If you’re in Yaletown and are looking for a really, really big sandwich, hop over to the Euro Pastry House (#114 – 1058 Mainland Street, Vancouver, BC, phone: 604-602-0003) and order the Deluxe Schnitzel Sandwich (pictured below, around $8.50). They also offer some lighter selections.

Falafel House (902 Granville Street, Vancouver, BC, phone 604-806-0045) is a fast food restaurant that serves Lebanese cuisine. Choose from a chicken or beef donair, a chicken schwarma plate, a falafel plate, or a vegetarian plate (pictured below). The vegetarian plate comes with rice wrapped in grape leaves, a samosa, some falafel, humus and pita bread, as well as two kinds of salads. It is around $6.00 plus tax.

Falafel House is big enough to seat maybe around 10 to 15 people comfortably, but is also popular for take out. The restaurant is located near the many night clubs on the Granville Strip downtown, and is open late.

Update June 1st 2008: The Falafel House restaurant has changed to a pizza place, which is also open late.

Samurai Japanese Restaurant (1108 Davie Street, Vancouver, BC, phone 604-609-0078) is one of my favorite Japanese restaurants for fresh, high quality sushi creations and combinations at reasonable prices. Pictured below is the Chicken Teriyaki and sushi/sashimi combination that is also served with a bowl of rice, green salad, and tempura, all for $12.95.  View more photos: part 2, part 1
