Some of the best coffee in the city, with a revolving selection of roasters sourced from around the world (mainly Canada, USA and Europe). Knowledgeable baristas can be a little snooty, but the space is fantastic and the coffee is even better.

I don't know how many dozens of beers this place has on tap (50+). Great rotating beer lists, loads of locals to try, and very good food mixed with friendly service. The renovated former salt building is a great adaptive reuse of an iconic architectural building in an area that's largely been de-industrialized. This is a good place for kids, too.

Good wine in the same building as Postmark Brewing, so everyone can get something they love. Unless you love not drinking wine or beer.

Incredible Italian (best Cacio e Pepe we've had since leaving Italy). A good wine list. Be prepared to wait, but there are lots of bars and restaurants around if you want a warm up.

I don't know what they do to their rice, but it's amazing. A good place for cheap eats. Tables available, but not high dining.

Parks & Nature

Biking or walking the seawall is a great way to take in one of the most beautiful parts of Vancouver. The cycling trail runs the entire perimeter of the city, from East of Downtown, all the way around Stanley Park, through False Creek, Granville Island, out past Kitsilano and Point Grey

Take a walk down ~400 steps to Wreck Beach and join the fun (naked?). Parking can be a challenge, so I suggest taking the bus. Google Wreck Beach to best find the trailhead (AirBnB isn't finding it properly). Hiking along the beaches here is a lot of fun.

Entertainment & Activities

Whistler is a world-class, year round wonderland of skiing, mountain biking, hiking, snowshoeing, shopping, dining and and and. Take a stunning drive, bus, or bike (I've done it!) along the Sea to Sky Highway.
