My Jewish friend is in town visiting from New York and I am taking him out for dinner tonight and I would like to take him to a kosher restaurnat.

If anyone knows of a kosher restaurant in Vancouver or within the lower mainland please let me know.

Thanks!

I have no idea how the food is in any of these places. Also, call for hours.

Good luck.

Some updates on the kosher food available in Vancouver:

According to Kosher in Vancouver Sabra's has added Chinese food to the menu, with a Chinese chef. Anyone tried this out?

The Kosher in Vancouver blog has also posted the baking schedule for the Garden City Bakery at: baking schedule which lists items such as Caraway rye, European rye, Marble rye, New York rye, Pumpernickel rye, Kiddish challah, Water challah, Raisin square challah. Garden City Barkey is in the Garden City Mall on Blundell and Garden City Rd. Anyone tried their rye bread?!?!?!

And the Kosher Food Warehouse has started a website: http://www.kosherfoodwarehouse.com/ which has a list of both their year-round and Passover products.

Cheers!

No.. but I read an interesting review somewhere... maybe the Canadian Jewish News?

Sorry, that doesn't help :biggrin:

Well, it's not the Canadian Jewish News, but I did manage to Google a review here.

Dang. That was it.

Good paper too... especially when they print recipes from a certain kosher cookbook author :wink:

I have been, it is very close to my office. They mostly deal in frozen goods, ie they bake on premesis (sp? why does that look so wrong?) and then freeze for bulk sales. However you can also go and special order stuff.

I have only had bagels and a few sweets from them, they are okay but the bagels from Solly's IMO are a million times better.

'Cause you're spelling it like nemesis. I like.

Actually it premises.

And wouldn't Kaplan's Deli on Oak be kosher? (added so I remain on topic :rolleyes: )

Kaplan's isn't kosher. I can't remember where, but this was already asked and answered ... and then I asked the next time I was there for pastrami ... and they said no ... but it was still really good ... and consider I'm not Jewish, not at all a big deal. :huh:

Actually, that make sense. IIRC, Kaplan's serves things like Reubens, and meat and dairy combined is defintiely not kosher. However, I believe they sell some kosher products.

Kaplan's is definitely treif (non-Kosher). But they do have some Kosher pre-packaged products for sale for take-out (as does the Safeway not far from there).

There is a fairly comprehensive list of Kosher restaurants and outlets in the Vancouver area here: http://www.bckosher.org/vancouver.html

Cheers!

IIRC, Kaplan's also sells some kosher meat products, even if they serve them in a non-kosher combo with cheese. I remember a former boss who ordered chicken weekly from Kaplan's because it was kosher. Not sure about all the other meatstuffs. Is there a full kosher butchery in town? I think there's a halal (sp?) one . . ..

Omnitksy doesn't do actual butchering on-site. They do it all down at their Richmond facility which as far as I know is not open directly to the public. So if you need special cuts, etc. you have to call in advance to get it delivered to their retail shop.

Other options for kosher meat include Sabra and Kosher Food Warehouse.

Cheers!
