietors
imaginable Allison and Joe
If you love bread and cheese as much as I do you
will definitely want to head to

• Patisserie Lebeau-
• Home to the best Belgian waffles and soft
  baguette youll ever taste

9
I dont know when exactly my passion for food
started but I do know that it was intensified by
my experiences abroad
Italy is definitely my favorite foodie destination

Here is where I ate three of my most memorable
meals

• Vernazza, Italy
• Cozumel, Mexico
• New York, USA

1- Linguine alle Vongole

• Clam linguini
• An old world dish that employs minimal
  ingredients just clams, pasta, garlic, olive oil
  fresh herbs

2- Pesque los tacos

• Soft fish tacos
• Sun, cold beer and an amazing view
• Some of the best food experiences are
  spontaneous we found this one while scooting
  down the coast

Cozumel, Mexico

3 - Croque Monsieur

• A fancy grilled ham and cheese
• Steve and I sat on a patio at Tartine, a quaint
  french bistro, for hours sipping wine we brought
  ourselves
• Tucked away on this side street we slowly lost
  the afternoon

Chelsea, New York

If more of us valued food, cheer and song
above hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world
-JRR Tolkien

• Lets make sure to enjoy some good food and
  company while here at SLAIS!
