It was just ok. I found it to be overpriced. We got the special crepes since they have alcohol in them and figured it would be a real treat. However, they were way pricier and we couldn't taste any difference from the regular ones that our friends…More »

After reading the reviews I was really excited to give Rangoli a try. I was really underwhelmed. It's not that it was bad, it just was lacking. There wasn't a lot of flavor and I just found my meal to be rather dismally uninteresting. However, they…More »

What a fantastic aquarium! There was so much to see! This is one of the best I have ever been to (including Monterey Bay and New England Aquariums). I love the jellies exhibit. It was so magical and beautiful - just like something from Avatar. They…More »

This is such a huge place that it's hard to believe it is one big park. We went there initially for the aquarium (which is amazing) but fell in love with the trees, the water and the good vibes. The totem poles are a little cheezy and overly…More »

I just took the Vancouver to Victoria and back twice this weekend and was super impressed. I am used to taking the Washington State Ferries, which are ok, but nothing compared to the BC Ferries. They are super clean, fast and the check in and wait…More »

This place is OK. I don't think the deals are that great for the most part, but it is convenient if you have forgotten to grab a quick little something before crossing the border. On the whole the rates are pretty inflated, so it makes up for…More »

I am so impressed. I don't mean to ding the whole country of Canada, but I have never had a good meal in all my travels there. Things changed at the Bard and Banker. They make amazing mashed potatoes and a gorgeous salad with blue cheese, greens and…More »

Tim Hortons is a must if you are coming up from the States!

This is a pretty average Tim Hortons location. This review is more for my fellow Americans who may not have experienced the Tim Hortons. I think there must be crack in the coffee. It is basic…More »

I have stayed here twice now and both times were awesome. I love the charm of the Empress but the rooms are much nicer, roomier and more elegant at the Delta. They have a nice happy hour and the views are gorgeous. I also love that you can take the…More »

The Royal B.C. is a great museum. I love the First Peoples Gallery and they have lots of good temporary exhibits. We went up for the Titanic exhibit a couple of years ago and fully enjoyed it. The museum has a lot of variety and is nice and close to…More »

I was initially thinking that once I had gone to tea at the Empress, I could cross that off my bucket list. I was so wrong. Now I am craving more tea and the egg salad croissants. Heck, I am not even an egg person and I am craving. The tea room is…More »

This is definitely a must see if you are in the area. I have been twice now and for photography geeks like myself it is amazing. So much beautiful scenery and so many kinds of flowers to snap away at. My favorite parts are the Japanese garden and the…More »

This place has extremely mediocre food. The best I can say is it went down my throat. The salad had basically no dressing and the curry pasta had no flavor. My friend got a martini that was really mystery alcohol with an olive in it and her chicken…More »

Beyond freaking cool! I so wish this place were in Seattle. The store is beautiful and has a great selection of dyes and textile supplies as well as yarns. My friend and I each got a handstamping set with Indian woodblocks, dyes and a plain scarf for…More »

OK, so here's the deal. If you want to stay at this hotel, you have to know you are in party central. I knew this coming in to it and chose to stay in the heart of Granville Street. We were there to party and wanted a place to crash, so it was just…More »

Granville Island Public Market is really pretty cool, especially since part of the sign turns it in to the Pubic Market...makes you wonder what happens there at night. It is a bit like Pike Place in Seattle, but less jammed with people and a little…More »

This is definitely one of the better places I have eaten in Vancouver. We stumbled in here for breakfast/lunch on a whim since it was close by and we were hungry. The prices were reasonable and the place had good service and nice chill decor. I don't…More »

The Empress is an icon - stunning, historic and in the middle of everything. I have wanted to stay there since I was a little girl and I finally got the chance this summer. I am kind of on the fence about the whole thing.

The main public spaces are…More »
