Let's be honest. I couldn't afford to stay here if I wasn't here with work. No way. That being said, here are 5 reasons that if it were legal, I would marry this hotel:

1- I mention that I have to get somewhere in 5 minutes, which turns out to be a 15…More »

I walked past Meat & Bread in my search for Nuba... and I'm so glad I did. Although I had never heard of it, something about the line up and the name (meat and bread are some of my favourite things along with ice cream and wine of course!)  just…More »

The Fairmont Waterfront is not as nice as the Fairmont Pacific Rim, that being said, in my limited hotel travels, the Pacific Rim was the best hotel I've ever staying in, so the competition was stiff. Still great service. And, let's be honest, a…More »

Two people from different circles both recommended Toshi to me for my most recent trip to Vancouver. That alone made it worthwhile for me to check it out.

The line up was long, and I hate waiting in lines, but it was worth it for nights where the…More »

Great hole in the wall sushi place. Not much space to eat in (and what space there is is always full) but great fresh sushi at a really reasonable price. I ordered the spicy scallop roll, avocado roll, and their salmon and tuna sashimi. Can't beat it…More »

Guu was very guud. I went the day after opening, and fearing a line, showed up at 5:30pm. There was no line at all. Perfect. Yes, it's loud, but that is what you expect, right? It's loud in a fun way.

The sashimi salad was excellent (as it was when I…More »

A fantastic meal.

Traveling for work, I was eating alone, but they allowed me my choice of seats. I choose to sit in between two couples who were on dates. (I forgot to bring a book/newspaper, so I needed entertainment.)

I ordered the scallops with…More »

I went here for breakfast twice in a week, but I was staying in a hotel up the street, so that's more a comment on its location than it's quality.

I enjoy that they have a fresh fruit bar. I enjoy that they served food to go. That was about all I…More »

Meh. I've experienced better. My chai latte was more expensive than Starbucks, which is fine, I'm willing to pay a little more for a better experience, but that being said, this wasn't. My latte was not hot, and not very yummy. Plus I had to pay…More »

The best restaurant ever? No. But they will pack you up a meal to go in good time, which is great now that no one will feed you on airplanes anymore. Last time I was flying out of YVR I ordered the breakfast at Milestones and brought it on the plane…More »

I'm very torn how to rate this. I went to watch the soccer game/the Stanley cup playoffs. They were showing both. Score. Arrived about 5pm, it wasn't busy. Ordered a sandwich and a cider. The BLAT (bacon, lettuce, avocado, tomato) was decent. Not…More »
