This restaurant is considered one of the best in Vancouver - a fusion of Chinese and French. They don't take reservations, but no problems as you can see their front door from the terrace, so you'll know when they are busy. The plates are meant to be shared. Note the photos on the wall, are the owner's family historical photos. Enjoy!

This is Bao Bei's secret younger sister. Step back in time when you step up into it. This restaurant is sure to spin your head as you'll lose site of what era you're in. And the food is amazing!

Fried Chicken right at the door step!
If you're a vegetarian like me, try their fries and kale salad at the Take-Out Counter. Or, pull up a table and their Mac and Cheese is a delicious warm hug for your tummy.

A local favourite. This beach much less of the gym loving devotees featured at Kits Beach. If your sans kids, definitely hit the right side. This beach is more isolated and takes longer to get to. Be sure to go on a full stomach or bring some tasty treats with you.

Arts & Culture
An ode to the art of British Columbia, tucked up next to Whistler Village in a stunning Patkau-designed building this gorgeous museum opened in 2016. Funded by the well-known and respected local philanthropist Michael Audain. MA, his affectionate endearment by his employees, is a huge art lover and thankfully we all get to benefit from his enourmous generosity of sharing.
His current project is saving the Grizzly Bears!

They are an independent, local business created out of passion, enthusiasm and a belief that floating, as a practice, can help the majority of people who decide to lie down in a float tank. The float tank (isolation tank or sensory deprivation tank) is an amazingly simple yet powerful tool that can enhance ones overall living experience. Whether you use it for personal development, physiological benefits, psychological benefits or a combination of sorts, we believe it has the ability to deeply aid and impact anyone who sets forth into the warm, cozy, silky blackness. Perfect for a rainy day!
