Noms Magazine is a Vancouver-based food lifestyle publication that is the new hub for hungry locals and visitors. We share and curate the best food spots, restaurants, things to do, places to stay and stories in Vancouver, Toronto, Calgary, Edmonton, Ottawa, Montreal, Seattle, Portland, and New York.
Since our inception in 2018, we now happily provide restaurant and activity recommendations to 200,000+ people every month through all our platforms.
With a small tiny team, we’re looking to continue to keep people updated on our thriving food and tourism scene in North America.

How We Create Our “Best” Lists
All Noms Magazine’s “best” lists are created using multiple factors and signals to help readers find the best restaurants, things to do, and places to stay at. Some of these factors and signs include personal experiences, correspondence with locals, and compiling experiences from review sites.
Each list is also created to be balanced (in terms of price, cuisine type, ambiance, and more) as possible. This means that the lists are not specifically created in ranking order. You should be comfortable picking from any of the spots on the list and generally have a good time. But of course, YMMV (your mileage may vary) and everyone may have different experiences/palates.
