1. Café Medina
Vancouver, BC V6B 2L3
(604) 879-3114
Category:
Breakfast & Brunch
Neighbourhood: Downtown
If Audrey Hepburn were alive, I would take her to breakfast at Medina. We would wear diamonds, morning suitable diamonds, to feast on those posh little waffles. I have a feeling she'd like the lavender latte, though I prefer it plain. We would…More »

The waffles at Cafe Medina are small, but oh so good. They come round and crispy and dusted with… Read more »

(604) 929-6377

3. Flour Bakeshop
This little bakery is so sweet. The owner bakes all these single-serving desserts like strawberry shortcakes and tarts, plus baguettes, every day, and they're displayed wonderfully in a big glass case. You can pick out some to take home, or sit right…More »
4. Lower Seymour Conservation Reserve
Formerly known as the Seymour Demonstration Forest, the Lower Seymour Conservation Reserve features one of the best multi-use recreational trails in the Vancouver area.
The paved 10 kilometre path starts at the parking lot at the top of Lillooet…More »
5. Dundarave Seawalk
The Dundarave Seawalk really is a thing of beauty. This wide, flat paved trail runs along West Vancouver's waterfront from Dundarave Park (near the Beach House Restaurant) to John Lawson Park. It's edged by well-maintained native shrubbery, with…More »

Vancouver, BC V6H 3J8
(604) 732-4405
Categories:
Bakeries,
Coffee & Tea,
Delis
Neighbourhoods: Fairview Slopes, South Granville
Walking in the door, I was gobsmacked by the display case. It's not as if I'd never seen a display case before, and I've been ordering and eating food all my life, but Picnic's cheesecakes, cookies, sandwiches, and macaroni and cheese, even, were all…More »

Categories:
Delis,
Canadian (New),

8. Café Calabria
Vancouver, BC V5N 4A4
(604) 253-7017
Categories:
Italian,
Coffee & Tea
Neighbourhoods: Grandview-Woodlands, The Drive
This is definitely not just another Italian cafe. I've been coming here for years, and I still think they make the best mochas ever. I don't know what brand of cream or chocolate they use, but it's gorgeous stuff. They also make a mean Americano, and…More »

Vancouver, BC V6A 1K3
(604) 696-9465
Categories:
Cosmetics & Beauty Supply,
Day Spas,
Eyelash Service
Neighbourhoods: Downtown, Gastown
I went in for an "express" facial at Wink, but truly got the VIP treatment. My esthetician was professional, informative, and friendly as she customized the skin care products she was using for my skin. I discovered I do have sensitive skin... who…More »
10. Pure Nail Bar
Vancouver, BC V6Z 2V1
(604) 605-1282
Category:
Nail Salons
Neighbourhoods: Downtown, Yaletown
I needed a mani; I hate making appointments. Solution: weekday trip to Pure Nail Bar. They're walk-in friendly, although, I found their reception a bit confusing... what do you need, sit here, no sit here. Finally, I got seated at the nail bar, where…More »

(604) 806-0255

Vancouver, BC V5Y 0B1

Neighbourhood: Granville Island/False Creek

North Vancouver, BC V7M 1B1
(604) 984-3636
Categories:
Accessories,
Women's Clothing,
Used, Vintage & Consignment
Neighbourhood: Lower Lonsdale
Carrying a mix of old and new clothing, Colette's is an ever-changing shopping experience. It's located on a relatively quiet block in Lower Lonsdale, but I'm always drawn in by the cute clothes on the sales rack outside when they're open. Even when…More »

(604) 988-9688
Categories:

15. L'Occitane en Provence
Vancouver, BC V6Z 1X6
(604) 688-1198
Category:
Cosmetics & Beauty Supply
Neighbourhood: Downtown
This French-based company certainly has opened a pretty little store in Vancouver. When I walked in, the place smelled amazing, and I was greeted with a friendly "How are you?" by the staff. Their lavender, verbena, and shea butter lines, seem like…More »
16. Lush Handmade Cosmetics
Vancouver, BC V6E 4A9
(604) 687-5874
Category:
Cosmetics & Beauty Supply
Neighbourhood: West End
Like other reviewers, I find the smell of Lush pretty overwhelming. When you're walking down the street and you can sniff the air and know that Lush is near - that's a mighty scent they're pumping out. Like the KFC of soaps, you might say. Sometimes…More »
17. Tiffany & Company
I love expensive stores where the staff are actually nice to you. While aimlessly wandering about in the Vancouver Tiffany store and gazing in wild wonder at all the shiny things, one of the salesmen in the diamond section engaged me in conversation…More »
18. Revel Room
Vancouver, BC V6B 2K8
(604) 687-4088
Categories:
Canadian (New),
Lounges
Neighbourhoods: Downtown, Gastown
The Revel Room has it all: good looks, good food and drinks, and good service. And fresh warm cookies at the end of the night. With melty chocolate. And to really kick us out the door with a stumble in our step - a thank-you round of tart-n-fruity…More »
19. Boneta Restaurant
Vancouver, BC V6B 1A5
(604) 684-1844
As Jill G. said, Boneta is study in contrasts: a beautiful fine dining restaurant situated where people are huddled and probably starving literally outside the doors. Don't be shocked, tourists - that's just how this transitional neighbourhood is.
I…More »
20. Narrow Lounge
Just being able to find this place makes me feel all cool and in on something. You walk in the door, wondering if you're in the right place, and there's this, yes, narrow room with a great big bar running down it.
There's a definite sense of…More »
21. Whineo's - CLOSED
Vancouver, BC V6Z 1L4
(604) 669-9463
I'm happy to see a certain trend in bars and nightspots - cool, lounge-y places for people who wanna go out, and see and be seen, but not go clubbing. That is, deal with bouncers and coat checkers with attitude, have my ID scanned (yeah, right), and…More »
22. Waldorf Hotel
Vancouver, BC V5L 1S4
(604) 253-7141
Categories:
Hotels,
Nightlife,
Venues & Event Spaces
Neighbourhood: Grandview-Woodlands
I was recently lucky enough to attend an event held in the fabulous Tiki Room in the Waldorf Hotel. This has got to be the best room in the city to throw a swank party. They've got a restored ceiling painted blue and studded with twinkly lights,…More »

Star for a day (6)Wake up in the morning, where the hell's my coffee, gee I gotta check out Yelp ... and when I look around I see that today's ROTD is me! Wait! Now people are complimentin', my day's a little brighter and I thank you, Yelp. |
Date Night (18)"What's the point in going out? We're just going to end up back here again." Keeping monogamy from monotony, one shared appetizer at a time. |
Bright Lights, Royal City (50)Places to go and things to do in New Westminster, BC. It's a weird place but it kinds of grows on you after awhile. |
One on the town (23)Lunching with my inner Earl Camembert. |
30 days later (14)The Yelp Challenge is on! Go Vancouver! |
Mountains, Water, Trees (10)My favourite places around Vancouver to run and play and tralala the day away. |
Irraishaimase! (17)Japan doesn't feel so far away when I'm at these spots for sushi and a whole lot more. |
Good times and great drinks (7)Pisstanking and pounding back watered-down cocktails and urine-fodder beer is for amateurs. These are the places to go for great cocktails, wine and beer, grown-up style. |
It's all about the dog (10)No sense in denying my life tends to revolve around a large and energetic dog. Here's where we go to tend to her every need... and some places to avoid. |
Bad tables in nice restaurants (4)I made reservations. So why am I sitting next to the kitchen or bathroom? |
