ULC Top Restaurants-Pubs Out of Downtown



For those students who spend all their time wandering up and down Granville and Robson, it's time to get out of downtown and experience Vancouver. Here is a short list of great places to check out to really feel the diversity of this great city. The places are not in any order.

Anton's
Italian Food
This restaurant one of the most famous places for a plate of pasta. The prices are reasonable and if you eat your whole meal, IT'S FREE! Amazing! The only problem it's a little far from downtown, but it's worth the commute. Arrive early as there is a line up.

4260 Hastings St., Burnaby (east of Willingdon)

Jolly's Indian Bistro
Indian Food
This is the best Indian food in Vancouver. The restaurant has a homey, friendly atmosphere. The dishes are a reasonable size and the prices are descent for what you get. It's only open for dinner. Go early to avoid a line up.

Kings Head Pub
Beer and Pub food
The Kings Head is a place for cheap beer, nachos, and free live music. The Kings Head may seem a little on the dirty side, but it's the best place for a round of drinks and listening acoustic guitar cover songs. Music usually starts at 10pm and it can get crowded. This place also offers brunch on weekends.

1618 Yew Street( Near Starbucks at Kits Beach)
604-738-6966
