Every summer, Vancouver plays host to Street Food City, a series of pop-up events showcasing some of the city’s best street food vendors. From Korean tacos and Japanese crepes to Middle Eastern falafel and Hawaiian shave ice, there’s something for everyone! Keep an eye on their website (streetfoodcity.com) to find out when the events will take place this year.

On sunny summer days, head to Kitsilano Beach and grab a bite from one of the food trucks that line up along Cornwall Avenue. You’ll find everything from gourmet grilled cheese sandwiches and Thai cuisine to vegan options and classic fish & chips.

Cartems Donuterie

While not strictly street food, this popular Vancouver donut shop started out as a food truck before opening its brick-and-mortar locations. Cartems offers unique, artfully crafted donuts made with locally sourced ingredients, such as the matcha donut filled with strawberry jam and topped with coconut flakes.

Ramen Danbo

Vancouver is home to a thriving ramen scene, and Ramen Danbo is one of the city’s best-loved spots for this Japanese comfort food. Though they have a few permanent locations, you can still find their popular ramen trucks at various festivals and events throughout the year.
