Kick off the new year with the resolve to try some of the city's brand-new restaurants.
Among the many spots to try, there's Spanish tapas, loaded late night burgers, and even an all plant-based eatery. Here are 5 new restaurants to check out in Vancouver this January.

This long-awaited Spanish tapas joint opened up at the end of November, and is packed nightly with fans of gin, small plates, briny olives and oil-packed seafood. They've got sherry and vermouth on tap, too.
Address: 201 E. 7th Ave.

At Hundy, burger fans will find a patty made of a blend of beef brisket and shoulder from Two Rivers, with a signature bun and special sauce, of course. On the side will be double-cooked fries. The counter-service spot features craft brews, and operates select nights inside sibling Kits cafe Their There.
Address: 2042 W. 4th Ave. (within Their There)
Soil
