"While part of dining at establishments like Chambar might be for the experience, with heat-and-serve dinners, you can now bring Chambar favourites to the comfort of home. Most of their packages serve two, like the risotto kit (from $16.50) and the Moroccan meatballs with chickpeas ($19). Or, if you're plant-based, the vegan tamarind and coconut curry ($14)."

"As the sibling restaurant of Media Café, Chambar serves a similar selection elevated breakfast offerings, with a greater focus on Belgian inspired fare (including the same awesome waffles)."

"This four-star boutique hotel sits among cocktail bars and designer boutiques in Yaletown, arguably Vancouver’s trendiest neighborhood.

"The gritty Powell block in Railtown may not seem like the place to find some of the city’s most exciting, globally inspired food, but it has been since 2015 with the arrival of the Mackenzie Room. In a small dining room decked out with hipstery brass chandeliers, distressed walls, and an ever-changing chalkboard menu, chef Sean Reeve and team use ingredients from the Pacific Northwest to reimagine classic dishes and create bold new creations with witty names like “Corn Porn” and “A Tripe Called Quest.” Opt for “I Want It All” to eat your way around the whole menu and definitely check out the off-menu selection of natural wines."

"This contemporary eatery offers amazing farm-to-table eats served family-style. The Mackenzie Room’s atmosphere, food, and service will always leave you feeling welcome. Address: 415 Powell Street, VancouverPhone: 604-253-0705"

"Levels is one of Vancouver’s newer nightclubs, occupying three levels of the former Fivesixty, which closed in 2015. Spreading across 17,000sqft (1,580sqm), there’s plenty of space here for everyone to dance, drink and take photos to remember a fun night out in the venue’s designated selfie bar. Levels is one of the city’s more EDM-forward venues, welcoming new musical acts and a host of popular DJs."

"Levels strives to be the pacesetter in propelling Vancouver dance music scene forward and leading Vancouver to the forefront of global clubbing culture."

"Jericho Beach is one of the more active of Vancouver beaches, but if you are up for some fun activities then it is a great spot to visit. With the Jericho sailing centre right there, this beach is the perfect place for sailing, kayaking, and windsurfing. If you’d rather stay on dry land, there are long stretches of sandy beaches to sit, relax, and build sand castles on!"

"Located west of Kitsilano, Jericho Beach is well liked by swimmers and sailors. The beach’s east side caters to beachgoers, while its west side is for sailboats and windsurfers. Besides swimming, picnicking and enjoying the Vancouver views, there are a lot of fun recreational activities to enjoy at Jericho Beach, including soccer, volleyball, tennis and baseball."

"An activity-lover's idyll, Jericho is great if you just want to putter along the beach, clamber over driftwood and catch stunning views of downtown. It's popular with locals on summer evenings, so expect..."

"Spanish Banks is one of the Vancouver beaches that will simply amaze you!. Perhaps a favourite of locals, this beach will take you away from the busyness that you may find downtown and transport you somewhere that feels far away — even though you will still be able to see the stunning Vancouver skyline. For families, this is a great spot in the morning or early afternoon when the tide is far out, leaving extremely long stretches of sand with small tidal pools to play in."

"Spanish Banks is well-known for promoting tranquillity since amplified sounds of all kind are not permitted. It’s the perfect place for a more peaceful and serene experience – not to mention that it’s also a great spot to host a barbeque with friends & family!.

"This beach popular with residents on Vancouver’s affluent west side actually counts three beaches: West, East, and Extension. All three wind slightly north creating a magnificent view of Vancouver’s skyline and Stanley Park. It’s one of the few beaches in Vancouver with free parking."

"Look out for the mural on the wall to find Vancouver’s ‘longest running craft brewery’ in gritty East Vancouver at 310 Commercial Drive. Enter through the loading bay and you’re in the working brewery, so watch out!. Brewer James Walton has been brewing up unpasteurized beer for nearly 25 years and you’ll only find fresh beer here — there are no cans or bottles in sight."

"They don’t have a tasting room, but do welcome guest into their workspace to taste their beers. They don’t serve pints or food, or even have chairs. But you can sample up to 6 beers (one at a time, of course)."

"This brewery has over 180 rotating taps which they call Brainstorms. Just to warn you, it's not professional at all and you will see flies. Now that the warnings are done, you need to see this place."

"We didn’t really consider Dockside Brewing the first few times we were on Granville Island, because it’s located alongside the Dockside Restaurant that is usually swarming with tourists, but that doesn’t take away from the tasty beer, so it’s worth a stop, especially after a long day of walking around the island. Location: 1253 Johnston St. Website: http://docksidevancouver.com/about/. Other tours you may enjoy:"

"Many may not realize that Granville Island is home to two breweries, with the Granville Island Hotel housing its own onsite brewing facility. Dockside earns some good brownie points for having an excellent waterfront patio, but loses some for being fairly pricey."

"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)"
