1. Society Dining Lounge
Vancouver, BC V6B 6K3
(604) 629-8800
Categories:
Diners,
Canadian (New)
Neighbourhoods: Downtown, Yaletown
Lunchtime, Dine Out Vancouver Menu, company of a good girlfriend and a seat on the patio. From the outside everything looked wonderful however, i can't help but humming Kate Perry's, Hot 'n Cold http://www.youtube.com... as I write my tale:

2. Boneta Restaurant
Vancouver, BC V6B 1A5
(604) 684-1844
Be warned - you will be smiling and bopping in your chair during your whole Boneta experience.
To start the evening, I surprised myself in choosing "The Vancouver" martini. Nothing in it sounded like what I would want in a drink, but I love my town…More »
3. The Sandbar Seafood Restaurant
Vancouver, BC V6H 3R9
(604) 669-9030
Categories:
Seafood,
Sushi Bars
Neighbourhood: Granville Island/False Creek
Had I been writing about other Sandbar experiences, I would've been griping about the fact they don't have debit...but they do have credit...and a handy ATM machine that they own. But I'm not...I'm writing about the amazing time I had there last…More »
4. Vancouver Special
I can't say I'd ever spend a few hundred dollars on an alarm clock, or have the need for a paper house making kit, but I like to know I have the option.
If you're one of those impossible people to buy gifts for, your loved ones might want to have a…More »

Cosmetics & Beauty Supply,
Day Spas,
Eyelash Service
Neighbourhoods: Downtown, Gastown
**Girlie review alert**
My lashes are saying thank you - thank you - thank you! My peepers couldn't feel prettier after my first trip to Wink today! With over 80 different styles of semi perm. lashes and a comfortable lash-tastic area - I feel like a…More »
6. r.tl
Vancouver, BC V6B
(604) 638-1550
Categories:
Canadian (New),
Seafood
Neighbourhoods: Downtown, Yaletown
A very quiet Saturday night inside r.tl. Could have been the Canucks playoff game, or the fact that the drinks were on the pricy. Luckily, it looked like they were made with love!
Where else would I be so brave as to order a caesar made with beef…More »
7. River Rock Casino Resort
The curved escalator was just about as good as this casino gets! No, I'm being too harsh. When a good name is in town, the theatre is a good venue, not amazing, but solid. And now you can bring drinks in so no more chugging them down outside!
What…More »
8. Voya - CLOSED
Wax Poetic in the Twentieth Century. No this is not the name of a song or film, these are two outstanding cocktails at Voya. Cozy, dark and comfy, this place could easily be a new neighbourhood haunt for me... if I lived within walking distance.…More »
9. The Corner Suite Bistro De Luxe - CLOSED
Vancouver, BC V6E 1W2
(604) 569-3415
Category:
French
Neighbourhoods: West End, Downtown
Step inside this enchanted neighbourhood bistro with aqua (leather?) chairs in a Queen Anne (maybe?) style set a whimsical tone. You might be thinking this review will be all about the dinner and drinks, but no, that's next time; this was all about…More »
10. M Smart Design - CLOSED
West Vancouver, BC V7T 2Z3
(778) 280-3610
Category:
Furniture Stores
Neighbourhoods: Downtown, Strathcona
I have been carefully saving up for a big purchase because I fell in love at M Smart Design. The object of my desire? A natural latex mattress, breathable and sealed in organic merino wool. I know dreamy isn't it? (really, it's because I'm paranoid…More »
11. The Diamond
Vancouver, BC V6A 1E7
Categories:
Canadian (New),
Lounges
Neighbourhoods: Downtown, Gastown
And then just when I thought they couldn't outdo themselves, I pop one of The Diamond's stuffed baby squids in my mouth. Stuffed with peanut pesto, I now know to save some room in my liquid filled tummy for yummy late night treats!
Gourmet snacks FTW!More »

(416) 977-3888
Categories:
Men's Clothing,
Home Staging
Neighbourhoods: Entertainment District, Queen Street West, Downtown Core
Okay, so I haven't been inside Show Room for over 2 years - the last time I entered I walked out with the most fabulously expensive BROWN denim jeans that still give me compliments from strangers! Still, every time I put them on, I feel like a…More »
13. Brunch à la Galerie - CLOSED
Vancouver, BC V6J 1L6
(604) 737-2363
Category:
Breakfast & Brunch
Neighbourhood: Fairview Slopes
What? Us, only one of two tables here on a beautiful Sat morning? Alright, I'll drink a beautifully large americano to that and chase it with a perfectly accompanied Benny, no problem.
Sunlight streaming through the windows, paintings lining the…More »
14. Salt Tasting Room
Vancouver, BC V6B 1A4
(604) 633-1912
Categories:
Wine Bars,
Tapas/Small Plates
Neighbourhoods: Downtown, Gastown
Oh how the salt shaker beacon calms my Blood Alley fears. And cheeses and meats nourish both my soul and my tummy. And if I could speak to my flights of wine, I would tell them that I love them and all of the ways they make my taste buds come alive.…More »
15. Foundlings
Real. Patent. Leather. Wallets. In. Bright. Colours. Made. For. Real. Life. But. Not. For. Real. Budgets. [insert hyperventilating here]
You vixen of a perfect wallet. Lots of pockets, places for up to 12 credit cards, magnetic snap close, lined in a…More »
16. Goorin Bros.
Vancouver, BC V6B 2S2
(604) 683-1895
Categories:
Accessories,
Men's Clothing,
Women's Clothing
Neighbourhoods: Downtown, Yaletown
Perhaps if I told you that my prized possession was a Schiaparelli hat box from the early 1940's (in my imagination, it once held the famous Dali shoe hat), or that I have bags and drawers full of hats and scarves you would understand my love for…More »
17. Gravity Pope Shoes
Shoe-a-holics be warned. You're leaving with at least one new pair of kicks. The only shoe store in town to have never disappointed me - in terms of selection and service (and the right size!).
From designer Marc by Marc Jacobs to staple brands like…More »
18. L'Altro Buca - CLOSED
Finally! I get the craving for Italian so I can take L'Altro Buca for a test drive! And, whoa - I'm full!
This is one of those places where the food makes up for everything else that lacks (read atmosphere). My advanced apologies for the slowish and…More »
19. Mink - A Chocolate Café
Vancouver, BC V6C 3N9
(604) 633-2451
Categories:
Chocolatiers and Shops,
Coffee & Tea
Neighbourhood: Downtown
For a choco-holic, this is my paradise. Great vibe as soon as you walk in and smell the warm ganache. They give you a choice between milk or dark chocolate for your mocha and use the ganache to prepare it - no syrup here. The clover coffee machine…More »
20. Sweet Obsession Cakes & Pastries
If I admitted just how many times I have been here, or just how many of their delectable desserts I have drooled over before taking a bite --you may think I'm an addict.
The St. Honore, mango cheesecake and everything chocolate in between - there…More »
