Unless you go around the corner of the Umbrella Shop on Granville Island, you won't find this cute, quaint, but more importantly, extremely delicious gelateria. I kept hearing about this place as "the yummy gelato place on Granville Island" and I…More »

After reading L. C.'s review a couple months back, I was determined to go and get an almond croissant. I tried once in late March, but alas, they had run out. So went early this morning (8:45am?) and sure enough they have some. Took my croissant…More »

The tour was great and my first introduction and only to beer making. I love the little taster round at the end. And sometimes there is even extra beer leftover making it a happier experience!

Yay for fresh turkey!
I'm a huge fan. My sisters, whom I've lived with the majority of my life (and still do live with one right now), are super picky eaters and don't eat all sorts of meats because of personal preference (i.e. not religion or…More »

This place is great for an introduction to sake. I had no idea about anything about sake and it was neat to go here and listen to Masa speak about the process of making sake and the microorganisms involved. The fact that it's locally made, high…More »

I love walking in here during the odd day that they have art exhibits in their main area. It makes for a good break from the rain/heat/sun/wind. And a lot of the pieces these students create are really cool and interesting to ponder over with a…More »

I've been frequenting this cafe whenever I go to G-ville Island since 2003. I like the coffee here. It's decent. They make a good mocha. And they also can make maple lattes!! Which has recently become my new favorite cuppa jo. This place hardly lets…More »

They have a great cheese selection, but i love that you can taste them before choosing some random one and hoping it works out for the best. It's a great way to open up your world to cheeses and realize that it can be so much more than cheddar or…More »

These people seemed to charge quite a bit less for produce than the sunlight farms people when you first enter the public market. Plus, if you ask, they actually let you try a cherry before you buy it. And, they were the only people at the market…More »

Great fresh produce. But they're almost ALWAYS more expensive than the other produce stands if you go in further. I bought cherries for $4.99 per pound and later I found the same great cherries inside more for $3.99. Same with strawberries.

I love the aquabus! I wish I had a need to use it more often but I don't often go from downtown to granville island, and when I do, I'm driving. But nevertheless, it's awesome! And not toooooo expensive. Though, it would be as good as it gets if it…More »

Well it's not my favorite place to dine at, and I wouldn't really go here on my own decision. But the food is good if you're into steaks and lobster (I'm not so much into steak...). You do pay a shiny penny for it, considering it's a chain, but it's…More »

This restaurant really could step it up a notch. The location is great. Service is great. The food is... alright. Not inspiring to me. I got the chipotle chicken soup special which was a good idea in concept, but I could barely taste the chipotle,…More »

Recently updated lists from Reena M.

Staying Active (20) Things to do, places to go to keep a healthy lifestyle	Taking Care of Myself (21) This is how I do it. All the places I go to pamper myself, take care of my well-being, and look pretty.
Give a good GIft! (36) There are so many cute shops in Vancouver. Here a some places to buy a gift for that special someone (mostly female)!	Going South... of Vancouver (29) Vancouver is so close to the border, so it's not difficult to make trips to visit our southern neighbours some what often. However, I cut off the use of the term "neighbour" after Seattle.
The Morning After...brunchity brunch! (35) Places to have your petit dej, otherwise known as breakfast, that should fill a belly full of hangover or just be good for breakfast anyway.	Daaaaaammmmmmnnn Cheeeeeep! (26) Great Deals in Vancouver! With this economy, we need all the help we can get!

A Coconut's Guide to Indian Food in the GVRD (23) Now, I'm no Indian Food expert, but I often get asked about the best Indian food places. Maybe because I am Indian?? These are some of the ones I've been to in the GVRD. And no, Vij's doesn't count!
Yelpage (36) Yelp is more than writing reviews! It's all about the UYEs, CMYEs, and of course, the Elite Events! Here is a list of the great Yelp events put on by the best Yelpers in town.	My Absolute Vancouver Food Faves (8) These are the dining options I seem to be recommending time and time again (occasion dependent of course), as well as dream about when I'm not there.
