Get Outta the Tourist Traps and Get A Feel For Local Flavour
See All Lists
1. The Flying Beaver Bar
I'm definitely one to chase a view and this one is worth chasing. The building is half airport and half restaurant / pub. It's got a great ski lodge feel with wood beams and wide windows facing the Fraser River where float planes come and go before…More »
2. Bloedel Floral Conservatory
If you're a bird lover Bloedel won't disappoint. They have 3 perched birds who seem used to interacting with their fans. They'll probably speak to you too if you're looking for a little bird love. Though other birds are running about, chirping…More »
3. Marc Emery's Cannabis Culture
Vancouver, BC V6B 1H6
(604) 689-0590
Category:
Cannabis Clinics
Neighbourhood: Downtown
I love that it's been all Americans writing up to this point...time for a Canadian to pipe up.
Here's a shop any cannabis aficionado or tourist off the beaten track would love - they've got great magazines, board games, hemp tees, logo tees,…More »
4. Central Bistro and Lounge
Vancouver, BC V6G 2M8

Categories:
Breakfast & Brunch,
Canadian (New),
Burgers
Neighbourhood: West End
Finally found a place for benny in the city that tops them all. Kicked back for yummy mimosas while my friend made plans to start carving one of their pumpkins. "Think they'll mind?" I didn't think so. In fact they brought us a knife, a bucket an…More »
5. Third Beach
On a nice fall day I love this beach. Feels isolated enough so as not to be crowded....and it's so pristine - not at all like dirty Kits. I can't even believe, when I'm here, that I'm in the middle of a metropolitan city. It's got an amazing bike…More »
6. Milano Coffee Roasting Company
Vancouver, BC V5Y 1N2
(604) 879-4468
Category:
Coffee & Tea
Neighbourhood: Mount Pleasant
Great place to start the morning. Everything just feels so fresh and alive. The place is beautiful, overlooking a nice stretch of fresh green grass, and staff offer a fresh smile with your order of fresh and tasty dark roast. I could sink in here…More »
7. Arbutus Coffee
This time I went in and first thing I noticed was the girl behind the counter and her big smile. It was a nice way to start my Saturday morning...an idyllic little coffee shop, a warm helpful smile and a perfect cup of coffee. Got beans to go too…More »

Arbutus Coffee is a sweet little place on a not so busy street. Great to wander in and grab a cup… Read more »
8. The Southside Diner
Great place to go for weekend brunch but they do have a list of rules (#9 - lost children will be given an espresso and a free kitten). Pay attention, staff here are surly, but sweet - a necessity given that the place is jam-packed with people…More »
9. Foundation
"Best meal I had in Van all week..."
Was recently just exploring my new neighborhood in Vancouver when I spotted this place. From the look of it I thought it was a board shop at first until I realized it was a resto which was great 'cause I was…More »
10. Aoki Sushi
My bf showed up at work one day with a huge platter to surprise everyone... so much tasty fish. Next time my boss wanted sushi for us he went out of his way to pick up an assortment from Aoki, and again it was right on the money. He added to the…More »
11. The Naam
Pretty pleasing place. Fortunately we came by on a quiet day (I hear it gets packed) and found a sweet spot on their charming patio. Was a little odd to have a chair seriously low to the ground while my friend sat up high but I lived with it. We…More »
12. Annapurna Restaurant
Vancouver, BC B6J 1M5
(604) 736-5959
Categories:
Vegetarian,
Indian,
Vegan
Neighbourhood: Kitsilano
Pretty pleasing place all around. Food was tasty, service was swell but it did seem to be missing a certain je ne sais quois....perhaps it was just that it was so quiet in there despite numerous customers that I felt inclined to speak at a low hush…More »
13. The Noodle Box
Huge line fortunately moved fast. Placed my order to somewhat of an exasperated chick, she said it would be about 20 mins wait for food to come out and it was. I appreciate the honesty.
Got a nice big bowl of black bean noodles, not bad. Tried the…More »
14. Phoscao Cafe
Vancouver, BC V6H 3J9
(604) 730-9555
Category:
Coffee & Tea

I grabbed a bag of beans from Phoscao last week and will def go back for more. Delish - no sugar needed - dark roast. Next time I'll be sure to stay awhile and enjoy this charming little cafe.
