Las Margaritas
Kitsilano’s Las Margaritas is one of the oldest restaurants in the area.

Chili Tank Food Truck
The meaty aromas coming from a strange looking tank-like fixture at the Winter Farmers Market is what first attracted me to the Chili Tank, but vegetarians fear not, there’s a veggie version too.

Tractor – Everyday Healthy Foods
Today’s visit to the freshly opened Tractor at 1903 West 4th Avenue in Kitsilano provided a much needed break from the meat-centric day I had yesterday at Brewery and the Beast, a massive beer and meatfest.
