1. Vij's Restaurant
Vancouver, BC V6H 1L1
(604) 736-6664
Category:
Indian
Neighbourhoods: Fairview Slopes, South Granville
Honestly, this is one of the best meals I've ever had in my life.
I'm lucky enough to live within a five minute walk of Vij's. I took my parents here when they came to visit. We got there just after 5, so all the folks who were smart enough to line up…More »
2. Les Faux Bourgeois
Vancouver, BC V5T 2R6
(604) 873-9733
We went back for my boyfriend's birthday last month. He can't resist the French food.
We shared the escargot appetizer. Delightfully garlicky. We finished this quickly.
For mains, I chose the beef tenderloin while he chose the cassoulet. I chose much…More »

Real French food, real French waiters (!), reasonable prices. My boyfriend took me here last Friday… Read more »
4. Hastings Racecourse
Vancouver, BC V5K 3N8
(604) 254-1631
Category:
Stadiums & Arenas
Neighbourhood: Hastings-Sunrise
This place is only depressing if you make it so. Sure, there are folks here who probably like gambling a little too much, but it's a fun place to go with friends on a Friday night. Bet your $2 on the horse with the silliest name, buy beer for $3.50…More »
5. Ridge Theatre
Only one other review? The Ridge deserves more!
Came here for the first time tonight to see a free movie (thanks for the contest, Yelp!) and was pleasantly surprised. Lovely old art deco style theatre, with a huge screening room and great vintage…More »
6. Pacific Cinematheque
This place is awesome. We came by today for their open house and free screening of Casablanca. We were offered free popcorn (with butter!) and free water and sat outside listening to a jazz band and watching people take their photos on the red carpet…More »
7. Molly Moon's Ice Cream
Seattle, WA 98122
USA
(206) 708-7947
Category:
Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt
Neighbourhood: Capitol Hill
Excellent ice cream. Amazing waffle cones. They have some unusual flavours that are worth a try (my seasonal mulled wine sorbet, for example) but don't hold up when having a whole giant scoop. If you're not adventurous, stick with the classics. If…More »
8. Narrow Lounge
Perfect spot for last night's girls' night. A little bit out of the way but feels like someone's awesome basement rec room/speakeasy.
One of my friends was already there when the other two of us arrived, thankfully, as it was fairly busy for a Tuesday…More »
9. Rio Theatre
Vancouver, BC V5N 1W1
(604) 879-3456
Categories:
Cinema,
Performing Arts
Neighbourhoods: Grandview-Woodlands, The Drive, Kensington-Cedar Cottage
I still love the Rio, but I wish they had the whole schedule for the month up in advance. I had a last Groupon to use before the 25th and starting in late September I was trying to figure out what movie we'd go see, but their October schedule wasn't…More »

Awesome indie theatre showing first run films. The manpanion and I saw True Grit there last night… Read more »
10. Le Gavroche Restaurant
Impeccable service, fantastic French food, super cozy romantic atmosphere. We went here during Dine Out last year and the staff were fantastic -- they didn't overbook themselves, everyone (even poor students doing Dine Out) was treated amazingly, and…More »
11. Vogue Theatre
Vancouver, BC V6Z 1L2
(604) 331-7900
Categories:
Performing Arts,
Music Venues
Neighbourhoods: Downtown, Granville Entertainment District
Beautiful theatre with fantastic sightlines even from the balcony. Not too big, not too small, the perfect size for all your favourite bands to play. I saw Godspeed You! Black Emperor play last night and was impressed by the acoustics. GY!BE's wall…More »
12. The Irish Heather
Vancouver, BC V6B 2J2

Categories:
Irish,
Gastropubs
Neighbourhoods: Downtown, Gastown
I came here last night for a special event with a group. We had the long table booked and we had a set menu including dinner, dessert, drink, tax and tip for $26. Totally reasonable considering the usually long table menus are $16 plus tax and tip…More »

Categories:
Performing Arts,
Venues & Event Spaces
Neighbourhoods: Grandview-Woodlands, The Drive
I saw 1984 here with some friends a couple weeks ago and was really impressed by the venue. It's a gorgeous space. My boyfriend and I got the cheapest tickets (about $13) but the sightlines were still great, we could see no problem.
Cozy red velvet…More »
14. Grandview Lanes
Vancouver, BC V5N 4B3
(604) 253-2747
Category:
Bowling
Neighbourhoods: Grandview-Woodlands, The Drive
We seem to come here for everybody's birthday. I'm a crappy bowler, but I can't help but have fun at Grandview. You can play 5 pin, 10 pin, or glow bowling upstairs, but I always stick with 10 pin. If you come early enough you can do the three game…More »
15. Vancouver Theatresports League
Vancouver, BC V6H 3S4
(604) 738-7013
Category:
Performing Arts
Neighbourhood: Granville Island/False Creek
We went to the Vancouver Theatresports League on Saturday for their "Off-White Christmas Special." Nothing was super special about it, except that their improv suggestions all had to be Christmas themed. The first half was kind of meh, but the second…More »
