I wasn't sure that we really needed *another* Shoppers here, as there is another on on Cambie and 16th. However, this one is quite large with friendly staff and lots of variety.

I've been here many times, but most recently to see Tinker Taylor Soldier Spy and was really disappointed with the picture quality.

Throughout the whole movie, the subtitles were sort of washed out, like they had slipped down the screen and generally the images weren't sharp at all.

At first I thought I had smudges on my glasses, but nope, that wasn't it. Then I thought it was blurry to create a 1970s look-and-feel.... but, maybe the projectionist left the 3D lens on? Not sure.

I tried to find someone to complain to after the film, but there wasn't enough staff to ask. Not sure if this would be my first choice for a movie next time. I would probably go to Philip's Place in the future!

This little gem is very vegetarian friendly and has the most amazing baked goods and sandwiches. We got sandwiches for lunch and bought some sweet goodies to take on the road, like a brownie, almond tart, donut, etc. I think they lasted like 30 minutes.

Good late night place to grab a beer. Not the most amazing selection, but hey, they are open way later than anyone else in this part of town.

I came here with some friends and really enjoyed my dish (bi bim bop or the hot pot). If you're vegetarian and order the vegetable hot pot, make sure you tell your server that you don't want any meat in it! Very tasty, good value for money, and full of Koreans. Can't wait to go back!

Spinnakers Gastro Brewpub & Guesthouses

Of course, one comes to Spinnaker's for the beer. The pub side does not disappoint. The gastro side, on the other hand, is a bit weak.

My SO is a pizza snob, which is to say that this dude knows his pizza. He ordered the margherita, which had meh crust and scant toppings. Definitely won't be ordering that again. If you're vegetarian, the linguine is pretty good. I do think though that Spinnakers could do with stepping up the menu a bit, though.

We came here thanks to the great reviews on Yelp, but weren't impressed.

Portage Bay Cafe is totally overrated. Local and organic food? How about try frozen and canned fruit with my pancakes!

My carnivore brunch companion said that his bacon was gross, too, which is a statement never heard before and not likely to be heard again.

My SO and I stayed here for a last minute weekender. As this building is mostly timeshare/condos, the facilities were amazing!! A large pool and hot tub, roof gardens, amazing rooms with balconies, gas fire places, full kitchens and in-suite laundry, and living rooms! It felt like I was staying in a condo. We wanted to stay another night, but had to get back to Vancouver. Next time.... next time...

Really fantastic and authentic Mexican food. You can tell that the salsa is fresh and made with love. The corn tortillas are made to perfection on a hotplate. Very vegetarian friendly, and you can even get dishes with "nopalitos"! Delicious!

Although I wouldn't mind if the post office was open earlier in the day, it's nice that it's open later. The people who work here are super friendly and helpful, especially if you have stuff to ship and you're not sure what size box or envelope to get!
