Love it! A little taste of Italy. All gelato's hand made in the mornings, ingredients are local (ie. fruits are from interior BC). Have some while enjoying Coal Harbour's waterfront.

A Vancouver sensation. Apparently a must try according to the lonely planet - especially if you like street meat? Get hot dogs with a delicious Japanese twist.

Possibly the best Indian you'll ever have. BUT - no reservations. Go a few hours in advance to drop your name, leave, then return and wait in the patio (yummy free appy's!).

Arts & Culture

For your bike rental needs. Biking around the seawall is one of my favourite things - especially around sunset time. Bike out to Stanley Park or Granville Island.
