Euro Pastry House (#114 – 1058 Mainland Street, Vancouver, phone: 604-602-0003) is a great place to stop and have a sandwich in the downtown Yaletown shopping / restaurant district. But these are not your ordinary sandwiches. Imagine a breaded chicken schnitzel with cheese and ham, cozy with fresh vegetables between two gigantic slices of marble rye bread (pictured below, $7.69 including tax). I have to say it was one of the heartiest and most satisfying sandwiches I have had in a long time. This tiny restaurant is not to be missed!

My Sushi World Bento Express (1258 Robson Street, Vancouver, BC, phone: 604-681-1150) is a small take-out oriented sushi restaurant located on Robson Street across from the Shenanigans lounge/bar. Prices are very reasonable (everything is under $10, and a regular chicken teriyaki is $4.50). I really enjoyed my Seafood Don (a bowl of rice with assorted seafood on top, served with miso soup) which was $8.95 (pictured below). At this restaurant you place your order at the cashier before sitting down. Service was friendly and the music playing was a combination of 90’s hits and Japanese pop.

Another visit to Thai Away Home  (address: 1206 Davie Street, phone: 604-682-8424) and this time I enjoyed the Penang Curry with prawns (pictured below) which was served as a combination with soup, salad and rice for $9.95. At Thai Away Home you can order take out (which is what many people do), or order at the counter and then eat in the restaurant. This tiny restaurant has won awards in the local newspapers for Best Thai in the casual / take out category. (Click here to view another picture from this restaurant -Part 1).
