(604) 261-4484
Category:
Bakeries
Neighbourhoods: Dunbar-Southlands, Arbutus Ridge
My childhood bakery, this place is as delightful as it's moniker. A real community hub (even for it's limited space), even the most adamant Atkin's fan would be unable to resist the freshly baked bread wafting out the doors and drawing in Mackenzie…More »

4. Willow Stream Spa
Vancouver, BC V6C
(604) 695-5550
I got to witness the behind the scenes building of this spa and even when it wasn't finished, I knew it would be my new go-to spa. 15,000 square feet of serene luxury, perched on the 5th floor of the beautiful new Fairmont Pacific Rim hotel. The…More »

Upon graduating from my pediatrician at Children's I spent many years looking for a suitable GP. A friend of my mum's referred the Seymour Medical clinic and I have been there ever since. It has been revamped to be an airy, open space with…More »

Local Flavour

This is one of my newer discoveries in the city of my birth. I hadn't even known the Cafe was there until last year and now it is my go-to place to dine downtown.

8. Corduroy
Vancouver, BC V6J
(604) 733-0162
Categories:
Canadian (Traditional),
Pubs,
Pizza
Neighbourhood: Kitsilano
Nestled quietly on Cornwall Street is a newish little hole in the wall. Unless you are alert or actively seeking it out you will miss it as it is a narrow little, unobtrusive space.
One of my new favourite places in Kits with absolutely zero pretence…More »
9. Palladio
Vancouver, BC V6C 3N9
(604) 685-3885
Don't let the double security doors keep you away from this cornucopia of beautiful things. I'd long held a misconception that only the richest of the rich should bother coming here but I kept hearing good things and finally checked it out for…More »
10. Burrito Bros
This little gem is tucked away in Kitsilano, off the main strip. Fully licensed and featuring a local's night every Thursday as well as specials every day, this is a delicious and authentic Mexican spot with everything a Mexi fan could ever want. As…More »
11. Lee's Donuts of Granville Island
Vancouver, BC V6H 3R9
(604) 685-4021
Category:
Doughnuts
Neighbourhood: Granville Island/False Creek
Though the days of being able to eat 12 donuts in a weekend and not burst open my pants, I still enjoy a little bit of Lee's every once in a while. When people try and tell me about Timbits etc, I tell them to go to Lee's and experience a real donut.…More »
12. The Galley Patio & Grill
Vancouver, BC V6R 4L9
(604) 222-1331

Canadian (Traditional)

This is the best patio in Vancouver. There are other, fancier patios but if you are looking for unparalleled views, a frosty pint and some wholesome, satisfying food, this is the place to be. The kitchen has undergone extensive renovations from the…More »
13. Stong's Markets
Vancouver, BC V6S 2G6
(604) 266-1401
As a child I used to loathe coming here with my mother as she'd invariably run into 14 people she knew and have the dreaded "stop and chat". Now as a semi adult, I cherish this. Stongs is an independently owned and run grocer, a huge contributor to…More »
