Metro News: Wicked fast service makes this a great lunch spot. Try the braised beef tongue, pulled pork cheek, albacore tuna or the outstanding chicken in mole sauce. Don't forget a bottle of tamarind fizz. Read more.

Steph Sia: Amazing! Must try the beef tongue and cheek, fried chicken wings, calamari yakiudon and miso caramel pudding.
Sairah: Have a Bramble and make sure Robyn makes it. The perfect cocktail if you're looking for something refreshing, a little bit sweet and a little bit sour.

Modern European Restaurant · Downtown Vancouver · 4 tips and reviews
Karl Kwong: Be adventurous and try something new! Rabbit, veal tongue, octopus and squid ink dishes all excellent.
Scott Rose: The tasting menu, at $75, is a good way to tour Chef Syme's best offerings. But you need to go into it hungry.
J: Appetizers and pastas were solid if just a little salty. But dessert and service really stood out! Pannacotta, tart, and financier all amazing. Service friendly and attentive without being too much.
Nina Nguyen: Great selection of beers on tap, with a wide variety of seasonal and local beers available. Great ambiance for catching up with frienda. Multiple convenient locations. Food isn't main attraction.
@gracecheung604: Corn Dogs! And the soup and half sandwich is big enough for two! Read more.
Megan Kennedy: Check out the combos, last time I was there the taco, salad and soup combo was good value.

Angel Clemente: Get the taco combo with 2 carnitas and 2 al pastor. Get a papa/chorizo quesadilla and/or sope. Their mojitos are also excellent. End with a tres leches cake. Delicioso!
Eater: In a swirling sea of hipster taco joints the Mexican is a reliable, affordable and downright delicious choice. Worth a visit for the chicharrón de queso alone. [Eater 38 Member]
Jack C: The prawn tempura tacos are a MUST (tacos camarón)

French Restaurant · Gastown · 77 tips and reviews
The Province: This sleek spot is raising Gastown's game. Try the confit of Albacore tuna with smoky pork morsels and velvety crab custard in "brioche" with chick pea toast and Mostaccioli pasta with mozzarella. Read more.
Sotheby's International Realty Canada: The bread alone is worth a visit. Bacon brioche, anchovy pastry twist and sesame crisp flatbread... homemade and complementary.
Rob: Try and get a seat in the atrium in back... it's lovely...
