Food Scene

Some of the best tacos in the city. Tacofino is a very short drive or about a 20 minute walk from the apartment. Highly recommend the fish tacos, but they are all delicious and inexpensive. A popular local hangout. Get there early (between 5-6 PM for quick seating).

Local favourite pizza joint. Intimate space, good service, true Napolitana pizzas. About 15 minutes walk from our apartment. Go early (between 5-6 PM for guaranteed seating), otherwise expect a wait. Very popular, though I think some of the other pizzerias on The Drive serve better tasting pizzas (think Lombardo’s or Marcello’s) with less of a hassle to get in.

Best sushi in Vancouver, I think, and just minutes away from the apartment. Amazing creations, both beautiful to the eye and delicious. Expect to wait if you get there during peak dining hours. Super popular. I recommend going early, 5:00-5:30, or late, 8:00 pm, to avoid a long lineup. If you go, you must try the Salmon Oshi. Stunning and addictive.

Recently taken over by new owners, the food is fantastic here now and this restaurant provides the best patio on the Drive. Great for lounging in the sunshine and people watching. Very hip, casual hangout. Highly recommend the Grapefruit Margaritas and the Beef Tacos. Enjoy!

If you are too late to get into Via Tevere, another good option is this pizza place just towards The Drive from Via Tevere. Very good pizzas and homemade pasta dishes. Large dining room, so can be a bit boisterous, but good food.

A real favourite for us and for our guests. Bodega has delicious food, a relaxed yet wonderful vibe and excellent service yet it won't break the bank. We go often and our guests love it too. It is a very popular spot though so please go early (5/5:30 PM) to be able to get a seat. They take reservations but are often booked three weeks in advance. Worth a shot though! Try the braised short ribs, the meatballs and churros for dessert. What's not to love?

Fantastic Thai food. Clean, fresh, great tasting cuisine. Be forewarned that the spice level is Thai hot, so I can only manage mild, but my family still takes medium. Try the fried chicken appetizer (amazing!) or the eggplant stir fry or the red duck curry as your main. Excellent! Sticky rice with mango is a yummy way to end your meal. Highly recommend.

Voted one of the best restaurants in Canada, this is a family style restaurant with excellent Italian inspired food. But think more than pasta. They have amazing salads, mains, meats. The food would make any foodie happy. Hard to get in, so make your reservations before you come to the city, if possible. Well worth it.

This place is all about the location. Situated right in Granville Island, right on the water, it’s hard to think of a better spot to sit and enjoy lunch or a drink than this patio. Watch the sailboats drift by, seagulls and eagles fly overhead and, if you are lucky, some sea otters or seals bobbing in the water. The restaurant itself is nothing special but it doesn’t get much better than this patio.

This is the cheapest breakfast in Vancouver and some of my guests love it. I don’t, so I can’t say I recommend it, but thought I should include it as so many guests ask me about it!

Stunning building with extremely high ceilings that houses a restaurant, a brewery and a wines from their vineyard. Great place to go for brunch on the weekend. The avocado toast is the best you have ever eaten. Choose smoked salmon, eggs, bacon or burrata to go with it. You won’t regret it! It’s about a 40 minute walk along a greenway or a short drive from our apartment. Great way to while away a weekend morning.

One of the best things about the city is it’s endless, public, ocean walkways, the Seawall walks. They are at every point of the city, be it by Stanley Park, the Olympic Village, Granville Island, or Waterfront Station, to name but a few of them. You can walk these walkways for hours to get various views of the city, the North Shore mountains, and the ocean. Stop along the way at one of the many bars, cafes and restaurants to catch your breath before you keep going! Bike re take are also plentiful if you want to use the bike paths that run along the seawalls.

One of Vancouver’s many ocean beaches, this one is wonderful for low tide walking. You can walk out for what feels like forever, seeing bald headed eagles fly above while seeing incredible city views in the distance. A good Oceanside concession stand available on dry days that sells good coffee, ice cream, burgers etc. This beach is harder to get to via transit (though doable) but easily accessible by car.
