Top things to do in the San Juan Islands
"Soft Peaks opened a Burnaby location in 2019, and now it’s time for Richmond to get a taste of its signature offerings. The Richmond outpost will be located at the McArthurGlen Designer Outlet’s food hall, the Food Folk Eatery. Address: McArthurGlen Designer Outlet — 1000-7899 Templeton Station Road, Richmond (in the Food Folk Eatery)"
"This one’s a small space, but, hey, it’s an island without the crowds you’d find on Granville Island. Watch the boat traffic navigate the Fraser River, forage on wild blackberries when in season and stroll the path just north of the park where you might encounter horses or, at the very least, um,...evidence of them. A good alternative for the similar views is the dog-friendly Fraser River Park."
"Located just south of Vancouver, Iona Beach Regional Park is the home of one of the most romantic walks in Vancouver. Iona Jetty is a 4-kilometre long jetty that juts out into the Straight of Georgia, right into the Pacific Ocean. The walk is flat and you can often see wildlife and interesting sea creatures."
"For a hyped up bakehouse, you're probably thinking I'm crazy for ranking this croissant so low. Truth is, this is a good almond croissant, but it's for someone who wants the least amount of sugar in a croissant. Now I'm all for keeping sugar intake in check, but I'm of the mindset that when I'm digging into an almond croissant, I'm in for a sweet experience."

Since 1985, Pajo’s has been frying up locally caught cod, salmon, and halibut fish to a beautiful golden brown and pairing it with thick-cut chips. The fish and chips are served in a nostalgic newspaper cone that makes the classic pairing both easy and fun to eat."
"A post shared by Pajo’s (@pajos_fishchips) on Dec 10, 2018 at 10:45am PST. Known all over the Lower Mainland (and beyond) for their fish and chips, Pajo’s is a must-try place on this list. If you can’t make your way out to the Richmond spots, Pajo’s has two other locations at YVR and Port Moody to chose from."
"In partnership with London-based developer, McArthurGlen Group, the Vancouver Airport Authority has developed the luxury designer outlet centre on Vancouver International Airport (YVR) land. The McArthurGlen Group is no stranger to designer outlets and they're known as Europe's leading owner, developer, and manager of designer outlets. The European style open-air shopping centre has luxury piazzas, tree-lined streets, pedestrian-friendly walkways, unique architecture and public art pieces."
"While you’re in Richmond, grab a deal at McArthurGlen Designer Outlets, where you can stroll the outdoor mall and find top fashion brands at significant discount. And with almost half of the population claiming Asian ancestry, Richmond is a fantastic place for food!. Cantonese, Mandarin, Korean, Japanese, and Taiwanese – you’ll find all cuisines here."
"This Italian-inspired coffee shop by day, tapas and wine spot by night, serves up 49th Parallel Coffee and some amazing food (Italian nachos, please). Grab yourself a coffee and one of their Breakfast Sammy’s — you won’t regret it. Address: 1858 Commercial Drive, VancouverPhone: 604-428-4092"
"If you find yourself deep in the south, or you’re making a trip to Ikea in Richmond, then this is the spot for you. Nestled inside Northern Building Supply, the Northern Cafe is the most authentic diner on this list. Grab some lumber or hardware, then treat yourself to a burger or some chicken strips before you start your home improvement project."
"A post shared by Jill (@jillonjill) on Jul 26, 2017 at 12:11pm PDT. This hole-in-the-wall diner is definitely one to keep on your radar. It’s literally above a hardware store."
