A homegrown store, you’re promised a tasty treat seated in a warm, welcoming environment."

"A post shared by Rain or Shine Ice Cream (@rainorshineyvr) on Jun 19, 2018 at 5:36pm PDT. Hit up this shop to try out a variety of tantalizing flavours. They have Malted Milk Chocolate, Blueberry Balsamic, Honey Lavender, Cracked Mint and London Fog."

"Definitely one of the most popular places to get ice cream in the city. Seriously, the lines at their location in Kits are downright nutty. But, they make a mean pint, have ice cream taco Tuesdays, and their milkshakes are incredible."

"Their ice cream is a little smoother than the offerings from rain or shine and approaches a gelato-like consistency. Still ice cream though, and always worth the wait."

"It doesn’t matter which Earnest location you go to, you’ll be waiting in line but it’s worth it. Try their London Fog or Serious Chocolate ice cream."

"From one space in Chinatown to an international company, Virtuous Pie is a must-know name not just for vegan fare, but for pizza in general. Opting for a delicious thin crust as the base, Virtuous Pie has a wide variety of options, ranging from classic marinara all the way to truffle touches and Buffalo cauliflower on top. The pies are super reasonably priced too, which means more cash in your pocket for their garlic knots or some mac and cheese on the side."

"The Sunny Side Breakfast Sandwich (Photo courtesy Virtuous Pies). Virtuous Pie already has one seriously popular plant-based pizzeria in Chinatown, and they are opening another one on the UBC campus in winter 2017. This spot offers a killer selection of pizzas along with an unreal vegetarian brunch."

"My second favourite restaurant from my time in Vancouver was surprisingly a vegan pizzeria, and I use the term surprising because I wasn’t quite convinced prior to my visit that pizza could actually exist without cheese."

"Award-winning, old-world style gelato that may rock your ice cream world. Bella Gelateria excels at handcrafted, small batch gelato-making that results in a smoothly delicious gelato that comes in myriad flavors. Favorites include chocolate-amarena cherry, tahitian vanilla, and exotics like akbar mashti and black sesame."

"Soft Peaks has been a summer icon in Gastown with their twisted soft-serve, made from handcrafted organic milk ice cream cones. Like the taste of real ice cream you used to have as a kid, but with toppings of any adult, like TimTam flakes or tiramisu. Our Pick | North Pole Breakfast"

"An organic spot that technically serves ice milk instead of ice cream. It’s less sweet but don’t worry, they make up for it with their incredible toppings. Think of it as the best and weirdest bowl of cereal you’ve ever had."

"The dairy queen first started its establishment in 1938 in Illinois; it was a father and son partnership which they contacted one of their friends and customers to introduce their new dessert, which was a soft frozen dairy product, and in the trial sale, it made a great success with selling more than 1500. after that and the time of world war 2, the franchise started expanding that after the war, there were 100 dairy queen stores, and it grew to more than 1440 stores in 1950 and is still expanding and has become one of the largest franchises all around the world; the dairy queen is the place for any kind of people from kids sports teams to families and business people who want to have a great food an lunch. Dairy queen serves different kinds of meals such as chicken strips and burgers and snacks; it also has an item called treats, which are signature made drinks and desserts and cone ice creams and sundaes; they also have shakes and smoothies, which are also a signature of the restaurant."

"In the quiet neighbourhood of Lower Lonsdale’s Sam Walker Park, there’s a dreamy place for handcrafted, artisanal ice cream: Welcome Parlour. Belonging to the Hodson Block, a two-storey heritage building dating back to 1912, this charming dessert shop is run by Ian Widgery, a former United Kingdom-based record producer. He partnered with Cadeaux Bakery pastry chef Eleanor Chow Waterfall to create a signature lineup of creamy, old-fashioned scoops for Welcome; from organic blueberry to apple pie to dairy-free lime coconut, each flavour is distinct and special in its own way."

"A post shared by Welcome Parlour Ice Cream (@welcomeparlour) on Jul 11, 2018 at 6:49pm PDT. Welcome Parlour Ice Cream is serving up classic flavours in homemade waffle cones that will be a regular stop on your summer adventures. Their ice cream is all-natural and all-delicious too."

This spot has a variety of vanilla, chocolate, and fruit-based gelato, so there is sure to be a flavour for everyone."

"Passion, goodness, and spoonfuls of fun,” that’s how co-owner Ian Bruce and co. defines their ice cream shop. We think it’s spot on. From the signage to the oldschool-newschool-esque booths inside to the whimsical colours that embody EVERYTHING, Umaluma is a whole lot of fun."

"Hot Cha Café is a great bubble tea shop offering an impressive selection of bubble teas. Prices here are pocket-friendly compared to other bubble tea shops in Vancouver. The service is efficient and friendly and you can get an explanation of items on the menu if you are having a hard time choosing a flavor of bubble tea."

"These guys get the nod for having the weirdest concept by far. Why associate ice cream with sexual deviance?. Beats us, but at least it’s fun for a laugh now and again."

"A post shared by CANDY/ICE CREAM/DESSERTS (@yumsweetshop) on Jun 15, 2020 at 12:26pm PDT. Yum Sweet Shop is basically the doorway to heaven. They don’t just offer candy, as they’ve also got soft serve and regular ice cream."

Their Prime Grade steaks are selected from the top 1% of beef on the market and is always aged a minimum of 28 days before being grilled exactly how you like it, served alongside the most decadent sides.

One peek inside—go on, check it out, even if it’s only for a quick cocktail and an order of the incredible cheese toast during happy hour—and you’ll be transported back in time. If you're staying for a special-occasion dinner order the 28-day aged beef, cooked perfectly to order, plus all the classic steakhouse sides (wedge salad, creamed spinach)."

"Inspired by the timeless cuisine of Hy’s, the new ‘Hy’s at Home’ menu offers guests a range of Prime Canadian beef and seafood entrees, delicious sides and accompaniments, and decadent desserts. The upscale take-out service"

"Noisy, boisterous, and high-energy, Coast is arguably the hippest of the best Vancouver seafood restaurants.

"Photo of Yamato Sushi by Raul Pachego-Vega on flickr creative commons https://flic.kr/p/9rL2a7. We are lucky here in Vancouver to have access to sushi that is both really fresh and reasonably priced. At Yamato, all box specials are under $9 and you can share a party tray with your friends with 34 pieces of sushi for $21.95."

"A post shared by Mark (@demarkoist) on Apr 14, 2016 at 12:47am PDT. Yamato Sushi hits a rare medium of enjoying quality sushi without having to dish out a pretty penny on your rolls. Their box specials also look to be a solid bargain, giving you a little bit of everything for just $9."

"Facing English Bay, Kits Beach is one of Vancouver's favorite summertime hangouts. The wide, sandy expanse attracts Frisbee tossers and volleyball players, and those who just like to preen while catching the rays. The ocean is fine for a dip, though serious swimmers should consider the heated Kitsilano Pool, one of the world's largest outdoor saltwater pools."

"Known to locals as Kits or Kits Beach, Kitsilano Beach is where you will find a lot of residents in the summertime. There’s ample park space around the beach for picnics, plus volleyball nets and Kitsilano Pool. The 137m (450ft) outdoor pool is Vancouver’s only saltwater swimming pool, open from mid-May to mid-September."

"Kitsilano Beach is one of Vancouver's favorite summertime hangouts. The wide, sandy expanse attracts buff Frisbee tossers, giggling volleyball players and those who just like to preen while catching the rays. The ocean is fine for a dip."

"Lined with logs for the sun spectators, this is the place to reflect on the day and take a few photos of some of the most vibrant sunsets you’ll probably ever see in your life. Sunset Beach Park is also home to an interesting art piece called Engagement, a 30 foot sculpture of two wedding rings. These were created by world famous artist Dennis Oppenheim, as part of the Vancouver Biennale."

"Sunset Beach is a popular destination, especially in the summer, but the green space behind the beach is equally as popular with locals looking for a place to play a game of soccer, meet friends and soak up the sunshine. Grab a drink from the concession stand and spread out on the grass - on a very hot day you might see someone bringing a slip N slide for everyone to slide down the hill."

"Sunset Beach Park does not put its name to shame, and the stunning sunsets you’ll see here while chatting with a friend over a few bites or brews will be worth the wait. View this post on Instagram. A post shared by Kritsada Akkhapracha (@fedexfc)"
