"Located in a scuzzy back alley in Gastown, Salt Tasting Room is an unlikely destination on Vancouver's culinary map. But this wine bar is a popular spot with local foodies, particularly chefs and kitchen crews."

"Salt is unique and a wonderful place to get a good, fairly inexpensive meal."

"This unusual eatery off historic Blood Alley is trendy even for Gastown, with a bare-bones constellation of menu items changed daily and displayed on a giant chalkboard."

"Keeping it elegantly simple, this kitchen-free concept does combinations of artisanal cheeses, superb cured meats and luscious condiments like mustards, chutneys and rosemary-marinated olives."

Choose three meats or three cheeses and three condiments, plus three wines from the extensive wine list or leave the pairings to Saltâs capable wine-aware staff.

"Bao Bei is a beacon of new life in the neon night of Vancouver's Chinatown, thanks to the inspired cuisine of owner Tannis Ling."
