Gastown is a neighbourhood of possibilities.
We have so many different places to find all sorts of culinary delights, you need never tire of what’s on our table. There are the classics; the perfect standard dishes that have us coming back for more and there are the wild and wonderful creations. The imaginings chefs dream of in the middle of the night, that find their way into the busy kitchens of Gastown.
Here are a few deliciously interesting appetizers. Try one or two, or go on an appy crawl with a group of friends.
