When you think of Robson Street, we’re sure that you think of endless shopping! But, did you know that Robson Street is a go-to destination for Vancouver foodies? Robson Street is more commonly known in the food industry as the street to go to for Asian, European and mainstream cuisine. You won’t be able to walk down half a block without seeing at least two spots to dine and each place will be different.
Want thirst quenching cocktails? Thai dishes made to order as if grandma was in the kitchen or the largest selection of Pocky? We’ve got it all!
To get the inside scoop on the Foodies favourite spots, we went straight to the source! Viranlly Liemena or just @Viranlly on Instagram is widely known for his in-the-know dining spots. I mean, if Gwyneth Paltrow is following him then we think you should be too!

But reader beware… these dishes will make you think twice about all of your previous go-to spots.
