How the Michelin Star Guide got it so wrong in Vancouver!

- Vancouver is an amazing place with great places to visit and even better places to eat! Really love this city; born and raised here and hope you get a chance to visit. It was a nice surprise when the Michelin Star Guide decided to cover Vancouver, but I think the folks there got a few places wrong... Luckily and in my opinion, they were errors of exclusion rather than errors of inclusion.
I hope to correct these wrongs and the best way I know how, is to do it in person and with some friends! Really grateful that you can join as we explore some of Vancouver's finest places from the delicious seafoods to the warm and comforting Vietnamese Bone Marrow Pho, which I think is the best I've ever had.
Join me as we explore Vancouver Best Happy Hour spot at the @fannybayoystersoysterbar2472 with oysters and wine and caviar... then we can enjoy a a warm and comforting bowl of Pho along with a massive fragrant Chicken Rice; a Vietnamese speciality from the great folks at Linh Cafe

It’s really nice to see that you’re pointing out exclusions versus criticizing the inclusions. Nice to have a positive spin on our Michelin guide. I hope that they will recognize a lot more really awesome restaurants we have!
Thank you so much... I just couldn't help but poke fun at the Michelin folks.
Went to Fanny Bay Oyster Bar for happy hour, last Wednesday. I had the mussels & clams, with West Coast IPA. The flavors were excellent and I really enjoyed that afternoon. Thanks for the tip.
Thank you for recommending this place. The Pho is very good but the beef brisket is very fatty. Enjoyed the escargot and the patey banh mi. Beautiful restaurant and the service was excellent.
Tim I am salivating! Is what you called parfait really pate? It looked like a liver pate and so delicious! I will someday get to Vancouver by way of Chicago and all restaurants in between!😂🎉
Oh my goodness,both of these restaurants are remarkable 🥰🤤🤤!
Love this video. So much love at your table..you are so gracious to everyone. Thank you for being so kind..you are the Michelin star shining so bright Tim
WOW Tim Lee, almost 100,000 subs now. Amazing! Congrats!
Wow, those places look amazing! Glad I didn’t miss this video. Will go to give them a try, especially the Vietnamese restaurant. 😁😋
What an absolute feast! Just WOW!
I have been watching your videos over the past 2-3 years and your video production has improved every year and is looking really professional nowadays. congrats on your success
With the exception of Michelin Bib Gourmand, in order to have an actual star with Michelin, it seems like it's not the food that matters but whether your portions are small and appealing to the eye and whether you use foam and at the same time have a good wine list.
😂😂😂
The point of Michelin isn’t necessarily restaurants that have great tasting food. The point of it is to see which restaurants are pushing the boundaries and evolving cuisine rather than sticking to tradition.
Hi Tim...Wow, can't believe you still had room left for dinner...I was full with just the oysters 🤣🙊...all the food looked wonderful...glad you enjoyed your dinner....safe travels and God Bless 😘🤗💘
New subscriber here from the Philippines Mr. Tim!👍😊🥰

It's kinda nice to explore in one's own city. Really enjoyed these places and great people as well 😃
Thanks for sharing Tim.
Thank you for the recommendation Tim ! Linh Cafe is definitely going on the list 😋 I'm glad you got some help 😆

Thank you so much. Linh is definitely a favorite 😋

Another delicious video Tim !!
Tim Lee. What a wonderful video. Thank u and keep them coming 👍🏽
Great great experience and great to enjoy a meal with some friends 😊
Hey Tim can you do an episode of your TOP 10 restaurant in Vancouver?
Tim another great 👍 video.
Wow! At last you are describing the food your eating, so that us foreigners can understand what you mean.
Thank you very very much Tim. This was very educational
Everything looked so delicious! The chicken liver dish made me nostalgic! My grandmother made a very similar chicken liver dish that I enjoyed eating with her as a child. Papaya salad, yummo! Turmeric rice, my fav! Ohhhh, and the fresh oysters & clams! Please keep enjoying and sharing your food adventures!
I saw you standing in downtown Toronto was I was in the Uber last weekend! LOL
That was probably me! I was in Toronto 🙂
I agree fully tim! They did miss a lot of other fine establishments. I do question some of their choices as well.
Enjoyed your video!
From Denmark
Saw her on the Anna show.
It's awesome that you get to show off some of the great restaurants in Vancouver. I've been there a few times and always had a great time 🦪🦞😋
Another well done eating journey!!!❤😊
Great video Tim! Would be cool to see you make a video in Calgary!
Tim, nice change from the usual buffets (but enjoy them too). These places look like an absolute must to try! Looking forward to visiting Vancouver and Canada soo!
Wow! That was a well rounnded Vietnamese feast. Everything look so delicious. Will definitely put it on our list to try. Everything taste that much better when accompanied by good friends. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Tim for another Delicious Video. The Oysters at the first restaurant all looked Super Delicious as did all the Vietnamese food at the second restaurant. Thanks and take care. 🌟
Hi Tim! Thanks for the great suggestions for amazing looking restaurants! We're heading to Vancouver soon, for 6 months, and we can't wait to try some of your recommendations. Cheers :)
Dont forget the Umbrellas . Weather sucks there . !
Don't forget to visit the downtown Eastside. It's the real Vancouver that isn't hidden behind luxury developments and the guise of wealth.
@@ivanronin8209 All year round? I’ve lived here all my life and inclement weather is NOT the norm!!!
OMGOSH Tim this food looked wonderful and delicious!! I want to come on a food crawl in Vancouver!!😂. Linh Cafe a first, great job sharing with friends. Once again I agree with you that this cafe was missed, on the guide. Maybe they will come and taste this amazing food. This truly was food for the soul. Warmly Cookie K 🎉
The food looks exceptional.
Looks good
nice food,I need go there one day
Been here once cause my BFF said it’s the best Pho in Vancouver. I tried the bone marrow Pho and I have to admit… honestly the best Pho I’ve ever tasted! Service was ok food was spectacular! I will definitely come back when I’m in Vancouver next time!
Will go there next time when I am in Vancouver. Omg lobster is an appetizer? Great video as always Tim!
Would definitely recommend and hope you can visit soon 🙂
I can't tell you how much I enjoy your videos Tim! You and your friends are a delight. My g/f and I are planning on doing the pacific NW next year and Vancouver is on the list of places to go. Definitely looking forward to trying both of the places you showcased here. Thank you!!
Go to Richmond
Thanks for the suggestion @@cdnsilverdaddy I'll check it out
I thought the Linh Cafe is a great stop! A lot of very interesting dishes!
It's a nice place with some unique dishes 😋
Omg! 😮❤ now I know where to go. 🙏
Hope you get a chance to visit... would highly recommend 🙂
Hi Tim wow the Vietnamese French cuisine looked fantastic, the great food has top quality. Nothing better than spending time with friends and great food, the oysters looked good, but oysters are unfortunately one food I can not stand, those as well as mussels 😳🙈 haha.
I also thought Michelin got it wrong and would have been happy if your choices made it in. I also thought Straight and Marrow should have had a nod. And more Cantonese food, but it has to be right in the city, so maybe Chef's Choice or Sun Sui Wah as a place that has been doing good dim sum for ages.
Tim- I would like to see a series of videos on the best Chinese restaurants in Vancouver. The Tim Lee Star Guide.
I recommend BC bud as well.
Tim: Thanks for another top notch Van City vid. That chicken rice and pho looked amazing. I hope I can trouble you with a few questions as I am a big food nerd: 1) What is the condiment in the gravy boat seen at 17:43? Did it come with the chicken rice as a condiment specifically for it? Also, I noticed they brought out other gravy boats with condiments with the chicken rice - what were they if you recall? 2) Are their pho noodles fresh or dried if you recall? If fresh, do they make them in-house?
tim excellent review
Thank you again 🙏
Who can remember anything when that platter of raw shellfish is put in front of you?! 😂 I will have to try Linh Cafe the next time I'm in Vancouver. What a gem! Another great video, Tim!
Don't forget to visit the downtown Eastside! A glimpse of what living in Vancouver is really like, everything else is an illusion to create false perception.
The Best Yet 🎉
How can you eat dinner right after you had all that food at the oyster bar???
It would be an honour to dine with you Tim!
Love it tim I was in icu couldn't breathe
Hi Malisa! I'm very sorry to hear and hope you're recovering well! Please take care and rest! Thoughts are with you and yours 😌
@@TimLeeLetsGo thank you
Another great video!
Great review as always, Tim. You should rename your channel "Tim Can't Wait"
Yeah, I know...the phrases get a bit condensed from the editing 😃
@@TimLeeLetsGo it's all good. It's your catchphrase. It should be front and center.
You're right Michelin missed so many placed. What about Le Crocodile. What about Gotham
Michelin star Vietnamese food…wow. Love Vietnamese food.
They're expected to add more. I think that's just a first round because there are so many restaurants to try and they don't try candidates just once.
Now only if I had friends in vancouver to go to restaurants with.
Was the oyster platter a one off for you or was that a menu item?
How much was that platter do you remember?
Those platters are pretty much common. The oysters are basically $2 each. The more you order the bigger the platter you get 😉. I over ordered during this visit and it turned out to be one of the more pricier happy hours I've had
Vancouver!
pateeeeeee yummy
Yummy
😋
Hi Tim, being a born and raised Vancouverite, I’ve heard of both restaurants but haven’t had the opportunity to try either. Now that you’ve brought them to my attention, they are definitely a must try now. The food at both locations looked delicious but Linh Cafe really spoke to my senses and stomach lol. Tim, is it possible for you in future videos to let your viewers know which wine you are enjoying with your meal? I always like to try different wines and I trust your palate. Take care 😊🇨🇦
Tim I haven't watch you video's in a while am trying to catch up thanks
Thank you so much James 🙂
How much was the total bill? Plus gratuity.
The only thing I don't have is enough money 😂
To be honest this one made me a bit jealous
let there be no doubt in all likelihood the restaurant owner forgot to bribe the Michelin assessor / grader roast duck roast pig etc.
This isn't China where bribery is the only way to get ahead
red apple polish buffe i cant see you have visit that one yet ? :)
Thank you so much for the great suggestion and looking forward to a visit soon 😋
If you are ever in Hot springs Arkansas come visit us at 501 Prime we would love to have you and hear your opinion!!
The Dinner all looked a little wet?
If I ever visit Vancouver, I'm heading straight to that Cafe!
Linh Cafe was OK. I live in Mac Donalds & W. 4th Ave. They started in that small area near the corner. That used to be a French cafe/restaurant. I forgot the name of the original French cafe. That one was fantastic. The father had the original cafe in West Vancouver and helped the son to establish the one in Kits. Unfortunately, that French cafe closed because the son can't find a steady staff to work. Then Linh cafe took over and bought the business. The chef initially copied the original menu but unsuccessful. He was good but I wouldn't say extra-ordinary. They started to have many following hence they moved to a bigger place. Again, the Michelin Star category is also innovation and among others. I actually started to go to some of the list from MS and I can say it's pretty accurate. Lunch Lady in Commercial Dr. was impressive. Also, to each his own and it's just my opinion and just sharing some back story how Linh Cafe started. I like to ask the chef/owner and connect the story behind the restaurant. I would like to come back to Linh Cafe in the future.
I have to agree with you. Michelin got it so wrong!
They did get some of them right.
Yeah, I like to poke fun at Michelin sometimes 😉
i believe a restaurants needs to be part of destination vancouver in order to be considered for review by michelin guide. I can't say 100%, but I'm pretty sure that's the case. Michelin gets paid by each city to review the city. Can't buy stars, but can pay Michelin to come to the city.
