Moxie’s Classic Grill (web site, address: 180 West Georgia Street, Vancouver, BC, phone 604-684-8434) is a contemporary chain restaurant that serves Canadian style food. Moxie’s has a large and varied menu, ranging from affordable entrees such as burgers, sandwiches, and rice bowls, to more upscale and expensive choices such as the “Land Sea Grill” – a plate that includes a 4 oz steak, a skewer of prawns, and a fillet of salmon, as well as your choice of mashed potatoes, stuffed baked potato, or fries, and a seasonal vegetable, all for $22.99 (pictured below). In my experience, Moxie’s has served our large office groups quite well in the past, but during the busy lunch rush, it is best to make a reservation if you have a large group.

The Real Canadian Superstore is one of the most cost-effective places to shop for groceries in Vancouver. Prices are consistently lower than most other grocery stores, and there is a large selection of items. The Superstore at 3185 Grandview Highway is conveniently located close to the Rupert Skytrain station.

Shown below is my dinner, with ingredients bought from Superstore. It’s a quick meal of boiled/fried perogies with onions and a cheese sauce, served with boiled vegetables.

Mr. Greek Taverna (6450 120 Street, Surrey, BC (604) 592-0707) provides generous portions of tasty Greek food in a friendly atmosphere. The roast lamb special (pictured below) was about $13.50 before tax.
