Romantic Restaurants, Getaway Places in Killarney

"Bordered by the English Bay and the Vancouver Harbor, Stanley Park is completely surrounded by water and has some of the city’s most beautiful views. This lush green forest is full of plants found only in the area and can be viewed from the many paths and trails that run through the park, including the Seawall, a stone wall that surrounds the park and runs along the water’s edge. The park is also home to Vancouver’s Aquarium and several restaurants and snack bars to make spending the day in the woods easy."

"Summer through winter, Stanley Park is gorgeous to wander around. If you’re visiting during summer through fall, rent a bicycle from Spokes or Yes Cycle and stop wherever you feel like while biking along the Seawall. You can also do a guided 5-hour bicycle tour if you’d rather have a guide with you!"

They’re cooking using the best of the season at Vancouver’s elegant The Acorn, so their menu is always evolving with the calendar. Their dishes are all vegetarian as a base, with most adaptable to suit vegan diners."

"The chefs use the best of the season at Vancouver’s elegant The Acorn, so their menu is always evolving with the calendar. Their dishes are all vegetarian as a base, with most adaptable to suit vegan diners. This spot’s vegetarian brunch has got to be one of our favourites in the city."

"The Acorn is an all-vegetarian restaurant which offers an additional selection for vegan and gluten-free diners. The focus on fresh local ingredients means that menus are seasonal. The restaurant décor reflects the modern, yet earthly vibe of the cuisine served."

"Just because Vancouver is surrounded by some of the world’s most stunning natural beauty doesn’t mean you should come to expect nothing beautiful indoors too. The city’s Art Gallery, located in downtown Vancouver, is home to over 10,000 art pieces, ranging from Canadian and British paintings to the photographic works of artists like Ansel Adams and Henri Cartier-Bresson. Guided tours are always available, but for something both interactive and slightly different, try to make it for a FUSE event, where DJ’s and artists perform throughout the galleries from 8 pm to 1 am."

"Spend the rest of the afternoon on the city’s famous shopping strip, Robson Street, or familiarize yourself with the works of British Columbia’s best known artist, Emily Carr, at the Vancouver Art Gallery. Finish off the day with dinner at a restaurant with a view of Vancouver’s majestic mountains."

"The Vancouver Art Gallery is a small but mighty gallery filled with cool exhibits that switch up every so often. Grab some clean shots with the art deco-style interior, or snap some photos of the artwork. It’s located in downtown Vancouver, and Tuesday evenings are pay-what-you-can by donation!"

"Canada’s first classical Chinese Garden is regarded as one of the top city gardens in the world. Taihu limestone, jade green water, and 150-year-old miniature trees are some of are some of the most eye-catching features of its meticulous arrangements. And it’s not only beautiful, but also structurally remarkable, having been almost entirely constructed using traditional 15th century methods and materials."

"It’s a spot rich in history as it’s the first Chinese garden built outside of China. It’s also National Geographic’s “Top City Garden in the World”. This an extremely celestial outdoor space, providing quiet respite from the bustling city and offering dozens of opportunities to photograph 150-year old miniature trees, a jade green pond, and famous koi fish."

"Chambar's one of the few restaurants that's open first thing and closes late in the evening. This bodes well for hungry diners in search of a delicious meal any time of day. Whether you're here for breakfast, brunch, lunch or dinner, the Belgian-North African cuisine brings beautiful dishes to the table."

"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."

"Vancouver's beloved carbon-neutral Belgian eatery has nailed dinner service for years. Now, you can head to Beatty Street for outstanding brunch, as well. Their 11-item menu is meat-forward but vegans can find options or modify."

"While not a brewery, the Craft Beer Market in the heart of the Olympic Village is an absolute must for beer fans looking to sample suds produced from Toronto to Tokyo. The jaw dropping interior features a massive central bar serving up over 100 beers on tap – from classic lagers to obscure ales. It’s the perfect spot to kick up your feet and sample through the best brews produced across Canada and the world at large."

Located in the historic Salt Building in Vancouver’s False Creek neighborhood, CRAFT Beer Market is popular because it has over 100 local and international beers on the menu. For indecisive beer drinkers, it will be hard to choose a favorite."

"CRAFT Beer Market English Bay is undoubtedly one of the most anticipated restaurant openings coming up, so here’s your first glimpse of what we can expect from this concept in an oh-so-coveted waterfront location. Address: 1795 Beach Avenue, Vancouver"

"Commercial Drive’s latest Asian fusion eatery features Vietnamese-meets-West Coast flavours. If its 5-star ratings on Google reviews are any indication, customers love B House’s affordable and delicious food, including its daily brunch. Try the classic benny (beer-braised pork belly, spicy aioli, truffle hollandaise, and duck-fat fried potato hashbrowns), the beef hash (sliced AAA top sirloin beef, roasted mushroom, and two poached eggs), the surf ‘n turf breakfast bowl, or the cinnamon French toasts."

"People watch along The Drive while digging into delicious Asian fusion cuisine at this spot. Where: 2270 Commercial Drive, Vancouver"

"Cabana is a truly unique lounge redefining Vancouver's nightlife scene in the heart of the entertainment district. Inspired by the vibrant style of South Beach, the Lounge boasts rich colors, chic cabana draped VIP booths, combined with stunning design elements. RSVP at Cabana Lounge"

"Resurrection Spirits is reviving the heritage of making Straight Rye Whisky, White Rye Whisky, and Gin using 100 percent BC Rye Grain. Bitters, Fruit Brandies, and other excellent spirits will be added to their collection as they increase their understanding of the rye grain and their investigation of this magnificent component. Small distilleries used local produce ingredients to create high quality products with distinct essence and appeal before the amalgamation of spirit production in Canada."

"We like the fun branding of this new brewery coming to North Vancouver. And, fingers crossed that we’ll like their beers just as much. Once they open of course, but they’ve already teased their first brews!"

"33 Acres brews consistently quality beers, and with the addition of 33B, their experimental tap room, they have the ability to add a very creative spin to their core lineup. This was interesting, the public poll ranked 33 Acres quite high on the list, but with our score and the other beer experts average it went from a top ten ranking down at least 10 spots."

"33 Acres Brewing is a West Coast company through and through. Their three locally crafted beers are inspired by natural elements and appropriately named: 33 Acres of Life, Ocean and Darkness. Each beer reflects the characteristics of these elements and conveys different flavours."

"33 Acres Brewing Co. proves that a lengthy brunch menu does not necessarily equal success. Their tiny, super solid, two-item menu creates a lineup at the 11am opening hour. Choose from an Avocado Smash on (Nelson the Seagull's amazing sourdough) and Beer waffles."

"These guys and Green Leaf are some of the founding members of North Van’s beer scene, having opened years before the latest crop showed up. Straightforward beers paired with great food and they’ve got some history?. Now that’s the kind of prestige we’re looking for."

"With two locations in Vancouver, Deacon’s Corner started in Gastown in 2009 and hasn’t looked back since. The food is a little more classy here, but the menu items are just as blue collar as anywhere else. Case in point is the Big Mountie, which uses three slices of brioche, pulled pork, swiss cheese and fried chicken."

"A post shared by Caroline (@c4roline.eats) on Jan 31, 2017 at 4:52pm PST. A classic diner serving up some great grub to curb those hunger pangs. They have two locations, one in Gastown and one in Kits."

"On those bleary-eyed mornings when only heaping comfort grub hits the spot, make for Main Street. Neighbourhood hangout Lucy Eastside Diner (facebook.com/lucyseastsidediner) – one of Vancouver’s few 24-hour eateries – serves good value breakfasts from traditional eggs and bacon to smoked salmon scrambles. The rest of the day, slide onto a counter perch and faceplant into well-priced burgers, fried chicken sandwiches or made-from-scratch soups."

"A post shared by Lucy’s Eastside Diner (@lucyseastsidediner). Lucy’s Eastside Diner is an all-day breakfast joint that invokes the spirit of the classic North American diner with an unexpected flair. Their menu offers a basic buttermilk pancake stack and a pulled pork variety also."

"A post shared by Isabella | Vancouver (@roostervelt) on Feb 11, 2016 at 7:53pm PST. A 24-hour eatery with retro décor that whips up some delicious eats. They have an all day and all night breakfast special for those who like to eat breakfast food all the time."

"Home to one of the best BLT’s in Vancouver, Save on Meats will give you that hometown feel with tons of options and of course, “Adult Milkshakes” – who wouldn’t want that?. Address: 43 W Hastings Street, VancouverPhone: 604-569-3568. Facebook | Twitter | Instagram"

"A Gastown staple, Save On Meats prides itself on some of the best burgers in the city. Build your own, and then get a boozy milkshake alongside it to complete the experience. Heck maybe, even pick up some ground chuck at the adjacent butcher shop."

"This Kitsilano spa has swept up a variety of awards over the years for its skin-specialized treatments. Try one of their body scrub and showers or a massage for full-on relaxation, or opt for a facial or microdermabrasion to freshen up your face. You can also get a spray tan or sunless tan here for a little bronze glow during greyer months."
