NMC 2004 - Best Restaurants close to UBC

Submitted by Roland on Wed, 06/16/2004 - 22:21

Welcome to Vancouver, New Media Consortium Summer Conference 2004 (NMC 2004) delegates which takes place from 16-19 June 2004 at UBC. And thanks to the fine folks at the NMC conference for linking to VanEats!

Here's a list of restaurants recommended to NMC 2004 delegates. This list is not exhaustive (we spend most our eating time in Gastown, Kitsilano and Downtown), not in any particular order and focuses only on restaurants near UBC. For downtown, Chinatown and Gastown, check out our Restaurant Recommendations for National Canadian Association of Journalist Conference Attendees. More recommendations at http://www.vaneats.com/reviews/restaurants/.

  1. Cafe Katzenjammer - good, inexpensive German food and beer!
  2. Pane e Formaggio - Not strictly a restaurant, but they serve great sandwiches and have great coffee. A wonderful place for chilling out, networking and a light meal.
  3. Provence Mediterranean Grill - excellent anti pasti and French inspired food! Not cheap but not too expensive.
  4. Wabi Sabi - We've never eaten there but our friends Stewart and Caterina love it! Japanese tapas and sushi.
  5. Burgoo - Again we've never eaten there but our friends Lisa and Susan recommend it. Comfort foods like soup and stew.

We ate at Wabi Sabi but I forgot to submit a review and it's been a while too long for me to provide an accurate review. However .... tapas are absolutely fantastic in terms of freshness, taste and creativity. With half a dozen tapas of small to medium size and couple of beers or sake will run you approx. $60. Would recommend it particularly for a larger group of people where you can order more variety. Burgoo is a fab place that is also adding tapa choices to their summer menu sheet. Food value for dollar is very high. I gave a mini-review of it a few months back. Bon apetit !

The mention of best restaurants near UBC made me remember back to the restaurant that was in the space currently occupied by Provence - it was called The Frog and the Peach, I think. That was a nice place.
