Vancouver Underground Dining Scene

    What are some underground restaurants in Vancouver? Thanks!

    Chef Todd's Apartment 12B, No Fixed Address (NFA), Swallow Tail Supper Club, Vegan Secret Supper, Chef Alex Mok.

    They haven't been very secret for a few years now and I'm not sure if all of them are still operating. Chef Alex Mok opened up a bisto so I doubt he's still in the underground kitchen business (see Caché Bistro and Lounge).

    What's special about underground dining?

    When you say underground, do you mean

    a) a concept/style outside the mainstream or

    b) an area below street level?

    In either case,

    why? What would make either better than other restaurants? (Not judging you; just curious.)

    Just go to Chinatown & follow your nose. (My usual advice to everybody.)

    ^Thrill appeal and potentially (not always) it's less expensive for the quality of food that you get.

    AWESOME!!!!! thanks so much (Finally got a chance to come online, crazy holiday season) have you gone to any of these places before?? I am so tempted to try but kind of shy hehe :up:

    ^I haven't :p. Thought about it but it's still a pricey meal. I'm the kind of person that dislikes fine dining portions.

    FYI: Cache Bistro & Lounge has been featured on a couple of group buy sites lately (including Groupon).
