The real list, hand-picked by CrossFit BC coaches and members. Bowls, salads, and weeknight refuels worth the walk, not a Google Maps dump.
Vancouver has an absurd amount of food. Most of it is great. A smaller slice fits the way an athlete actually wants to eat: protein you can identify, vegetables that didn't sit in a steam tray, and portions that don't leave you face down on the couch.
This is that smaller slice. Every spot here has been ordered from, re-ordered from, and quietly approved by someone who trains at CrossFit BC. We group them by neighbourhood because that's how you actually use a list like this: "what's near me right now?". Use the search to filter for a dish or a vibe (poke, ramen, date-night, post-WOD).
