Wilson also stopped by Maizal, a Mexican street food joint on Main Street last week, where he likely enjoyed more than just cold water. At least, we hope so. Vancouver Sun restaurant critic Mia Stainsby reports that the eatery “serves hearty tacos made with fresh, house-made corn tortillas.” Sounds yummy!
Local hero Seth Rogen was photographed at Maenam restaurant earlier this month, where the establishment's wine director, Curtis Colt, shared a selfie with the Vancouver actor. “Hot new comedy duo,” Colt joked in the post.
Filming for The Last of Us has already had social media buzzing with fan sightings and a post-apocalyptic Seattle-like set built in Vancouver's Chinatown, so it's no surprise that series star Pedro Pascal was photographed dining out downtown.
Chef Giuseppe Pino Posteraro of Yaletown's Cioppino's posted photos on Instagram of actors Pascal Pantoliano and Joe Pantoliano dining at the Mediterranean restaurant, including one that shows the fan-favorite actor blowing a kiss.
