Hands down the best croissants in the CITY. Freshly baked a couple times a day, there is a good chance you'll get them WARM. Solid cup o' Americano too.
They don't take resos and the small restaurant fills up quickly, so if you can't be here by 4:30 (for 5 PM open) aim for 6:30 to catch the second wave of seatings.
A donut that you can feel the weight of in your hand. Can't go wrong here.
If you're lucky enough to come when they have bone marrow, get the bone marrow! I'm not a bone marrow kind of gal but this was by far the best course.
Great place to grab a cocktail, look for the red light over a door and just walk in.
If you're in West Van, you need to buy a whole pie. Doesn't matter which one, just buy a whole pie and share family, friends, and strangers.
2 UBC Sauder grads started this little gem - innovative, fresh, and DAMN DELICIOUS donuts.
Best for brunch, but expect a line. "The best place to start your diet, the best place to end your diet" - Everything from egg-white omelettes to chocolate milkshakes.
Best way to enjoy Abigail's is to order a couple starters amongst friends and a bottle of wine to share. Intimate on the inside, good people watching on the outside.. a great start to any night.
Head upstairs for an unbelievable atmosphere and cocktail menu...seriously, AMAZING drinks. Food isn't veggie friendly and more for nibbling.
Amazing cocktails, chill vibe. Easy to pub hop from here to the Diamond, Guilt & Co, or the new Portside.
Vanilla cream puff - a classic, and easy to overlook with all the fusion flavours. An underrated gem!
The Polenta Fries are the most pleasant surprise your mouth has invariably experienced in the last while.
Famous for "Najib's special", it's must for any order. To take the edge off a long day order the Grapefruit Gimlet
Minimalist in nature, busy by reputation. Buy a growler, use as decoration when it's not occupied with beer.
If you're getting the waffles (which you should), go with the chocolate lavender or white chocolate pistachio rosewater toppings. Or both.
All treats are gluten free, though you wouldn't be able to tell by how delicious they are. Solid coffee.
This sleek spot is raising Gastown's game. Try the confit of Albacore tuna with smoky pork morsels and velvety crab custard in "brioche" with chick pea toast and Mostaccioli pasta with mozzarella. Leggi tutto.
Craft ice cream! Rain or shine refers to the conditions in which a line-up forms outside.
Porchetta sandwhiches, communal tables, and wooden slabs in place of plates. What's not to love?
Owned by Vancouver entrepreneurial legend, Mark Brand. Unique in that they hire members of the DTES for part-time work.
Old-school diner vibes, famous for their PIES. Open til 9 most days, cute spot for a late afternoon date.
High tea with your girlfriends is the perfect cap after a floral day @ Van Dusen Gardens.
Big comfy seat at the front feels so right eating London Fog ice cream on a cold foggy day.
Yes, it's a chain, but Cactus Club is notorious for snagging the best view points in the city.
Delicious, simple, European style meals. The epitome of Vancouver hipster cafe.
A must-hit place for tourists and a favourite for locals, there's a lot to see and eat here.
Best vegetarian restaurant in town! Many vegan and gluten-free options. Every plate is a work of art.
From the owners of La Taqueria, a slightly fancier version, same great tacos. The Gin Basil Smash is the most pleasantly surprising cocktail I've had in a while!
