🍽 Where to get the best ramen in the Tri-Cities

Hey foodies!

The most clicked thing last week was my Torafuku recommendation in Vancouver, so I’m dropping another one.

It’s definitely no secret, but it’s one of my favourite spots in the Lower Mainland – Minami (in Yaletown) or Miku (in Coal Harbour). They’re both from the same restaurant group, and they’re both fantastic. From their aburi oshi sushi to their sashimi and daily special dishes. It’s not cheap, but it’s worth every penny.

Have you been to one of them?

LOCAL HERITAGE

This Port Moody cafe sits inside of a 100-year-old heritage site

What’s better than enjoying a steaming hot cup of coffee? Nothing; except, perhaps, drinking it in a gallery surrounded by a vibrant community of artists and art lovers.

Located in a 100-year-old heritage home in Port Moody, Grit Cafe is a space for local painters, sculptors, photographers, and mixed-media artists to showcase their work, as well as an occasional venue for live music performances, art shows, and pop-up markets in the community.
