"This upscale vegetarian restaurant is a great spot for a date night, girl’s night out, or a weekend brunch before shopping along Main Street. Its vegetable-centric menu allows for ever-changing seasonal offerings so you can always experience a new creation at this world-renown restaurant."

"I’ll start by saying the waitressing staff are LOVELY and are doing a good job!. We were really excited to try this restaurant as our friends recommended i..."

"After a stint at the Savoy in London, cooking for Mick Jagger, Prince, and a host of other glitzy celebs, Belgian chef Nico Schuermans has created the archetypal casual fine dining restaurant in Vancouver. Chambar offers an elegant room, faultless service, and a no-nonsense menu of French-/Belgian-influenced classics made with Pacific Northwest ingredients, which you’d be more than welcome to enjoy coming straight from yoga class still in your Lululemons."

"Chambar is a Belgian themed, fine dining establishment free of the pretentious attitude symptomatic of so many upscale restaurants. Chambar is housed in a historic, late nineteenth/early twentieth century structure boasting rustic pine and red birch features which make for a cosy dining experience. Chambar is a leader in sustainability, and hopes to become Vancouver’s first carbon neutral restaurant."

"If you prefer your date night to have a buzzing energy, head to Chambar. The room itself features beautiful light fixtures, earthy wood details and touches of leather that make for a vibrant and inviting room. The restaurant is lively, but you can still enjoy the conversation at your table."

"Immerse yourself in a world where French boutique meets lifestyle with a romantic getaway at Opus Hotel. With three consecutive years on Condé Nast Readers’ Choice Awards – Top 25 Hotels in Canada, Opus prides itself in its signature suites that are both luxurious and intimate – perfect for smitten couples. These modern and elegant suites come with TV, Wi-Fi, and a fully stocked bar."

"This lovely boutique hotel comes with vibrant furnishings and is located in the Yaletown neighbourhood. You’d want to stay at the top floor corner suite with its floor-to-ceiling windows, sweeping views, glass fireplace and plush king-sized bed. The bedroom comes with heated tile floors complete with a jetted hot tub where you can take in the views from."

"This is an in-house bar at the Opus Hotel and is one of the most prominent spots amongst people who want to explore the city of Vancouver in the nighttime. Being a part of the party hub of Vancouver, Yaletown, this place is quite prominently known in the city. The club always has a dance-worthy ambiance, thanks to the city’s best DJs and amazing gentry."

"Black+Bluetakes it steak very seriously, which is why they sell more of it than any other restaurant in Vancouver. Displayed proudly in the middle of their dining room are thick cuts of beef with a pink and orange wall of Himalayan salt bricks sitting behind the meat, naturally purifying the air and removing any moisture. This dry-aging process tenderizes the meat and creates the most sought after flavors."

"Ideal for a group of friends who want to try out a beautiful steakhouse such as Black + Blue. Try their prime rib, caesar salad, and finish up with their heavenly sweet butter cake. Address: 1032 Alberni St, Vancouver, BC V6E 1A3"

"Speaking of Instagram-worthy patios, The Roof at Black + Blue has recently undergone a makeover to become a magical secret garden, just in time for spring. Where: 1032 Alberni Street, Vancouver"

"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."

"The Rosewood Hotel Georgia brings splendor and glamor to Vancouver; it should be no surprise that it has been an iconic hotel since 1927. Prohibition is located in the basement of the hotel and this bar and lounge exude the decadence of the roaring twenties, from top to bottom. As you step inside the vaulted door off of Howe Street and make your way down the staircase, take a moment to soak it all in."

"The goal of Prohibition Brewing is to brew beer that's so good you would order it even if it were against the law. Put their mission to the test when you visit their tasting bar in Yaletown. The tasting room has five Prohibition beers on tap that will take you back to a time where drinking was dangerously delicious."

"Lemongrass chicken in a soft and pillowy bun—now tell me even the sound of that doesn't make you smile and rub your belly."

"A post shared by The Emerald Supper Club (@emeraldsupperclub) on Mar 22, 2019 at 1:13pm PDT. This is something a little different, located in China town The Emerald Supper Club’s suave décor is a nod to vintage Vegas glamour!. If you don’t want to opt for a hearty meal, you can grab some balsamic vinegar fries with goats cheese dip."

"Behind the green door in Chinatown and up the stairs you’ll find The Emerald’s talented bar staff creating drool-worthy libations and delicious bites in this former dim sum restaurant. Address: 555 Gore Avenue, VancouverPhone: 604-559-8477. Facebook | Instagram"

"With its open floor capacity, three bars and PK sound system, the Red Room is a popular nightclub choice in Vancouver, with some of the best electronic music in the city. Every Friday is Cancun Nite, which draws in crowds of up to 500 people with everything from salsa and reggae to hip-hop and top 40. Then it’s SUBculture Saturdays, which is all about bass music."

"For those who like to move to electronic and Latin music, Red Room Ultra Bar is calling. The PK Sound system and intelligent lighting set the stage for a night of dancing. The space itself is large and can accommodate 450 people."

"Once delivered by bicycle in 2012 to Vancouver’s ice cream cognoscenti, Earnest Ice Cream has expanded into two bricks and mortar locations on Vancouver’s east side. Earnest makes organic, small batch ice cream that is available via cone, cup or in 500 ml jars for take home enjoyment. The variety of flavors changes by the season and according to ingredient availability."

"Meanwhile, Earnest has perfected the art of mixing classic flavours with an ever-changing seasonal selection. While that might not be hard to start out, keeping in mind that Earnest has been setting the bar for almost a decade. Whether you’re swinging by for a scoop of Tahitian vanilla or seeing where the wind takes you that day, know that Earnest has you covered."

"Known for their boldness in unique flavours (and of course their commitment to zero waste as founders of reusable pint takeaways), Earnest is always keeping things interesting. With flavours like Whiskey Hazelnut, Toasted Marshmallow and Cherry Pie, there’s something for everyone. Our Pick | London Fog"

"Perverted Ice Cream is making ice cream fun again, for adults. With provocative branding and flavour names like Brand Spanking, Beg For S’More and Chi Chi Le Roux, you’re sure to finish with a giant smile of satisfaction (from the ice cream). Our Pick | Saturday Night (chocolate/vanilla twist, hard chocolate drizzle, sprinkles, whipped cream, cherry)"

"A post shared by 3 VANCITY FOODIES 🇨🇦 (@604.eats) on May 13, 2020 at 9:24pm PDT. Perverted serves ice cream with a twist, and you won’t be disappointed by its flavours. It’s a must-try in the city if you’re looking for a sweet treat downtown."

"These guys get the nod for having the craziest name on this list, hands down. Why associate ice cream with sexual deviance?. Beats us, but at least it’s fun for a laugh now and again."

"The aptly named Rain or Shine has been a staple for UBC students in spring classes for years, but is without a doubt a tried and true local favourite as well. And, in the same way, heading over on a Tuesday for their beloved ice cream taco will never fail to put a smile on your face. If you’ve ever had a choco-taco from your local ice cream truck, the Rain or Shine option is like a perfect upgrade to that."

"Rain or Shine is very well known in Vancouver for their delicious, Philadelphia-style ice cream (and long line ups), but with good reason – it’s all local, natural and organic. They have rich basics like Madagascar Vanilla and Salted Caramel and then some more adventurous tastes like Blueberry Balsamic and Honey Lavender. Our Pick | Honey Lavender"

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

"MeeT on Main was established in 2013 by three Vancouver restaurant alumni. Jason Antony, Ivo Staiano, and Linda Antony have all worked in the food industry for over 25 years, and have been close friends for over 20 of those years. They joined together in MeeT to develop a modern restaurant idea that will transform people’s lives."

"Launched in late 2016, Kitsilano's Chi Restaurant - now Chi Vegan - is the work of Chi Le, who was once named runner-up on TV's MasterChef Vietnam. This summer, however, Chi switched things up completely - the restaurant is now completely plant-based. So what's on the new menu?"

"Chi is one of those restaurants where you almost forget that you’re eating a plant-based version of a meat dish. It is in my opinion one of the best vegan restaurants in Vancouver. The chef, Chi, was the runner-up on the show MasterChef Vietnam."

"Everything on our menu is gluten-friendly and over 90% is vegan-friendly. We recommend the Lemongrass Chicken Box, Coconut Curry Tofu Box, and Chili Lime Shrimp Box."
