Is there any way I could love this place more?
Well, maybe if Jude Law worked there and spent the night flattering me. Ok, maybe not, I hear he's a DB... but he's pretty. So ANYWAY, I have nothing but rave reviews for this place. It's the #1 place I…More »
2. Social Bites
By far one of my BEST dining experience of 2009-- I was absolutely bowled over by this event. SB connects people together... and the food... let me just say that diners hugely benefit from the healthy competition between the chefs. The food I…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 »

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 »

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.

Italian

Came to this cute little spot on Friday and discovered a packed house! Had the Tagliatelle pasta dish and a bowl of olives. The olives were nice (not life changing, but nice) and the pasta was UBER fresh, cheesy and awesome. Still craving it.

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)
The…More »
8. 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 »
9. Boneta Restaurant
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 »

Neighbourhoods: Grandview-Woodlands, The Drive
I used to be all about coming here on a packed out Thursday night to hear random artists sing about requited/unrequited love, roadtrips to Manitoba, cheese, etc., Lately, though, it takes a lot to bring me back. I fully enjoy their veggie burgers,…More »

What a magical, charming, romantic, cozy, whimsical little spot-- like out of a secret antique, plant-filled world! I am in love.

12. Narrow Lounge
A secret spot within a secret spot, behind a secret spot. Whoaaaa-- mind exploding!
Oh Narrow, how you're so awesomely clever.
If discovering a bar tucked behind an art gallery wasn't enough, Narrow upped the anti with their retro-fabulous tiki bar…More »
13. The Cellar Jazz Club
Had a gorgeous time at this hidden hole in the wall. Located downstairs below the street, it was an exciting little gem to discover. The musicians were incredible (I could NOT stop watching the piano player & upright bass players... they were on…More »

My mind = Blown
It's not often that my life is changed by food, but tonight that's happened. A group of us gals came here and sampled random nibbles while catching up. Insanely delicious, flavourful, healthy, zesty, etc., etc.,

I'm not a breakfast person, but came here yesterday morning and was happy to see some lunch items on the brunch menu! I ordered Wild Mushroom Ravioli with wine and butter sauce. It was so great, esp when I thought I'd be stuck eating eggs (I find…More »

Neighbourhood: West End
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 »
20. The Fort Wine Company
The drive out here is so beautiful and is the perfect lead up to a beautiful time at Fort Wine Company. Out in the back 40, you'll see fields upon more fields (many filled with berry bushes) behind the cute little home that the Fort Wine is presented…More »
21. Cliffhanger Climbing
I hate exercise. It's boring. It's painful. I don't do it. Imagine my surprise when I discovered a way to build muscle while having fun. Saweeeeet!
So last night was my second time visiting Cliffhanger in RIchmond. Being a newbie to climbing, I don't…More »
22. Sole Spa
Get the heck outta town!
Whoever came up with the idea of a foot massage lounge ought to be group hugged at this very moment. Foot massages are pretty much the best thing on earth (next to puppy dogs and double rainbows) so naturally I was overjoyed…More »
23. The Comedy Mix
Came here on Tuesday for a good ol' night of amateur comedy. Knowing there'd be newbies onstage, I came expecting the worst while knowing that the crash an burn can be hugely entertaining.
I'll admit that some serious crashing took place onstage but…More »
24. Quarry Rock
Tired of the Grouse Grind? The hike to Quarry Rock is a fab alternative. With more greenery, a rushing creek to enjoy and fewer people wade through it's miles more enjoyable than the Grind (the half way marker kills my soul). Once at the…More »

North Vancouver, BC V7P 3P6
(778) 896-6772
I've paintballed (is that a verb?) in Kamloops, Regina and Vancouver, indoor and outdoor and North Shore Paintball is a real treat. I'm not an expert shoots-man (more of an expert 'hides-man') but I had a blast and that certainly counts for…More »

I came here on a date once and it was *so* much fun. I mean, who after a snazzy dinner date expects to lace up some rented sneakers and swing at birdies until 1am? The whole energy of the place is positive, with competitive young folks burning off…More »

Wow. What a way to enjoy the city. With panoramic views at 430 feet it's hard to not enjoy life at the top. Though the Shangri-la dwarfs Harbour Centre considerably, the Lookout's height is actually ideal because it's low enough to still make out…More »
