The 10 best cheap eats in Vancouver.
Cheap, and over the odds on quality. Harry's list is ranked by Worth It score: how much quality you get for what you spend, not just how little you spend.
How Harry ranks cheap eats
Value is not just price.| Cheapest tier | The cheapest price tier, or the second tier when a real source confirms it and Harry rates the place Great Value or Cheap but Cheerful. |
|---|---|
| Worth It score | The ranking. It measures quality against price, so a high number means the place punches above its price class. Not just cheap; cheap for what you get. |
| Harry Score 70+ | Cheap eats still have to be good eats. Nothing under seventy, and nothing Harry rates a tourist tax, a false economy or paying for the scene. |
