Best Shopping Malls, Outlet and Places in Port Moody Area

"Sure the aisles are packed with wide-eyed Instagrammers at this popular tourist destination, but there are some jewels to be found here to assemble a superb picnic for watching the boats and paddle boarders on False Creek. Take your pick from delights such as pickled headcheese, succulent mortadella, and punchy salami at the Oyama Sausage Co, then head to Terra Bread to pick up some focaccia or baguettes before stocking up on local Salt Spring Island cheeses at Benton Brothers and fresh doughnuts at Lee’s."

"Granville Island's highlight is the covered Public Market, a multisensory smorgasbord of fish, cheese, fruit and bakery treats. Pick up some fixings for a picnic at nearby Vanier Park or hit the international food court (dine off-peak and you're more likely to snag a table). From June to September, there's also an alfresco farmers market outside where, depending on the harvest, you'll find BC cherries, peaches and blueberries."

"Housed in the historic Wing Sang building (51 East Pender Street), which is Chinatown’s oldest building (1889), the Rennie Museum is a private collection owned by real estate mogul Bob Rennie. Local and international artists are showcased in the gallery and free tours are available to the public. Continue to 9 of 10 below."

"A private museum that you have to book to get into, but definitely worth the minimal effort required. Make a story out of the exhibition, and take a main page post on the roof, it’s a win-win scenario. Definitely one of the coolest buildings you can check out in Vancouver."

"Make sure to stop off for a drink at Keefer Bar and Fortune Sound Club and check out Rennie Collection at Wing Sang (which offers free entry). You can also visit some of the firm-favourites such as; Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Classical Chinese Garden and the Millennium Gate."

"A beautiful shopping mall carrying designer brands, Sinclair Centre, aside from being a stunning work of marble and brass architecture complete with a glass atrium, is also for many, where they first became “Canadians.” The centre is comprised of four buildings that have been joined together, including the Federal Building where the Passport office is located. This building dates all the way back to 1910, a rich piece of Vancouver’s history."

"Journey over to downtown Vancouver’s charming Sinclair Centre to indulge in delicious Italian cuisine at L2 Leone Cafe.

Shop under the seafoam-green once-copper tower of Sinclair Centre for dazzling diamonds."

Toys, children’s wear, party supplies, costumes, dance clothing, candies, gifts and other specialty items fill the shops in this warehouse-styled mall. With a play area, arcade and caboose, it is definitely a child’s paradise."

"A post shared by City Square (@citysquareshoppingcentre) on Jun 17, 2016 at 9:44am PDT. While wandering around downtown Vancouver, take some time to check out City Square Shopping Centre. Drop your children off at Raincity Dance studio while you pound it out at Steve Nash Fitness World."

"As of the last week of January 2020, most of the stores and food court along with Safeway have been removed for the rebirth of this popular Vancouver mall, which will include luxurious residences. Enjoy shopping under the airy glass skylight at this single-storey sprawling shopping centre. Spend time scouring the racks for end-of-season sales at flagship department store Hudson’s Bay Company."

"Another gem in Vancouver’s crown of great eateries is Cafe Gloucester. Offering a delightful menu of Hong Kong-style dishes, as well as amazing comfort food options, this is a popular spot for those who love variety and a good solid meal. Try their Pan Fried Minced Pork and String Beans, the Stir Fried Seafood and Vegetables, the Szechuan Style Hot and Spicy Chicken, or a heaping plate of Chicken Chow Mein."

"The Art gallery at Vancouver will take you to see the power of art. This art gallery is the most interesting and innovative visual art institution. There is no lack of culture in Vancouver."

"Housed in the historic Wing Sang building (51 East Pender Street), which is Chinatown’s oldest building (1889), the Rennie Museum is a private collection owned by real estate mogul Bob Rennie. Local and international artists are showcased in the gallery and free tours are available to the public. Continue to 9 of 10 below."

"Vancouver's best museum is studded with spectacular First Nations totem poles and breathtaking carvings – but it's also teeming with artifacts from cultures around the world, from Polynesian instruments to Cantonese opera costumes. Take one of the free daily tours (check ahead for times) for some context, but give yourself at least a couple of hours to explore on your own. It's easy to immerse yourself here. "

"Museum of Anthropology at UBC: An informative museum highlighting The First Nations of Canada. Kitsilano Beach: An excellent place to relax with scenic views of Vancouver. You can also swim here when the weather is warm."

"Correct us if we’re wrong, but we also don’t know of any brewery in Canada that doubles as a roastery. Sure, there’s the uber-popular Modern Times in LA, but that’s it. So, knowing that House of Funk has its own roasting program to boot really sets them apart from the rest of the pack."

"One of the original players in Vancouver’s beer evolution, brewer James Walton (a.k.a. “Mad Scientist”) began making unpasteurized concoctions some 25 years ago, and that gritty aura of ’90s-era East Van lingers here (to wit: the graffiti-style mural outside). Sample gnarly brews (“Brainstorm” beers, like Orange Creamsicle ale) in the “yes, this is a warehouse” tasting room. 310 Commercial Dr.,stormbrewing.org"

"Storm is unique because there isn’t a tasting room, and you can’t just pop in for a pint. It’s go big or go home, go fill up your growler, take a tour, pick up a keg and get the heck out (kidding, the staff is lovely). Though you can’t lounge, you can taste a bunch of beer for a cash donation which is pretty sweet, plus it’s right on Commercial and has been brewin’ since ‘94 which is also cool."

"The complete opposite of 33 Acres brewing, the OG of craft beer in Vancouver is going strong after more than 20 years. Look, Storm may smell weird, something may stick to your shoes, and you may see a rat or two but that’s all the reasons why they are so well beloved. The DGAF attitude translates into the sometimes insane beer options, and they are a can’t miss brewery in Vancouver."
