While our Kitsilano neighbourhood gets more expensive by the minute, there are still plenty of excellent lunch options around that won’t cost you more than your hourly wage.

From fresh and delicious sandwiches and salads to curries, burgers, and sushi, here’s our quick guide to a cheap lunch in Kits.

Sandwiches

An easy, classic choice for a healthy and satisfying lunch, a decent sandwich should never cost more than $10, and it won’t at Tractor Foods ($9.50) on West 4th Avenue, Plaisir Sucre ($6.99) on Arbutus Street, and Terra Breads ($9.50) on West 4th Avenue.

Good Fast Food

For $9.95 you can get a grass-fed local beef burger from Moderne Burger on West Broadway. Tera V Burger, also on West Broadway, offers a wide range of vegetarian burgers that start at a mere $6.49.
