I often have cravings for Vietnamese food and my go-to spot is always Van Son. The last time I visited, I tried their satay beef rice vermicelli which came with spring rolls.

If you’re looking for some tasty sliders, Nights & Weekends is a place you have to check out. They have three different sliders available: chicken thigh, maitake mushroom, and char siu.

Within a block from where we were staying, there was a Oui Presse: a neighbourhood coffee shop serving homemade baked goods and breakfast, with an array of magazines. We both ordered a coffee and the beans on toast. The chickpeas and …
