This is fancy sushi that everyone in the city loves. If you like sushi everywhere in Vancouver has great sushi, but this one is especially nice if you want to spend some $$!

If you find yourself on Davie St, there is no shortage of great food. But one of my favs is Tom's sushi! Really well priced and a cool dining experience! Vancouver also has so much great sushi this was hard to pick just one. Anything with over 4 stars on Yelp is also a great way to pick a spot!

My fav (but expensive) cocktail bar. They also have snacks. Around $20 a drink but very worth it for a few fancy cocktails!

This is a bar/arcade and has become super popular this year. It has some food as well. Line can start around 10pm as it's become popular. More of a nightclub scene in the weekend evenings.

Love this place, it feels like a secret spot. It has food and drinks! Depending on the season they also have the Keefer Yard which is more casual, has a small pit and put. 9/10 times I would say make a reservation for here!

Coffee Shops/Places to work
LOVE this place. Across the street it has awesome coffee and quick foods - sandwiches, soups. Great place to work as well if you want to hold up in a coffee shop. I also find prices here are the most reasonable in the area!

This is a great spot to get stunning views of the north shore mountains and on the walk to Stanley Park! You'll also see the olympic torches. If you have the time take the stairs beside Cactus club up (free, public entry) and you'll get an incredible view point.

Granville island is a beautiful little spot just outside of the city. Its home to Granville Island Brewing - one of my fav bar companies - and some great seafood. The market itself has fresh produce, meats, and great gifts. Either take a taxi/uber/lyft across or take the sea ferry which comes often! Not suggested to drive here are parking can be a bit of a disaster!

I add this with some cautious that this is a super touristy spot, but if you're coming from an area where old growth trees are sparse this might be worth it! In the winter they have lights on the trees, so if you go, try and go where you'll be there for evening. They have free shuttle service from downtown.
