Kitsilano Community

This is the restaurant that made me move to Vancouver. To give a bit of color around this bold statement let me also say that I had been traveling for over a year, my pocket book was thin, and I was largely eating non-meat meals. This is a place that makes travelers feel at home. The Naam delivered a healthy and generous sized meal in the vegetarian salisbury steak with a miso gravy sauce on top of my mashed potatoes and vegetables. I ate the whole thing, ordered a giant slice of carrot cake, and kicked back and listened to the sounds of a guy jamming on the sitar. That was 8 years ago! You know what, I don't think much has changed. The Naam is still crowded, the wait staff is still slammed, the food is still good, and the music is still interesting.

Every year Jericho Beach Park hosts a great group of folk and roots musicians from around the world. I know, I know....isn't Jericho Beach in Point Grey? Who cares! With past guests like Arrested Development, Michael Franti and Spearhead you'll be sure to find yourself dancing barefoot by the beach very close to Kits. So make sure this summer you enjoy some LIVE music next to one of the best backdrops in the world! Tip: Take the bus, bike or walk to the show. No need for parking headaches.
