Well this is a bit last minute but as I have not been out for lunch in a while, I am having trouble coming up with somewhere in the Kits/West 4th area. I'm meeting a friend tomorrow so wanted to see if anyone had any favourites to recommend. Thx.

1. Bistro Pastis for a quiet chat and a neat turn on french

2. The Epicurean for casual Italian

3. The Smoking Dog for a crab crepe

Thanks Jamie.... I was thinking about Pastis as I've had some wonderful dinners there.... most likely a dandy place for lunch as well :smile:

If anyone has any other suggestions, I'd be happy to hear them as well as I'm sure there will be more than this occasion to be thinking about a good place for lunch. :biggrin:

Indian Oven upstairs on 4th @ Maple.

Gorgeous view and wonderful Eggplant Bhajia.

Maybe they'll open the patio if it's warm.

Another excellent lunch spot is Annapurna the Indian Vegetarian place on 4th @ Burrard.

Thanks Sam.... I've had dinner at Annapurna a long time ago (it was delish) but have never ventured into the Indian Oven. I think it used to be called Maples (or something like that) many moons ago and I remember having lunch there quite often when I worked two blocks away.

I was also thinking about sushi for lunch as there's that new place on 4th just up from Burrard, can't remember the name.

In the end, we did not go for lunch today after all but will file these suggestions away for another time.

What do you like about Hi Nippon? I've found it fair to middling on most occasions myself. Joe's I like for breakfast..... way above Sophie's...... mind you the lack of silly line-ups is defininately part of it.

Do you live in the 'hood?

Thanks Sam..... someone in the 'hood is going to have to check this place out and report back as a service to all :smile: hmmm ... maybe sushi after my run tonight.... though that doesn't quite sound right for some reason.
