Lower Lonsdale

A whole lot more than just Lonsdale Quay.

1. SeaBus

601 W Cordova St
Vancouver, BC V6B 1G1
(604) 953-3333

Category: Public Transportation

Neighbourhood: Downtown

8/25/2008 First to Review

Vancouverites love to complain about the transit system - with the exception of the SeaBus. When I lived in North Vancouver and worked downtown, I took this little ferry almost every day. It's a peaceful 15-minute ride from Waterfront Station to…More »

Categories: Shopping Centres, Farmers Market

Neighbourhood: Lower Lonsdale

I used to live near the Quay too, and I miss everything about it except for the hordes of wandering tourists impeding my serious dinner-ingredient gathering. Oh well... it really does have everything one needs: a great spice shop, produce stalls,…More »

North Vancouver, BC V7M 2E4
(604) 904-0933

Category: Canadian (Traditional)

Neighbourhood: Lower Lonsdale

9/9/2010

Burgoo seems pretty much incapable of serving a bad meal. I've now had the pleasure of sampling several items off their menu and it's all been delicious, filling and satisfying. Let me count the ways: butter chicken, tagine, Kentucky burgoo (which is…More »

Category: Specialty Food

Neighbourhood: Lower Lonsdale

11/21/2008

I miss you, friendly Pepper Pot lady. You used to sell me lemongrass and kaffir lime leaves for Thai curry, you taught me that all coconut milk is not created equal, and you stopped me from a potential disaster involving substituting Indian curry…More »

Neighbourhood: Lower Lonsdale

Update - 8/28/2010

I hate having to update my review negatively, but this place has seriously gone .... overboard? The cute, fishermen-like boys are gone. The new staff of old ladies clearly can't manage a lineup. When I tried to get a bowl of cioppino, they had no…More »

Let's say you went to Dublin. Let's say you went to the Guinness Brewery. Let's say you had breakfast, but spend three hours winding your way through the museum, until you reach the bar on the top floor. Let's say you drank your free pint of Guinness…More »

Saje's line of aromatherapy products is fantastic. They've got essential oils for scenting the house, awesome natural lip balms, and cool natural remedies for everything from colds and pain relief to anxiety and snoring. For example, someone once…More »

I was so glad to see that one of the very few places to buy authentic Mexican foods and munch on plates of tostadas, taquiles, and quesadillas has moved out of a tiny stall and into prime corner real estate at Lonsdale Quay Market.

What is this place? It's a tiny store on the upper floor of Lonsdale Quay, it's been there forever, and it sells greeting cards, Cuban cigars, pens, watches, and those bizarre thermometer things with the floating bulbs inside. The product mix is…More »

While not a must-see, Waterfront Park is a nice park to visit if you happen to be in Lower Lonsdale. Most people will probably reach it by walking west from the bus loop and SeaBus Terminal at Lonsdale Quay, and taking the path between the two…More »

Yet another 5-pin of undeterminate vintage. It's a tough one to find if you don't know it - tucked into the edge of a mini-mall near the corner of Third and Chesterfield. It's a small place with fewer than 20 lanes, and they close waaay too early in…More »

This gallery, located upstairs in the Presentation House Arts Centre, is one of the best places in Vancouver to see both contemporary and historical photography exhibits. It's definitely worth checking out if you're in the Lower Lonsdale area, and is…More »

Quite possibly the cutest neighbourhood coffee shop ever. It's tiny - just a sliver of a space next door to a bike store, but they have the high ceilings and use those walls to maximum advantage to show paintings and drawings by local artists. There…More »

There are two really good little bakeries with a block of each other on Lower Lonsdale - but Sweet Art is my favourite. I love how when I try to walk past it, the smell of fresh pastry follows me, like the smoky fingers in an old cartoon, crooking…More »

Recently updated lists from Christine R.

Surrey. Yes, Surrey. (13) Finds in the much-maligned big city.	Vacation in Washington State (18) I love a local vacation. Washington is so close to BC, yet has cheaper shopping and better customer service overall, plus the same fabulous West Coast scenery.
Shopping for food (21) I love to cook, so food shopping is my favourite type of shopping, from big grocery stores for the everyday stuff to specialty shops for Wow factor ingredients. I like it local too.	Adventures with Groupon (8) The end results of getting tempted by online deals and social coupons.
Store pets (6) Visits with cats and dogs who live in retail land. Only by shopping the indies can you have these encounters, by the way!	Diners (14) All you need is fries... and grease ... and bacon.
Can't talk, eating (3) The multi-tasking reviews ... food so good, I just gotta write about it now.	Two sticks and a ball (4) Dealers in needles and yarn for my knitting habit. What did you think I was talking about?
Playing House (5) In which I try to grow up and stop living like a student.	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.
