Vancouver on the Cheap
See All Lists
1. Summer Night Market
SO MUCH GOOD FOOD!!!! That's all that's good at the night market and that's all you need. Although it gives a more Asian feel, you don't REALLY need those cheap fake products right? So go straight for the red-tented booths and spend your money on…More »
2. Tim Hortons
Richmond, BC V6X 1S3
Canada
(604) 207-2438
Categories:
Doughnuts,
Cafes,
Coffee & Tea
I LOVE TIM HORTONS! It was our absolute favorite breakfast place (we went every morning) on our Vancouver trip. Especially the Honey Cruller Timbits. That in itself is worth the 5 stars. Tim Horton's is way better than any donut shop in the USA with…More »
3. Kibune Sushi
Vancouver, BC V6K
Canada
(604) 731-4482
Categories:
Japanese,
Sushi Bars
Neighbourhood: Kitsilano
Very small restaurant but a hidden gem near Kitsilano Beach. Long waits for seating, but delicious food that is well presented! See pictures!
4. Red Star Seafood Restaurant
Richmond, BC V6X 3X9
Canada
(604) 270-3003
Pretty good food all around! I came here with a large party and was impressed by how busy and clean this restaurant is. They also use scantrons for ordering! I think that is freaking cool. We ordered a LOT of food and like 5 desserts...everything was…More »
5. Pearl Castle Café
Richmond, BC V6X 3Z9
Canada
(604) 270-3939
Categories:
Coffee & Tea,
Chinese,
Cafes
Neighbourhood: Golden Village
How can you not give 5 stars to a place that calls its drinks "Blue Baby," "White Lover," "Little Lover," "Passionate Love," "Adam's Dream"...etc??
Imagine telling the waitress, "Hi, I'd like to order a Little Lover please?"
Actually, my experience was…More »
6. Guu
Vancouver, BC V6E 1W2
Canada
(604) 685-8817
Categories:
Japanese,
Tapas Bars
Neighbourhoods: West End, Downtown
Oops I accidentally reviewed the wrong Guu...didn't know there were so many! So this one on Thurlow is the actual one I went to, and here is the review:
Great Japanese izakaya place. Maybe a little hard to find at first, but it was worth it! We…More »
7. Cafe Crepe
Vancouver, BC V6Z 1E4
Canada
(604) 806-0834
Categories:
Creperies,
Breakfast & Brunch
Neighbourhood: Downtown
I think this is the one I went to...I didn't know there were so many! It's a little street-side establishment and you can either just go up to the window and order or go inside and sit down. It causes a pedestrian traffic jam on the sidewalk with its…More »
8. Science World
Vancouver, BC V6A 3Z7
Canada
(604) 443-7443
Category:
Amusement Parks
Neighbourhood: Granville Island/False Creek
Fun place even for a big kid like me! ;D Three floors of hands on interactive exhibits. I liked the Shadow room...the optical illusion stuff...the music stuff...I think this place could rival the Exploratorium in San Francisco. There was also a…More »
9. Stanley Park
Vancouver, BC V6J 5L1
Canada
(604) 873-7000
Category:
Parks
Neighbourhood: Coal Harbour
I think this is the best and most elaborate park I've ever been to. Definitely the best of the west coast! You need several hours for this place...or at least multiple trips. The highlight of my visit to Stanley Park was the trolley ride, which…More »
10. Lynn Canyon Suspension Bridge
North Vancouver, BC V7J 3G3
Canada
(604) 990-3755
Like another Yelper, 5 stars because it's free. Capilano is not. It was still a high suspension bridge and was fun to go across. There's a couple trails after you cross the bridge. My friends and I took the Twin Falls Footbridge trail. It was a VERY…More »
11. Queen Elizabeth Park
Beautiful gardens in this park, with a cool looking observatory at the top and fountains. But I thought that being the highest point in Vancouver, you'd be able to SEE Vancouver. You can barely see anything. That was a little disappointing, but the…More »
12. Park & Tilford Shops & Gardens
North Vancouver, BC V7J 3S8
Canada
(604) 984-8200
Categories:
Shopping Centres,
Botanical Gardens
Upon first glance, the gardens may not seem like much. In fact, it was very difficult to find. We went to where my GPS told me to go, and all I saw was a shopping center. It wasn't until we circled around the entire block and were about to go in and…More »
13. Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Chinese Garden
Vancouver, BC V6B 5K2
Canada
(604) 662-3207
Category:
Botanical Gardens
Neighbourhood: Chinatown
I went to the Sun Yat Sen PARK, not the Classical Chinese Garden, which is connected but requires an admission fee. The Park is free, but obviously not as beautiful and doesn't have any programs. It was still pretty nice and had a pretty pavilion for…More »
14. Kitsilano Beach
I think I'm spoiled by San Diego, Orange County, and Monterey/Carmel/Half Moon Bay beaches. How can you expect to find a beach like that in the north? So I won't be too harsh on Kitsilano Beach, but don't expect an awesome beach here if you're from…More »
