bestie

great food! i really enjoyed my meal here, and the selection of craft beers that they had to offer. the ambiance of the restaurant was awesome too and the service was quick and efficient! i can't wait to come back here!

ok beer selection, like the option to get a "stein" sized beer. currywurst was amazing, very good pork sausage, i got the mayo and green onions on mine, delicious.

meh... well it offers what it promises, which is basically different flavors of sausages, and they are ok, but they charge too much for them. friendly staff, not many seats. might visit again, but not crazy about them.

anti-climatic place. currywurst can't compare to what you'd get in berlin. wish they made their fries in house rather than your standard frozen ones. pretzel was meh, unevenly shaped so it was too hard in some areas too soft in others. mustard variety was good. decor is great, nice atmosphere overall and simple menu allows for good return on investment.

i ordered the pork and curtis ordered the  special which was rosemary lamb. both were delicious but i have to admit the rosemary lamb was the better choice. it had more flavour than the traditional pork bratwurst. these were under the sausage and sauerkraut part of the menu, all meats are locally made, all natural sausage served with warm sauerkraut, house mustard, crispy fries, and mayonnaise. the fries were amazing, crispy on the outside and very light and fluffy inside.

it really doesn't get anymore hipster than this place! the decor is simple as is the selection of food, however i assure, this will be the best wurst you have ever had. i have to been to berlin, but the food and interesting selection of shandy beers sure take you there. currywurst! how the hell can you go wrong with that dish. mmmmm

i'd been wanting to check this place out for awhile - i love german food... beer, sausages, mustard, sauerkraut, and was intrigued by the modern style and simplicity. it did not disappoint, i'll definitely be back. a couple of friends and i went mid day on a tuesday, and it was full, so i bet it fills up quickly on a weekend night. we got curry wurst, beer, sausages, sauerkraut and side beet salad. all tasty. i could have done with a hotter, grainy mustard. their beer selection is solid: german imports and various draft locals. super bonus for me: they do veggie sausages for all you veggies like me out there.

i love everything about bestie. i love how the interior looks, with the wood panel walls and the cute booth by the window. with little details like the cuckoo clock against the white wall and the white beer mugs hanging behind the counter. they have a simple but great menu. you can choose between currywurst or sausage and sauerkraut. whichever of the two you decide to get, you get to choose your own sausage. the currywurst comes with a bed of fries topped with a sliced sausage and seasoned with their homemade curry ketchup. the sausage and sauerkraut comes with a side of fries, sauerkraut and your choice of sausage. i like to substitute my fries with cheese fries. they also have a good collection of beer and great specials that change often. another reason why i love going to bestie is because some nights they stay open late. it’s also good to note that their veggie sausage is actually vegan so it’s a good place to go for the vegan and non-vegans alike.

i’ve tried the real currywurst in berlin, but i would say bestie does it just as good or even better! currywurst is really just sausage on fries with a curry powder mixed ketchup sauce. at bestie, there are really two main sausage menu items: the currywurst or sausage with sauerkraut. i’m not a huge fan of sauerkraut, so s and i chose the currywurst. you can then choose from the type of meat you want in the sausage. we went for the classic pork thüringer , which was very delicious. you can tell the sausages are made with fresh meat. the curry ketchup is slightly spicy, but not overwhelming. i also liked the tangy flavour of the ketchup, which was more like tomato paste. the fries themselves, aren’t anything special. i wuoldn’t say they are crispy, but the sauce makes the fries flavourful and tasty. currywurst – turkey chorizo g go the currywurst with the turky chorizo as the meat in the sausage. the chorizo gave the sausage a slight more heat than the classic pork sausage. very good as well. if you like ketchup and spice, you will like bestie’s currywursts. i do find that the prices are on the high side at around $8.50 per order. it’s almost like paying for a full meal! it does fill you up, but knowing that it’s just fries and sausages makes you wonder how much they make from this. pros: – great spot to try currywurst – quality sausages cons:

sauerkraut tastes straight from the jar. nothing exceptional about it. could use added spices, pinch of sugar. limited sausage selection. if you have any german heritage you will be disappointed and will already know where to get a good bratwurst. this is not that place.

bestie exudes a low-fi, craptastic, indie hipster vibe in spades, evidenced by the hand painted paper menus. this place puts forth a great effort, and what they do, they do well. we had ample face time with the manager, and found out that currywurst (sausage, with fries and sprinkled with curry powder) is a very popular german street food. beer is definitely the featured beverage at bestie, available in 8 and 12 ounce glasses and the massive 24 ounce white beer steins, with tap selections from local microbrews

my hands still smell like currywurst. not that i'm complaining. there's nothing more beautiful than a fat bratwurst smothered in a copious amount of mysterious ketchup, on a bed of fries. glorious, just glorious. what can i say? i like my starch and protein! ;) can you tell i'm typing this in the wee hours of the night? i'm not drunk though...lol i went to soft peaks after, like any good food blogger would ;) there wasn't a lineup hehe. (i was expecting one.) turns out they use soy lecithin in their soft serve (found out after i had licked it). my tongue starting itching. so i had to throw away $5. there's nothing more saddening them trashing a perfectly good icecream. truly disheartening. how cool is this place? the little holes in the walls look like bird houses! :d currywurst w/ classic pork thuringer $8.50  3/5 stars   saucy, sweet, and a wee bit spicy!! a cross between curry/ketchup, perfectly tangy with some spice at the end. the pork thuringer was thick, juicy, and porky! the fries were pretty decent: i liked how they kept some of the skin on!   some reviews online said that the portion sizes were too small but

sausages.  beers.  besties. when the going gets tough, sometimes only the perfect trifecta of german beers and sausages with besties can save your soul after a long week and bestie  killed it on all three points last friday night.  it’s a good thing friends, matt and emily, were there to accompany me or else my night out might have been a bit of a letdown. a trendy little hideaway concealed inconspicuously between the shops and restaurants of vancouver’s chinatown, if it weren’t for the murmurs and whispers of an up and coming haus of sausage, you’d never think you’d be able to get your hands on some wurst in this historic part of town. wurst indeed though and not just any wurst at that.  you’ve got your currywurst , your bratwurst , your turkey chorizo wurst , and your  rosemary lamb wurst. best eaten when a beering because if ever there was a moment you felt the need to devour a dinner of curry ketchup smothered sausage atop a bed of deep fried spuds, trust me when i say this is it. if the beer hasn’t started flowing prior to arrival, bestie’s got you covered with their small selection of local and german beers.  a nice accompaniment to the meal, it wouldn’t feel quite right without it.  be sure to check out their  drink special  of the day because you never know what you might be missing. old asian ladies love their ginger so the refreshingly spicy  munich mule  was exactly what this old asian lady was looking for. what would a german haus of sausage be without the pretzel?  $4 pretzel and mustard  - we had to have it.  to share a lone pretzel between three people is no easy feat and some fingers may have been lost in the process, but we overcame. accompanied by a  dijon mustard  and two grainy made in house mustards, this chewy pretzel is a fun way to kick start any sausage dinner. once the pretzel is gone and the wurst arrives, that’s when the party really gets started.  there are two mains to pick from – currywurst  as well

bestie is the wurstie..... with all the local hype i expected the veggie wurst to be the best i had ever tasted but was enormously disappointed. the veggie wurst was a tofurky sausage! those of you who are vegetarians need no explanation. but for those who are our carnivore friends, tofurky is a mass produced vegetarian meat product who also makes sausages. it looks, smells, and tasted exactly like the tofurky dog. not to make any accusations, but i could have sworn it was the same thing. so much for originality.

i ordered the pork and curtis ordered the special which was rosemary lamb. both were delicious but i have to admit the rosemary lamb was the better choice. it had more flavour than the traditional pork bratwurst. these were under the sausage and sauerkraut part of the menu, all meats are locally made, all natural sausage served with warm sauerkraut, house mustard, crispy fries, and mayonnaise. the fries were amazing, crispy on the outside and very light and fluffy inside.
