Vancouver ain't so bad
See All Lists
1. Granville Island Public Market
Vancouver, BC V6H 3S3
Canada
(604) 666-6477
Categories:
Grocery,
Fruits & Veggies
Neighborhood: Granville Island/False Creek
Beautiful, fresh, awesome assortment, lots of food porn and fab for those food photographers. It will make you want to eat everything in sight. This is true if you're coming from the states because there are fruits that are illegal in the states that…More »
2. Lynn Canyon Suspension Bridge
North Vancouver, BC V7J 3G3
Canada
(604) 990-3755
A secret locale that jogging residents with their dogs all seemed to know about. It was slightly confusing to find because GPS couldn't locate it. But once we got on the right road, we followed the tiny signs.
The suspension bridge is shaky, but if…More »
3. Granville Island
Vancouver, BC V6H 3R9
Canada
(604) 685-8335
Category:
Parks
Neighborhood: Granville Island/False Creek
Awesome market filled with fresh produce, chocolate shops, fancy bagel shops, and a fab food court. Get the salmon burger with salad. It was the best thing I tasted all week.
Walking around the island was quick and simple since there isn't much to do…More »
4. Japa Dog
Vancouver, BC V6Z 2K6
Canada
Categories:
Hot Dogs,
Food Stands,
Japanese
Neighborhood: Downtown
Seriously addicting gourmet hot dogs. This place has changed my meager opinion of what typical dogs tasted. The Okonomi with bonito flakes was so yummy. The mayonnaise sauce was interesting and added a nice element to the juicy meat. I made my hot…More »
5. Madangcoul Korean Restaurant
Came here for lunch with a large group of about 8. It was slightly empty, but the waitress did pretty well with taking orders and bringing the drinks. I got my seafood soup with long udon-like noodles that was delicious. I asked for a substitution…More »
6. Kadoya Japanese Restaurant
Vancouver, BC V6E 1M5
Canada
(604) 608-1115
Categories:
Japanese,
Sushi Bars
Neighborhood: West End
The menu is enormous! It makes the choosing kinda maddening. The actual pricing of the sushi rolls are adequate. However, I lose a bit of respect for an establishment that serves things like maple syrup bacon rolls with complete seriousness.
7. Stanley Park
Vancouver, BC V6J 5L1
Canada
(604) 873-7000
Category:
Parks
Neighborhood: Coal Harbour
If it is a nice day, rent a bike! It is very large and may take over 2 hours to walk the completely around to the viewing area of the bridge going to North Vancouver. We drove and parked and walked around a bit. The forest is so enchanting. Take in…More »
8. Queen Elizabeth Park
Firstly, they are very serious about paying the parking meter. Don't even think about skipping it or leaving it for later.
The view isn't that spectacular or high up. There is a nice Japanese-like garden. Be careful because the steps are steep and one…More »
9. Kitsilano Beach
I suppose that this would be an interesting experience walking with your loved one and your dog. However I don't recommend going with a group of people because there isn't much you can do as a group. There is an outdoor pool, but Vancouver weather is…More »
10. Davie Mongolian B.B.Q
The chef at the front was very nice and didn't mind that I was coming up so often. I really enjoyed the noodles and vegetable options. The sauces were awesome and really allowed you to be creative with the mix and matching. Definitely try the…More »
11. A & W Restaurants
North Vancouver, BC V7J 3H2
Canada
(604) 984-1226
Category:
Fast Food
Neighborhood: Lynn Valley
I stopped by for a very quick meal and was surprised to find some nice pizza. There are menu options and about 4-5 different pizza options. The downside is the decor. It was really gloomy and the seating area is tiny and uncomfortable.
12. Lynn Valley Centre
North Vancouver, BC V7J 3H2
Canada
Category:
Shopping Centres
Neighborhood: Lynn Valley
This tiny strip mall has a mix of mix-match stores and restaurants. I merely ate some pizza and walked through the supermarket. It is simple enough to get what you need and get going. It is especially nice to have the library right there so that you…More »
13. Terminal City Club
Vancouver, BC V6C 1B6
Canada
(604) 681-4121
Categories:
Hotels,
Venues & Event Spaces
Neighborhood: Downtown
I spent a gorgeous evening here for a wedding. The lobby is really welcoming and leads you naturally to the banquet hall. The decor is elegant and neutral. The staff were excellent. Filling my beverage and clearing my plates were properly timed and…More »
14. Safeway
Vancouver, BC V6G 1E2
Canada
(604) 683-6155
Categories:
Delis,
Sandwiches,
Florists
Neighborhood: West End
It was great to have a convenient supermarket so close to a residential area and close to my hostel. Getting drinks and snacks here was very easy and made my vaca a tiny bit smoother. There is $5 parking in the evening for those who can't find a…More »
15. Buchan Hotel
This is what you would expect to find in Europe. This would be a typical hostel where your room is found along a long hallway whereas the shared private bathrooms and baths are found somewhere else along that hallway. At least we got a sink in the…More »
16. North Vancouver District Public Library
North Vancouver, BC V7J 1S1
Canada
(604) 984-0286
Category:
Libraries
Neighborhood: Lynn Valley
The librarians were so helpful as I was an out-of-towner and didn't have a library card. She lend me a screen name and pass code to log in and use the internet.
