I could have wandered Gastown all day and never known what I was missing. Thank heavens for tour guides, especially one like Lisa, familiar with every courtyard and cranny in this rapidly changing historical district. Is there anything she doesn't know about local dining?

Pourhouse has the city's best Scotch eggs, and if you've want juicy porchetta sandwiches, then elbow your way through the crazed lunch crowd at Meat & Bread.
