Japadogs, Raincouver Blues & Trump-Tariffed Booze: Eat Local or Cry
Since storming Vancouver from the U.K. over a decade ago, Nikki Bayley’s been gasping at jaw-dropping mountain views and demolishing sushi like it's air. The city’s as multicultural as your streaming queue—40% immigrant residents fueling a culinary circus with Cantonese, Indian, Filipino delights and mushrooming breweries, plus booze rescued from Trump’s tariff scythe. New treats in October 2025 include Cheez Whiz-topped hot dogs at Breeze Bar (because your artery health matters), an East Van dive bar named 'It's Okay' with 'killer' happy hours, Noah’s izakaya vibes, and family-run Pho in Love by English Bay for soul hugs. Bring waterproofs and appetite: Raincouver’s here to stay.
