Food Scene

We love food in this city. The very vibrant restaurant scene ensures that no matter where you go, you will indulge your tummy and your palate with tasty, exceptional food. The only question is: what can your budget handle?
Open 24 hours a day, Breka is my favourite bakery in Vancouver. Open 24/7 for all of your coffee, donut and sandwich desires. Breka is our go-to spot for bread as well. We buy day-old bread for around $2.00-$2.50. Our favourites are Sovital and Bauernbrot. On a typical day we'll stop in for an Americano or a Mocha with an apple fritter (which are our tried and true staples). The apple fritters are huge and more than enough to share. My only qualm with the apple fritters is that I wish there were more apples actually inside.

For those of us still indulging in wheat, this is a great place to grab specialty bakery products done right. The scones are moist and flavourful.

Vancouver's first vegetarian restaurant is open 24 hours! Live music & local art for sale. Try the Oaxaca Quesadilla, Dragon Bowl or Zippy Noodles. Naam soups are incredible on a rainy day along with their homemade bread & veggie butter! There is often a line up during busy times so it is best to plan ahead.

The best ice cream! Fresh made on site, classic & seasonal flavours made with local, organic ingredients. Vegan options available like Kiwi Sorbet and Coconut Chocolate Chunk. Prepare to line up in the Summer. Sit outside & meet new friends or old. Don't miss Taco Tuesdays: two scoops in a made-on-the-spot waffle 'taco', topped with whipped cream - add a delicious & unique topping like toffee brittle or buckwheat honey - wow!

Drinks & Nightlife

Who said that we are a no fun town? We work hard and we play harder. Most of our play is outside during the day, but when the sun goes down, these are the places you will want to head to.
Good selection of craft beer. Lots of screens to watch the game. Not your typical pub fare. Try the duck sandwich. The staff is always willing to do what it takes to satisfy their customers.

Sightseeing

Against the stunning natural backdrop, there is lots to see and do in Vancouver. It is the only city where you can ski and sail in the same day (start skiing in the morning at Whistler and finish the day sailing the waters of English Bay or Burrard Inlet). Truly memorable!
