1. Lynn Canyon Suspension Bridge
North Vancouver, BC V7J 3G3
(604) 990-3755
If I meet any tourist who is planning on going to Capilano Suspension Bridge (CSB) , I just get this immediate urge to persuade them to come to Lynn Valley Suspension (LVS) instead and save their $30 or whatever it cost these days to cross the…More »
2. Bubble World Robson
Mmmmm blueberry slush with pearls...
I love this place, but it's second best (in terms of bubble tea) for me compared to Pearl Drops in Burnaby. The biggest thing I dislike about this place is that they use coffee mate powder instead of milk.…More »

I love walking through and sampling random things and buynig cool ingredients. I usually buy pasta from Duso's here when I go since they have such interesting shapes and such. I also love looking at the beautiful flowers they have.

Vancouver, BC V6H 3R7
(604) 685-0504
Category:
Breweries
Neighbourhood: Granville Island/False Creek
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!
On a more serious note, if you're lucky enough to catch…More »
5. BC Ferries
I love the ferries! Especially the modern, up to date ones. I like that there are shops on board that don't sell junk only! I bought my favorite pair of funky silver earrings from there. And the view outside is amazing.
On the other hand, the food…More »

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 »

Bakeries

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 »

Category:
Colleges & Universities
Neighbourhood: Granville Island/False Creek
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 »

Category:
Fast Food
Neighbourhoods: Downtown, Granville Entertainment District
I'm still a fan, but this last time I went, it seemed their fries were quite/overly crispy and much less potato-y in the inside. I like more meat on my taters.

This is definitely the best poutine I ever had. The cheese gets perfectly melty with the fries! And… Read more »
10. Summer Night Market

This has to be as good as it gets in Vancouver because this is the only place I know that you can find a huge variety of Asian street food at such low prices! I think I spent in…More »

12. Alibi Room
Went back again for the wings! I brought my best friend visiting from France here and her and her bf were really impressed--with the wings and the beer/wine. We tried a sour cherry ale, peach ale, and the dark chocolate porter. I was amazed at how…More »

13. Blue Chip Cookies
Vancouver, BC V6T 2A5
(604) 822-6999
I have to deduct a star because the coffee is not so great.. I had a latte this afternoon and the espresso tastes like cigarettes. :-(
However, their cookies and muffins are still great! And the chocolate cupcakes are awesome too.

Categories:

Good place to go when you want to stop somewhere for a quick pint, or pitcher. Prices of pitchers are fairly reasonable. Food is standard fare, nothing too impressive. Be sure to ask them what their seasonal brew is because last time she didn't tell…More »
15. Maxim's Bakery
I love how cheap this place is, and how good the baked goods are! 3 for $1.10 coconut buns? Who can resist? The BBQ pork buns aren't too bad either. I've had a few things at other chinese bakeries and they never satisfy me as does Maxim.
Tip: Go for…More »

I came here for dinner with a bunch of co-workers, one of whom was Caribbean and she said this place was quite good for Vancouver.
The ambience of this place was quite fun and social. It wasn't too upscale or anything, but it wasn't too kitschy. The…More »
18. Toyotomi - CLOSED
I've been going to Toyotomi now for more than 3 years! They're great! Okay, I will admit, it's not the best sushi I've had (see my review for Oysi Oysi), but their food is of very good quality, sushi is always fresh, and the service is excellent.…More »
19. Oysi Oysi Restaurant
I still really like this place, but I think their california rolls would be better if they had cucumber in them. So in actuality, I'd like to give them 4.5 stars. I'm glad I had the chance to go here again! They also make great dynamite rolls! And…More »

This place was so fun! As Natalie C. mentioned they shout out the orders to the chefs to start cooking. We got to sit right at the bar and watch the chefs cook everything as they shout everything! It was so much fun and amazing watching them cook and…More »
21. Mt Seymour
I finally went snowshoeing and it was a lot of fun. Our guide, Kristen, was very knowledgeable about the woods and explaining the history of it. The area is quite beautiful. They do group rates if you have 10 or more people, or you can do a drop…More »

It gets 4 stars only when it's not crowded... which is usually only on weekdays either earlier in the morning or quite late before closing. And definitely not during the holidays.
It gets 4 stars for sort of being a one-stop shop. You can get your…More »

I stopped in to pick up some picnic food--a variety of salami and cheeses with bread. Took them to Alice Lake in Squamish for a picnic lunch and it was definitely some of the best picnic food ever. SO delicious!

Definitely a Vancouver gem! It is less crowded than other Vancouver gems like Granville Island. And they have a lot more fresh seafood available as you can guy it right off the boats. Sometimes, they even have festivals going on with local products…More »

Exciting on a clear day, and pretty much the only place in Vancouver a tourist can legitimately go for a view of the city and the mountains. Unless, of course, he's staying at the Shangri-La or the Sheraton Wall Center on the higher floors (or…More »

Ditto to what Simon K. said. This is a symbol of a time in Vancouver when it was the liveliest, friendliest, and proudest. It's nice to see it and remember those times. :)
31. Cypress Mountain
This review is for the snow tubing and sledding area only. We came here on my sister's last weekend in Vancouver to have some fun with our little cousins and play in the snow. I've been snowtubing at Mt. Seymour (see: http://www.yelp.com/bi...) and…More »
