1. Araxi Restaurant + Bar
Araxi is my favorite restaurant in Canada (well, second to Splendido in Toronto, so let's say that Araxi is my favorite restaurant in Canada that doesn't cost over $400 for two). They used to have a vegetarian menu if you asked for it, they didn't…More »

Stopped in for a drink this afternoon and my my my was I impressed. We opened the place, sat at the bar, and had the bartender's complete attention. I barely glanced at the cocktail list before saying to the bartender "you decide".

Californian approved. I almost knocked a star off for the tortillas (they don't seem to be housemade), but decided that would be way too picky since they were still good.
I had the roasted poblano, corn & cheese taco and the bean & cheese taco. The…More »

5. Hive Hair Spa
Haruno and the rest of the team at Hive make sitting in a chair for 3+ hours a luxurious experience (it helps that the chairs are comfy leather and come with foot stools and blankets).
I go to Hive for Japanese Ionic Straightening, and really…More »

I've never done the Grouse Grind, but I'm going to pretend I know what I'm talking about and say that the Stawamus Chief is far superior.

Unfortunately (for me) this location has relocated to somewhere in Richmond. I discovered this after braving terrible "Vancouverites cannot drive in snow" traffic after work today.

8. Quails' Gate Estate Winery
We didn't manage to do a tasting here as we were hungry & ate at their Old Vines restaurant instead, but we did come up after our meal to buy two bottles of the Chenin Blanc - the best BC wine I've ever had. They had no problem locating a couple of…More »
9. Desert Hills Winery
After a morning of stingy pours (really, how am I supposed to be able to tell if I want to buy your wine If you don't even give me a full sip), Desert Hills was a refreshing relief.
Not only did the host of the small space provide proper pours along…More »
