This is by far one of the best westcoast seafood restaurants in the city. An amazing patio on a nice day, to eat oysters and sip white wine.
Their legendary Lobster Oil and Balsamic vinegar is unreal (you have to ask for it ;) ) and can actually buy some to take home if you really like it.
You can't go wrong with basically anything on this menu, but the fish is always a great choice.

When it comes to Sushi, Vancouver is definitely one of the best cities for it.
This restaurant is on the pricier side, but well worth it. Their sushi rolls, Sake, and Japanese tapas are next level.

One of the best French restaurants in the city. Jean Francoise is a bit of a legend and continues to produce classic and delicious french cuisine.
For dinner this will need a reservation, and will be quite fancy.
Brunch is the way to go. They have a Top 3 Brunch in the city, and is first come first served policy. I will be busy by 11:30am so get there before then (even if you have to sit at the bar).
Things to try:
- The crabcake benny
- The Croque Monsuir
- Antipasti
- Ceasars (Canadian Bloody Mary's) - They have a bunch of different ones.

Parks & Nature
Sunset Beach
Beach AveSunsets! Sunsets.
Stanley Park is the epicenter of downtown activity. We have a SEAWALL that runs around the entire perimiter of downtown Vancouver and around the park.
This is great for renting a bike and spending the day riding around enjoying the sights, stopping off at one of the beaches for a tan and a swim or catching a Movie in the Park on your way home.
It's bustling with activity and things to do. DEFinitely enjoy it.
