1. Bao Bei Chinese Brasserie
What I love:

The decor- creative, classy and funky
The drinks- FABULOUS- made with extra care, fresh ingredients (one of them, love) and are packed with flavor (I tried the plum drink and the pina colada)

2. Le Gavroche Restaurant
The food was great, but this one item changed my life: the onion tarts. I would have never thought to order one of these, but they brought them to our table as a free little canape. Let me just say, they were the highlight of the meal. Call ahead…More »

The drinks made here are made with fresh ingredients (all visible on the island in the bartenders area) and are really good. And pricey. Ladies, it's a good place to get your pretty on. ; )

Vancouver, BC V6B 1A5
(604) 684-1844
Delicious. Classy. Perfect.
We were greeted with champagne because it was our birthdays. Nice! We ordered all the starters on the menu and the ceviche was a winner. All tasty though! We also ordered the gnocchi, and it was the best kind I have…More »

Atmosphere--- FABULOUS. Eco-modern, classy, hip- you get the idea. For being in Steveston, the style definitely stands out, and that's what drew us there as we walked by.
We had dessert ($6 for each, very tasty, nice presentation. The tirimasu…More »

Came here for drinks to join my friends birthday party. It was picturesque... 6 girls around a round table, beneath a chandelier, laughing, drinking... it felt like we were on SATC! Very classy, beautiful... a perfect memory together. Now as for…More »

Super romantic atmosphere (I felt like I was in Europe), cozy, lowlit, warm, lively (with a lineup) and best of all, in EAST VAN! What a fabulous surprise. The food was great, the decor charming, and the price was reasonable. Great date spot if…More »

I had already eaten and was stopping in to visit a birthday party so I ordered the $5 French Onion Soup. Also because I'm poor, haha. Let me tell you, that was dang good soup. TINY though-- the bowl it is served in is HALF the size of a small mug…More »

My goodness, is there anywhere better to kickback with great food, handsome male servers and tunes that remind you of grade school? No. Well, maybe, but none that come to mind right now because all I can think about are the Pan Fried Oysters that…More »

What a magical, charming, romantic, cozy, whimsical little spot-- like out of a secret antique, plant-filled world! I am in love.
I ordered the house salad (pear, blue cheese, walnuts) and it was so beautiful I had to stare at it for awhile. Like…More »

Clearly a place that is known for its martini's can't (and doesn't need to) have great food... right?
Well, my impression was challenged when Ty took me here for a hot date! YEAH baby!
They seated us in a plush velvet booth with curtains that could…More »

Came here on a Thursday night to a pretty packed house. The service was superb (one of the best I have ever experienced in Vancouver) with a down to earth, knowledgeable server who was comfortably attentive. The staff even remembered my friend (and…More »
13. Six Acres
Not bad!
Tina, Ty & I came here last night for a quick bite to eat. The place was packed (as were all the resto's in Maple Tree Square) and we were lucky to be seated right away at a table upstairs in the back.
The resto is low-lit, with little…More »

Just what the doctor ordered.
After a busy weekend the bf and I decided to kick back at this lovely little house-to-resto renno. Cozy, low-lit, with tasteful use of whites. I totally unwound... and let out my inner grade 8 self by writing Ty a note on…More »

My gf and I came here on opening night at 5pm to a resto more full of camera crew than actual patrons. I'd been invited on Twitter and so thought I'd swing by to check it out. Having been in meetings since 8am, I was looking rough, so I darted to the…More »

EFF YEAH!
An original space... and even the word 'original' feels like an understatement.
The name 'PropHouse' comes from cafe's biz of renting out props (you're welcome for stating the obvious). Truthfully though, I wouldn't have guessed it but it…More »

Whoa and whoa.
Planning a night out with the girls? Maybe check this place out. Maybe sit in the front open area of the lobby. Maybe a mysterious person will send you 2 bottles of champagne (we still don't know who it was). Maybe cute guys will ask to…More »

If you love secret little spaces, The Diamond will make you swoon. Though not such a secret with locals in the know, the fact that one could possibly walk past it hundreds of times without knowing it's there makes it oh-so special.

Please, for the love of everything good in this world, try their macarons. Almond-flavoured mini sandwiches of delicate sweetness. One bite and I was catapulted to euphoria. Oh please, can I just have one (make that ten) more..?

Can I just say that this place is simply magical at 7pm in springtime. MAGICAL.
Picture this: you're chilling on a mat, the sun is setting, candles are lit, pink crystals are glowing.
