Recommendations for people visiting the Mozilla office in Vancouver.
Airport Transportation
The best way is to take the 'Canada Line' train from the airport.
Hotels
We've had the best luck with the St. Regis Hotel which is near the office and the Canada line station, and bookable via egencia:
- Hotel Website: http://www.stregishotel.com/
- Directions from the Airport
- Walking directions from the hotel to office
Food
Vegetarian-friendly Options
- Nicli Antica Pizza
- Verace Pizza
- Incendio Pizza
- Deacon's Corner (diner)
- Sitar (indian)
- Acme (diner)
- Nuba (lebanese)
- La taqueria (tacos, duh)
- Golden Garden (vietnamese)
- Salad Loop (one under harbour centre, one in central library)
- MoMo Sushi
- Finch's (sandwiches, slow but very good)
- Gorilla Food (raw vegan)
- International Village food court (by stadium)
- Harbour centre food court
Non-Vegetarian Options
- Chambar (belgian, dinner)
- Cafe Medina (brunch, lunch, waffles, pseudo-european-fusion)
- Meat & Bread (lunch; excellent "sandwiches")
- Acme Cafe (lunch; diner)
- Guu Izakaya in Gastown (water st. location)
- Pour House (excellent burger among others, not cheap)
- Revel Room (decent burger)
- Irish Heather
- Salt (cold cuts, cheeses, wine)
- Jules Bistro
- L'abbatoir (cutting edge, v. good, not cheap)
Not close to the office
- Sushi: Hitae Sushi on 4th in Kits for traditional; The Eatery for a weird hip scene. There are lots of other good choices.
- Italian: La Buca; La Quercia; Campagnolo; Quattro
- Pizza: Verace; Bibo
- Indian: Vij's (fancy fusion); Rangoli (related, less fancy)
- Thai: Krua Thai in North Vancouver
- Japanese: the other Guu restaurants; Gyoza King; Kintaro Ramen on Denman; Motomachi Shokudo Ramen
- French: Regalade; Au petit Chavignol; Aux faux bourgeois; Salade de fruits
Chinese: I'm not competent in that domain, but there are apparently world-class options here. Ask Roland Tanglao.
- Refuel's sous-vide fried chicken is quite tasty. Meat & Bread for a yummy sandwich; Harvest Deli on Broadway for classic sandwiches; Salt is a charcuterie/cheese/wine destination; Judas Goat is a fancy $$ tapas run by the same folks;
- Templeton (check out the Portobello "burger", and the $5-shake); Deacon's corner for a corned beef hash;
Lots of street food vendors!
Drinks
- Alibi Room - lots of local beers on tap & decent food
- L'abbatoir - fancy cocktails
- The Diamond - Fancy cocktails and fun Asian fusion food but closed on Mondays!

- Irish Heather - Guiness! and decent pub grub!
