1. Bangtown Hair Saloon
Vancouver, BC V6B 1T5
(604) 682-7775
Categories:
Hair Salons,
Barbers
Neighbourhood: Downtown
I went in with a big mop of unruly brown hair and came out with sleek, smooth shapely brown locks. Basically the haircut was fantastic. On top of that the atmosphere is really chill.
I went in, sat down, put my feet up and read some magazines while I…More »
2. Harrison Hot Springs
I will admit I have never been lucky enough to stay at the Harrison Hot Springs resort and spa. However, over the last few years I have repeatedly eaten at two of the hotel's restaurants. As the Lakeside Cafe opens nice and early at 7am this is a…More »
3. Mission Springs Brewing Company
This is a great place to bring the family or go watch the game and drink beers with the gang. You may ask how is it possible to mix these two groups? Well half of this massive building is a restaurant and the other side a pub. Just remember on a…More »
4. The Noodle Box
Vancouver, BC V6B 2W2
(604) 734-1316
Category:
Asian Fusion
Neighbourhoods: Downtown, Yaletown
I remember going to the first Noodle Box when they had a street cart in Victoria. Wow things sure have changed over the years. There are now five locations in Victoria and two locations in Vancouver. The one on Homer is conveniently only a few blocks…More »
5. Kitami Japanese Restaurant
I think this business has its strengths and weaknesses. For strengths I would say the rolls that we ordered (California & spicy tuna) were both above average. I loved the Japanese pickles and I suspect they may be home made.The staff were very…More »
6. Old Settler Pub
I have been coming up to Harrison Hot Springs to work for years now. I wish I had known about this place earlier. Of all the restaurants I have tried here the Old Settler Pub has the most buying power for your dollar. Not that it is cheap, but they…More »
7. Executive Hotel
I have stayed here for work a few times as the rate they give us is within our budget compared to the other options available in resort town of Harrison Hot Springs. That said, I would never pay to stay here on a vacation. The building and decor is…More »
8. 7-Eleven Food Stores
Vancouver, BC V6B 1C3
(604) 669-7394
Categories:
Grocery,
Convenience Stores
Neighbourhoods: Downtown, Yaletown
7-Eleven is a chain with so many locations and with such late hours it truly lives up to the name convenience store. The Smithe location is set close to two stadiums, at the off ramp of a busy bridge and in an area with a mix of both residential and…More »
9. Bouma Meats
This is a great shop in a great town. The staff are very friendly. The meats are very fresh and the cuts are lean. They also sell a lot of local fish, meats and pies. The prices are very reasonable for the quality of product that they sell.
10. Ono Trading Company Canada Ltd
Ono has a great selection of work, safety and outdoor gear. Most of what they carry is really reasonably priced. They also have some fairly obscure work gear that you would normally have to hunt all over town for. The staff are really knowledgeable…More »
11. Mediterranean Specialty Foods
Vancouver, BC V5N
(604) 438-4033
Category:
Ethnic Food
Neighbourhoods: Grandview-Woodlands, The Drive
This is a fantastic specialty food shop and deli. It features a lot of Greek and Turkish items that I just have never seen anywhere else in the city. They have well priced choice selections of cheeses, olives, olive oils, flat breads, Turkish delight…More »
12. Shanghai Chinese Bistro
Shanghai Chinese Bistro has closed its door. So sad.

13. Chez Meme Baguette Bistro
Burnaby, BC V5C 2H9
(604) 299-1141
Category:
French
Neighbourhood: Burnaby Heights
I went here recently and brought a friend. I was really disappointed with the painfully slow service. We were in a rush and it took just over an hour and a half for breakfast. I think the owners should seriously consider hiring one more person to…More »

14. Japa Dog
Vancouver, BC V6B 2B7
(604) 809-4333
I sometimes stop and grab a Japa dog from the cart before a movie. Well if the line up isn't ridiculously long I do. As far as street food goes it is worth the coin. My favorites are the Okonomi featuring bonito flakes and the Terimayo with dried…More »
15. SkyTrain
Old train, moderately old train, new train, nice people, smelly people, impolite people, loud people. Not much changes on the train day to day. It is reliable and efficient. It gets me to where I want to be without delay. Well except for those once…More »
16. Jules French Bistro
Vancouver, BC V6B 2K8
(604) 669-0033
Category:
French
Neighbourhoods: Downtown, Gastown
I Love the decor as it always puts me in the mood to converse and eat a big rich meal. Then again any restaurant with a chandelier and a gracious host forces me to enjoy myself. Jules also has a great kitchen and bar.
17. Prado Café
Vancouver, BC V5N 4A7
(604) 255-5537
Category:
Coffee & Tea
Neighbourhoods: Grandview-Woodlands, The Drive
Prado Cafe is located in a heritage building with high ceilings and huge windows. The decor is simple, modern and clean. I don't drink coffee as it doesn't agree with me, but I go here with a coffee aficionado whose cup always has a thick crema on…More »
18. Granville Island Tea Company
Vancouver, BC V6H 3R9
(604) 683-7491
Category:
Coffee & Tea
Neighbourhood: Granville Island/False Creek
Fall is here and along with it a recommendation that will warm you up from the inside out.
Granville Island Tea Company sells both piping hot cups of tea and loose leaves so you can brew some up at home. I have been going here for a number of years…More »
19. The Postcard Place
Vancouver, BC V6H 3S2
(604) 684-6909
Category:
Cards & Stationery
Neighbourhood: Granville Island/False Creek
This shop has some beautifully designed paper products. They mostly carry post cards, but they also have address books, note books, magnets, cards, and other tasteful gift items.
I come here to buy post card books as they are fairly affordable. I then…More »
20. Santa Barbara Market
Vancouver, BC V5L 3X6
(604) 253-1941
Categories:
Fruits & Veggies,
Delis
Neighbourhoods: Grandview-Woodlands, The Drive
I used to live a couple blocks away from this shop when I was in my twenties. At this time in my life I was struggling to make my pennies stretch all the way to my next pay day. Shopping at Santa Barbara ensured that I actually had something to eat.…More »
21. Macandale's
Port Hardy, BC V0N 2P0
(250) 949-8442
Categories:
Nurseries & Gardening,
Furniture Stores
Macandale's saved me last year when I was sent to work in Port Hardy for one week and ended up there for four. The seasons were changing from Fall to winter and I just didn't bring enough warm water proof clothing. Macandale's fortunately stocks some…More »
22. Russell Farms Market
Russell Farms Market has been around for years. I remember as a teenager being able to stop and pick berries at the surrounding fields in the summer. I'm not sure if you can do this anymore, but it is still worth checking out.
Now a days I just stop…More »
23. Shoprite Logging Marine & Outdoor Sports
This business is focussed on serving the needs of the community it is located in. The store is really big and has a lot of stock on the shelves. They carry mostly marine and other outdoor sporting and work gear. So whether your are a tourist,…More »
24. Black Bear Resort
These lodgings were only built a few years ago and still have that 'new car' smell and feel. The suite I rented was roomy and clean. All of the furnisings were made of solid pine and most importantly the bed was comfy.
The resort is set up so that…More »
25. Bygone Books
This is one of my favourite book stores on the island. The shop itself is located in a beautiful historic building in downtown Nanaimo. When you walk in there are stacks and stacks of shelved books all neatly arranged. Most books are priced fairly…More »
26. Cowichan Valley Meat Market Ltd
I walked in here and couldn't believe the huge selection of meats. The product all looks really fresh, the store is very clean, and the staff are all extremely helpful and knowledgeable. The prices all were fairly reasonable as they are selling by…More »
27. Old Farm Market
This market has a really great selection of fresh produce. The barn style building makes one feel like they are purchasing groceries right from the farmer without the dirt or fertilizer odours. There is a nice little deli in the back if required.…More »
28. Mon Petit Choux
When I walked into Mon Petit Choux it reminded me of cafe's I have eaten at in France. The small marble top tables, the colours and of course the smells. My first thought was, will the quality be the same as the old country? To my surprise it is. The…More »
29. Pacific Coastal Airlines
I have flown with Pacific Coastal Airlines on their Vancouver to Port Hardy route a few times now. I really like the fact that you can show up at either the Vancouver south terminal airport or Port Hardy airport to check in and load in under an hour,…More »
30. Rags & Dishes
I like going here. As a clearance outlet they offer an abundance of pattern options at a really good price mark. Therefore, every time I go I end up spending a lot more time than one would expect picking through the beautiful tea towel patterns and…More »
31. Red Rooster Tempo Gas Bar
I stop for gas here all of the time. My reasoning is because they consistently have the cheapest full service gas prices on the stretch of Highway between Duncan and Nanaimo. Plus the family that runs the business are hard working good people.
32. Trafiq Cafe & Bakery
Vancouver, BC V5V 3R1
(604) 648-2244
A friend and I wandered in here looking for a hot beverage and small snack. We were smitten as kittens drinking a bowl of milk with what we were served. I ordered a hot cup of tea and we shared a slice of chunky monkey cake. The cake was moist and…More »
33. Richmond Taxi & Loral Cabs
I woke up way too early this morning to catch a plane bound for Richmond's south terminal airport. Here I was greeted by a line of bright red taxi cabs. I went up to the first car with my heavy burden and the driver was already standing at the back…More »
34. Biltmore Cabaret
Vancouver, BC V5T 3J7
(604) 676-0541
Category:
Music Venues
Neighbourhood: Mount Pleasant
I enjoy going to concerts at most venues, but not the Biltmore. Every time I hear of a band I like coming to town and then see they are playing there I let out a long sigh as if to resign myself to having to be in that space. Knowing if they played…More »
