Month: January 2026

Burnaby is about to get a new spot for colourful, fresh dumplings: Baohaus is moving into the old Xing Fu Tang location at 6271 Kingsway. While the restaurant is still under renovation and the windows are covered up, the Google Business profile gives us an exciting sneak peek of what’s to come.

Images on their profile show a variety of vibrant dumplings, each made with clean, high-quality ingredients including meats, seafood, and vegetables. Window decals hint that Baohaus will prioritize healthy and fresh ingredients, and their menu will also feature non-dumpling items like chicken wings and a chicken salad.

The restaurant doesn’t yet have a social media presence, but we’ll be covering Baohaus in full detail as soon as more information is released. Follow our instagram for the latest updates. If colourful, made-from-scratch dumplings sound like your kind of thing, this is one to watch.

Baohaus is also one of several new food spots we’ve got our eye on, alongside The Food Court (Open Now!), and Pho Capital, both opening soon in Vancouver.

Street Food City is back in downtown Vancouver for 2026, and we finally made it out to see what this winter street food festival actually looks like in person.

Held in front of the Vancouver Art Gallery, Street Food City is Vancouver’s original street food festival, bringing a curated lineup of local food trucks together in one central, walkable spot. It’s free to enter, easy to browse, and perfect if you want to sample a few different cuisines without committing to just one restaurant.

Luckily for us, Vancouver weather actually cooperated this year. No sideways rain, no freezing wind — just surprisingly decent winter weather that made wandering around with food in hand way more enjoyable.

What Street Food City 2026 Was Like

This year’s setup felt simple but well thought out. There were:

• 11 food trucks in total
• A mix of standing tables and seated tables
• A DJ playing music throughout the day
• A steady crowd without it feeling overwhelmingly packed

It had that casual, pop-up food festival energy — busy, but not chaotic. You could grab food, find a spot to stand or sit, and actually enjoy what you ordered without rushing.

If this event sounds familiar, that’s because we previously covered Street Food City, sharing what to expect, the concept behind the event, and why it was shaping up to be one of Vancouver’s must-visit food festivals.

The Mad Greek Food Truck

One of the first trucks that caught our attention was The Mad Greek, mostly because of the long line. Whenever a food truck consistently has people lining up, it’s usually for a reason.

We asked what their most popular item was, and without hesitation they told us the gyro pita wrap ($16).

The wrap itself was massive — generously filled to the point where ingredients were literally spilling out. The pita was chewy and sturdy enough to hold everything together, and the fries inside tasted like Cavendish-style fries (the same kind Costco uses), which personally, we’re always happy to see.

Beyond the gyro wrap, The Mad Greek also offers:

• Chicken platters and souvlaki platters
• Options to add extra protein for an additional cost
• Appetizers like Greek fries and Greek salad
• A kids meal option

If you’re looking for something filling and shareable, this truck definitely delivers on portion size.

Il Saltimbocca — Wood-Fired Sandwiches From a Truck

Il Saltimbocca was the truck that genuinely surprised us. Mainly because… there’s a wood-fired oven inside the truck. We didn’t even know that was possible.

We were recommended the Sergio Tacchino sandwich ($14.50), made with fresh mozzarella, roasted turkey, tomato, arugula, and basil mayo.

The bun stood out immediately — chewy, almost like a flatbread — and the wood-fired oven gave the sandwich a subtle smokiness that you don’t usually get from food trucks. It felt thoughtfully made and a bit underrated compared to some of the longer-line trucks nearby.

If you’re into Italian flavours and warm, comforting sandwiches, this one’s worth checking out.

Other Trucks That Caught Our Eye

Even though we only tried two spots this time, a few other vendors definitely stood out:

Shameless Buns was serving:

• Abodo Fries ($16.75)
• The Little Sausage burger ($11.25)

Slavic Rolls was offering soft serve ice cream — and while it was a little cold for that when we visited, on a slightly warmer day this would’ve been very tempting.

Kampong, serving authentic Malaysian cuisine, easily had the longest line of the entire festival. We didn’t manage to try it this year, but it’s already at the top of our list for next time.

Seating Tip

If you’re struggling to find a table during peak hours, try heading to the other side of the Vancouver Art Gallery. There are stairs where people were sitting with their food, and it actually gets more sunlight on that side — which is a nice bonus during Vancouver’s colder winter days.

Final Thoughts

Street Food City 2026 felt like a solid winter food event — not overly flashy, but well-organized, approachable, and genuinely fun to walk through. Having multiple cuisines in one spot makes it great for groups, especially when everyone wants something different.

We’ll definitely be back next year to try the trucks we missed. And if you’re into local food events, food trucks, and casual eats around Vancouver, this is one worth putting on your calendar.

At a time when many Canadians are feeling the pressure of rising living costs, McDonald’s Canada has announced a rare move: a one-year price lock on two of its most popular items. Effective immediately, the fast-food giant is committing to keeping McValue Meals at $5 and small McCafé coffee at $1 for an entire year.

This marks the first time in more than a decade that McDonald’s Canada has publicly committed to a price promise of this scale, signalling a renewed focus on value and affordability in 2026.

Why McDonald’s Is Locking in Prices

According to McDonald’s Canada, the decision comes as cost-of-living concerns continue to dominate household conversations. In fact, three in five Canadians say the cost of living is their top concern heading into 2026, making predictable and affordable food options more important than ever.

Unlike limited-time promotions or app-exclusive deals, this price lock applies every day of the year, with no minimum purchase required. McDonald’s describes the McValue promise as unmatched in the Canadian market — offering consistency rather than short-term discounts.

$5 McValue Meals, Now Available All Day

McValue Meals have long been a go-to for budget-conscious diners, and we actually stopped by McDonald’s ourselves to see how this new price lock feels in real life. For $5 in 2026, it’s honestly hard to complain — getting a full meal without needing an app, coupon, or limited-time deal already feels like a win.

That said, we’ll keep it real. The Junior Chicken doesn’t quite feel like it used to. The portion looked a bit smaller than we remember, and the sandwich itself came out looking kind of squished. It’s not bad by any means, but longtime McDonald’s fans will probably notice the change. Still, at this price point, the value is clearly what McDonald’s is leaning into, and for a quick, no-frills meal, it does the job.

McValue Meals are available all day at participating locations across Canada, with the same items and portion sizes offered nationwide. For the first time, breakfast McValue Meals are also included at the $5 price point and are available daily until 11 a.m.

If you’re into Vancouver food deals and local food news like this, we cover a lot more over on our blog.

Here are the options available to you:

Breakfast McValue Meals ($5, until 11 a.m.)

• Sausage McMuffin McValue Meal
• Sausage McGriddles McValue Meal
• Breakfast Burrito McValue Meal
• Bagel with Cream Cheese McValue Meal
  Each served with a hash brown and a small McCafé coffee.

Lunch & Dinner McValue Meals ($5)

• McDouble McValue Meal
• Junior Chicken McValue Meal
• Chicken Snack Wrap McValue Meal
  Each served with small fries and a small fountain drink.

$1 Small McCafé Coffee, All Year Long

The $1 small McCafé coffee might actually be the quiet MVP here. One of our coworkers at BiteBuddy grabs a coffee on the way to work almost every day, and having a reliable $1 option adds up in a good way over time.

McDonald’s Canada first introduced the $1 small McCafé coffee back in July 2024, even as coffee prices continued to rise. At the same time, prices on larger coffee sizes were reduced by about 30 per cent on average.

Now, McDonald’s is committing to keeping that small coffee at $1 for the entire year, with no minimum purchase required — which makes it an easy daily habit for anyone who just needs a simple caffeine fix.

What to Know Before You Go

• Prices are before tax
• Offers are not available through delivery platforms
• Product availability may vary by restaurant

Final Thoughts

McDonald’s Canada’s one-year price lock stands out at a time when fast-food prices continue to creep upward. While the experience isn’t perfect, the commitment to $5 meals and $1 coffee offers something increasingly rare: consistency.

For everyday diners looking for a reliable, budget-friendly option — especially during busy workdays or early mornings — this move makes McDonald’s an easy choice in 2026.

Richmond may soon be getting something it doesn’t see very often: a 24-hour dine-in food hall called The Food Court. While details are still limited, signage and early interior glimpses suggest a new multi-cuisine dining space is preparing to open its doors — and it could become one of the few late-night (and all-night) food destinations in the city.

Based on what we’ve observed so far, here’s everything we know about this upcoming Richmond food hall.

What’s Opening: The Food Court, a Multi-Cuisine Food Hall

Soft Opening Clues and Hours

While not officially confirmed, this strongly hints that the restaurant may be preparing to open soon in a limited capacity before transitioning to its advertised 24-hour operation. Soft openings like this are often used to test operations, staffing, and menu flow before a full launch.

If the plan does move forward as expected, this would make the food hall one of the few true 24-hour dine-in options in Richmond, a city where late-night dining choices are still relatively limited.

Inside the Space: Food Court–Style Dining

A look inside the restaurant reveals a layout inspired by modern food halls and large-format dining spaces:

• A central food court–style dining area
• Long communal tables alongside smaller modular tables that can be combined or separated
• An open kitchen, allowing guests to see food being prepared

Dim sum steamers have already been spotted inside, suggesting at least part of the menu will be freshly prepared rather than fully pre-cooked.

Another notable feature is the presence of guest-accessible refrigerators in the dining area. Based on similar concepts, we expect guests will be able to grab cold items themselves and bring everything to the counter to pay in one transaction.

A Familiar Concept for Richmond Diners

The overall setup feels similar to the T&T dining hall model, where diners can mix and match cuisines from a shared kitchen — some items prepared in advance, others cooked to order.

Adding to the food-hall feel, the space even includes IKEA-style shopping carts for trays, making it easier for groups or hungry diners to collect multiple dishes at once. This practical touch suggests the venue is designed for high volume, flexibility, and group dining.

Why This Matters for Richmond’s Food Scene

Richmond is no stranger to great food, but 24-hour dine-in spots are rare, especially ones offering a variety of cuisines under one roof. If this concept succeeds, it could fill a gap for:

• Late-night diners
• Shift workers
• After-hours gatherings
• Early-morning meals

Whether the 24-hour model proves sustainable remains to be seen, but it’s an exciting concept — and one that could influence future dining formats in the city.

Final Thoughts

While we’re still waiting on official announcements from The Food Court, all signs point to a soft opening happening soon, followed by a potential transition to full 24-hour service. We’ll be stopping by once doors open to see how the concept works in practice and whether it lives up to the promise.

The History of Dine Out Vancouver

Dine Out Vancouver began back in 2002 with a simple but powerful idea. A group of food and wine enthusiasts teamed up with Destination Vancouver to create fixed-price menus that would encourage diners to support local restaurants during what was traditionally a slower time of year.

That first year, 57 restaurants signed on. From those humble beginnings, the festival has grown into a multi-week celebration that now brings together hundreds of chefs, nearly 400+ restaurants, wineries, craft breweries, and local suppliers under one promotional umbrella.

Today, Dine Out Vancouver Festival is about more than just dining deals. It’s a celebration of community, collaboration, and storytelling, showcasing Vancouver’s culinary talent to both locals and the world.

If winter in Vancouver had an official comfort drink, it would be hot chocolate — and the Vancouver Hot Chocolate Festival is back once again to prove it.

Running from January 17 to February 14, 2026, the festival returns for its 16th season, bringing together 100 vendors, 234 unique hot chocolate flavours, and 168 locations across British Columbia. It’s the largest edition yet, and a much‑needed excuse to embrace the damp, grey days of West Coast winter.

What Is the Vancouver Hot Chocolate Festival?

When it first launched in 2010, the Vancouver Hot Chocolate Festival was the world’s first city‑wide hot chocolate festival of its kind. What started as a local initiative has grown into a province‑wide celebration of chocolate, craftsmanship, and creativity.

Each year, chocolatiers, cafés, bakeries, pastry shops, gelato makers, and ice cream artisans from more than 20 regions across British Columbia create festival‑exclusive hot chocolate flavours — many of which you won’t find on menus once the festival ends.

Their motto still rings true: “Chocolate Makes You Happy.”

• 🎉 Season: 16th year
• ☕ Vendors: 100
• 🍫 Flavours: 234

After months of Coming Soon boards around Lansdowne Centre, Cotti Coffee has officially opened its doors in Richmond — marking its second British Columbia location following a recent launch in Burnaby’s City of Lougheed Shopping Centre. It’s a big moment for coffee lovers, especially those eager to try a brand that’s been generating major buzz around the world.

A Quick Intro to Cotti Coffee

Cotti Coffee is a rapidly expanding Chinese coffeehouse chain that has grown from a new concept in 2022 into one of the largest coffee brands globally. Founded by former executives of Chinese coffee giant Luckin Coffee, Cotti has expanded into hundreds of cities across dozens of countries with thousands of outlets worldwide.

The brand has become especially known for offering quality drinks at extremely accessible prices — in China, many beverages sell for around 9.9 RMB (about $2 CAD) or less, making it a popular everyday choice among locals in a competitive coffee market. Cotti’s menu includes classic coffees like Americanos and lattes, as well as inventive creations such as coconut lattes, oat blends, fruit-inspired drinks, and more, all brewed using 100% Arabica beans.

What’s Happening in Vancouver

App-Exclusive Deals (Limited Time)

For a limited time, downloading the Cotti Coffee AM app unlocks a bundle of coupons, including a one-time use coupon for any drink at just $0.99 — but you must redeem it within one month of claiming the coupon. Alongside this offer, the app also includes four additional coupons that give you 30% off your purchase. Outside of this promotion, most drinks are still very reasonably priced, with many drink items around $5.99 at Canadian locations (pricing may vary slightly by store).

This deal mirrors how the brand has grown in markets like China, where mobile ordering and app rewards play a central role in customer loyalty and affordability.

We’ll be testing this deal ourselves — check out our breakdown and drink picks on Instagram (coming soon!).

Why It Matters

Cotti’s arrival signals the continued diversification of Vancouver’s coffee scene — offering something distinct from the usual chains and local cafés. For fans of affordable specialty coffee, asian-inspired drink innovation, or global coffee culture, this new Lansdowne location is well worth a visit.
