Granville Street as a destination for food

I remember when I did my MBA, my fellow student colleagues and I used to come downtown to Granville Street to have fun (I will fully confess I did the Roxy, the Stone Temple, etc.) But truth be told, it wasn’t until I went for a walk with my good friend Chris Walts recently that I realized that there are a lot of places on Granville Street that are good for food (and by Granville Street I mean downtown, although there are some fantastic ones on South Granville, just past the Granville Bridge).

It occurred to me to do a quick round-up of where I can remember I have been for food/drinks recently on Granville Street. Do feel free to add your own favorites.

• Twisted Fork Bistro: My friend Rebecca Bollwitt took me here for brunch for my birthday. Really good
• Sanafir Lounge and Bistro: We came here for drinks to celebrate John Bollwitt’s and John Biehler’s birthdays. Very good too.
• Take 5 CafeThis is my and my good friend Lisa Thomas-Tench’s favorite coffee shop downtown.

Where else have you tried that is on the actual downtown portion of Granville Street? Do feel free to drop comments on this post.
