Vancouver Dining Review Sites



















Foodvancouver.com is a dining review site for people looking for restaurants in Vancouver. To list the horizontal layout of some categories:

-Restaurants
-Dining Guide
-Recipes
-Special Diets
-News
-Coupons
-Events
-Videos
-Site map














Benefits: What I like about this site is it has a page dedicated to coupons and events, which give me extra incentive to dine-out with the feeling that I made a "wise" choice. In addition, I found the famous "Dine Out Vancouver 2010" event on this website and was relieved that I have not missed the deadline for reservation. One more complement to add is its usability; I find it as practical as it can be, just by looking at the coupon site, site map if someone wants to get a bird-eye view of all the contents.




















Overall: What makes the dining review sites different from Food blogs is the layout. You can get the most relevant information in the order of your choice. (Not to mention that it has links for maps and shows the type of restaurant on the top to get a quick idea of what I am looking at). For example, you can find restaurant reviews by region/cuisine/atmosphere etc. Then, you can further have them ranked in the order of best reviews/most views/price/ alphabetical order. In other words, it is user-friendly so that you can save time searching for your tastes.
