The service and accommodations are just wonderful here! We lucked out and got a higher floor (19 to be exact), which afforded us a harbour view. Really quite spectacular. I'll echo a previous reviewer's comment on the "wonderful curved wall of…More »

My husband and I stayed in a hotel just around the corner from this cafe. We noticed loads and loads of people lining up (or should I say queueing up) to order...even saw Vancouver Fire and Rescue park their fire truck on a busy street to visit this…More »

I love urban parks. I feel they are an oasis in the middle of the hustle and bustle. This park was one of the best urban parks I've visited. The flowers (hydrangea bushes!), trees, views of the skyline and mountains, the amazing walking…More »

The Moules Frites were to die for here. Local Vancouver Musseles with tomatoes, leek, Merridale cider and the most delicious french fries ever. We sat by a window and enjoyed the people watching also. Great local beers and wines. Service was friendly…More »

Oh Roots. I was obsessed with you in my college years. Well I was obsessed with many things Canadian during that time! I had only seen a smattering of Roots apparel in person, so visiting the store in Vancouver was just awesome. The clothing is very…More »

It's probably a good thing that I did not read the reviews or anything about this place before we dined here as I may not have given it a try. The Hooters of Canada is not the highest recommendation. However I'm glad we stopped here for lunch after a…More »

Full disclosure-I did not have coffee here. But I did have some delicious hot chocolate made with real dark chocolate. It was heavenly and a drinkable dessert/pick me up from a long day of walking around Vancouver.

The first thing you notice about Saltlik is the soaring ceilings, dark woods and multilevel dining.  From the time we entered, the service was fantastic as well. The menu had just enough variety without being too much. Food and cocktails were…More »

This place was my least favorite of the places we tried in Vancouver. The ham and cheddar scone was very good, but otherwise it was a somewhat forgettable place. We were able to witness everyone else heading across the street and lining up for coffee…More »
