1. Les Amis Du Fromage
Vancouver, BC V6J 1H6
(604) 732-4218
Category:
Cheese Shops
Neighbourhood: Fairview Slopes
This little cheese shop sends my heart aflutter. Yes, it's terribly stinky but oh so great.
With a focused dedication to cheese, the selection here is wide, varied and very overwhelming. Today, alone, I had my pick of five different kinds of Brie,…More »
2. Bean Around the World Coffees
Ah, Bean. Had it not been for you and your blended mochas, I don't know if I would have survived living with at my parents'.
Right at the corner of Main and 20th, it draws techie nerds, moms and their entourage, and hipsters en route to neighbouring…More »
3. Does Your Mother Know?
Vancouver, BC V6J 5L1
(604) 730-1110
Category:
Newspapers & Magazines
Neighbourhood: Kitsilano
This is the perfect place to sit and wile away the hours... until someone kicks you out, that is. Not that that has happened to me yet, but I do take advantage of their tremendous selection of art journals and foreign fashion magazines.
Having just…More »
4. Epicurean Caffe Bistro
Vancouver, BC V6J 1G5
(604) 731-5370
Categories:
Delis,
Sandwiches,
Breakfast & Brunch
Neighbourhood: Kitsilano
Despite all the eateries in the area, it comes as no surprise that Epicurean has still managed to hold its own. The food is delicious. Using fresh ingredients, the Italian-influenced menu consists gourmet standard deli fare. Enjoy the remaining days…More »
5. Fifth Avenue Cinemas
Vancouver, BC V6J 3H6
(604) 734-8700
Category:
Cinema
Neighbourhoods: Kitsilano, Fairview Slopes
Though I still pine for movie prices of yesteryear, this is the one place in town where I am less reluctant to part with my cash. With only five screening rooms, the atmosphere is distinctly more intimate than its cinematic peers like Silvercity.

6. Gallery Jones
Vancouver, BC V6J 1K7
(604) 714-2216
Category:
Art Galleries
Neighbourhood: Fairview Slopes
One of my favourite spaces in Vancouver. Unlike some of its neighbouring peers, the three men who own Gallery Jones are so completely devoid of pretension and arrogance. The roster is ever-evolving--four new artists have popped up in the last…More »
7. Granville Island
Vancouver, BC V6H 3R9
(604) 685-8335
Category:
Parks
Neighbourhood: Granville Island/False Creek
This area is, bar none, one of my favourite destinations in Vancouver for locals and tourists alike. Great for people watching, shopping, eating, craft-making and sightseeing, it's the perfect setting for an afternoon meandering.
For the bourgeoning…More »
8. Gravity Pope Shoes
I always cross the intersection of Fourth Ave and Yew with a palpating heart. Gravity Pope is barely discernable yet I can already hear that familiar argument. Should I go in? No.... but it's so pretty. Still conflicted but weakened by indecision, I…More »
9. Gyoza King
Naming a restaurant after a dish is a serious undertaking. In doing that, you are presenting yourself as an authority on the food. To succeed is to honour that culinary tradition. To fail is to render a disservice to not only the customer but to…More »
10. Holt Renfrew
Vancouver, BC V7Y 1K2
(604) 681-3121
Category:
Department Stores
Neighbourhood: Downtown
I initially found the renovations jarring. Gone were the stuffy beige carpeting and pebbly floor covering. Now, several stores down from its original spot, Holt Renfrew has undergone a massive makeover. Occupying four floors, it's big, bright and…More »
11. Jonathan & Olivia Boutique - CLOSED
Vancouver, BC V5T 3E4
(604) 637-6224
Categories:
Men's Clothing,
Women's Clothing
Neighbourhood: Mount Pleasant
Nestled neatly in trendy SoMa is Jonathan + Olivia, a hip industrial space filled with unique designs destined to keep you wanting. The boutique is small yet airy. Light cascades through the floor-to-ceiling windows and infuses every corner while…More »
12. The Locus
Vancouver, BC V5V 3P6
(604) 708-4121
Categories:
Canadian (New),
Lounges
Neighbourhood: Riley Park
The weekend is fast approaching and, given the late hour and the fact that dinner was hours ago, I find myself hungry and craving Sunday brunch. While the shadowed dinning room of Locus is hardly as charming as the tree-lining patios of Kits, the…More »
13. Misch
Vancouver, BC V6H 3J7
(604) 731-1017
Categories:
Accessories,
Women's Clothing
Neighbourhoods: Fairview Slopes, South Granville
The bell on the door chimes discreetly in the background as another client walks in with restrained excitement. She surveys the room, taking in the subtle scents, sights, colours and textures. She slinks towards the racks of clothing, gingerly eyeing…More »
14. Sophia Books - CLOSED
This tiny little store in the heart of Gastown is enough to send people into a frenzy of language envy. What started as a Japanese/English store has blossomed into a multi-language and international cultural mecca. Stocked here are books in French,…More »
15. Toshi Sushi
Vancouver, BC V5T 4R2
(604) 874-5173
Categories:
Sushi Bars,
Japanese
Neighbourhoods: Mount Pleasant, Riley Park
Small, busy and with interesting flavours... a very similar experience to Nippon itself!
If the long queue of hungry patrons out front is any indication, the food here is good. Authenticity has been key to sustaining its popularity; so while it's…More »
16. Zulu Records
As a high school student, I always used to find Zulu Records' employees incredibly intimidating, especially whenever I made the mistake of wandering in while still wearing my school uniform. Those withering looks... oh, the shame! There was a…More »
