We went to some locals,boldface types,to tell us of their favourite restaurants for glimpse of that diversity.Get out your notepads, for somewhere in here, you'll feel a tug in your sub-conscious:
You'd guess Tymothy Taylor to be a panting foodie considering how he nails the culinary sub-plot in his masterful bestseller,Stanley Park, but in real life, haute cuisine barely registers."I'm pretty straight-ahead. I'm not a hyper-foodie by any stretch,"he says, "What I look for is definitely something relaxed where I can have conversations - not necessarily in huge groups, but I like the social aspect." He's a regular at Olympia Steak and Pizza on West Broadway with a clutch of friends.French bistro appeal ,as well, with Provence ,Pastis and Cafe de Paris on his hit list. For lunches, he likes the energy of small sushi joints. The Sushi Zero One on Pender is his current midday flame.

Step through the noren hanging in this door, sandwiched between dollar-pizza and donair joints, and you’ll hear something not heard in most of our Japanese restaurants. Yup, that’s native Japanese―Kazu and his staff all come from the motherland. Which in itself doesn’t mean much, except when the owner tells you that his is a small selection, done well, and that he guarantees the top quality of his fish―said with a Japanese modesty that exudes personal commitment. The chirashi don ($6.50) is a fresh assortment of sashimi on rice, garnished with radish sprouts, marinated shiitake mushrooms, chopped pickled vegetables and grated ginger. On the wall, with postings for ESL schools and eyelash perms, are certain menu items in Japanese only. Take a gamble and you could end up with the delightfully slippery tororo (grated mountain potato) with salmon eggs and ikura yamakake don ($10).―M.T.
