Best Shopping Malls, Outlet and Places in Surrey 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."

"A post shared by Richard Parlour (@rich.rp) on Sep 12, 2018 at 5:34pm PDT. A famous, permanent year-long attraction full of colourful stalls that showcase unique, homemade products and the “finest in gastronomic delights.” From the ocean, oven, or field – Granville Island Public Market’s got it all.

"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."

"Known previously as the Presentation House Gallery, this North Van gallery is the largest non-profit photographic gallery in Western Canada. Operating since 1981, The Polygon focuses on – but is not limited to – contemporary photography with an emphasis on Canadian work. The gallery itself is a modern and bright 25.000-square-feet (2322-square-metre) building with stunning water views."

"Just steps away from the hotel, North Vancouver’s stunning new waterfront art attraction, The Polygon Gallery, truly offers a one-of-a-kind space to encounter photography and media art. The Polygon is open Wednesday 10:00am to 5:00pm, Thursday 10:00am to 8:00pm, and Friday to Sunday 10:00am to 5:00pm. No appointments required to view the exhibitions."

"A post shared by Commercial Drive (@commerciald) on Oct 7, 2019 at 6:47pm PDT. Venture over to Commercial Drive and explore mini-mall Il Mercato to indulge in mouthwatering pizza at Lombardo’s. Replenish your stock of miscellaneous items at Super Valu before heading over to Norman’s to buy fresh produce."

"Make certain to visit International Village Mall—formerly known as Tinseltown—after 10am since Pender Street isn’t a street you want to be walking along by yourself. By going near the opening time, you’ll be surrounded by commuters heading off to work. Pick up a bubble tea to enjoy as you wander through this double-storey mall in search of fashion-forward accessories."

"On top of the fact that they encourage you to order food truck food from outside and then bring it into the tasting room, this brewery has so many wicked things going on. One Trick Pony is definitely that best 9% beer you’ll get in the city, if you’re into that kind of thing. Also in the summer they usually have really fruity, hibiscus infused beer which is great if you’re the kind of person who wouldn’t be caught dead with a sangria."

"This didn’t really come as a surprise, Brassneck is much beloved by both the public and the nerdiest of beer nerds out there. With their consistently rotating taps and the generally interesting beers being produced, the question wasn’t whether Brassneck would come out on tops, but just how far ahead of the rest it would be."

"Brassneck is quite possibly the cutest craft brewery in the city. Enter a long, narrow room trimmed by rough-hewn millwork and concrete floors, and sit yourself down—or not, we’ll get to that later—at one of the knotty softwood tables. The flights here are great, and you can mix and match pours as you please."

"This amazing micro brewery, a great gem brought to us by the Husband-and-wife team Mauricio and Alicia, had one goal in mind. Bring great craft beer to the masses. After finding a old Bicycle Shop and bike Depot, they finally made their dream into a reality."

"Faculty Brewing Co. is an open-source, green-practice driven, friendly and inclusive craft brewery in Vancouver. Our mission is to focus on education for new beer drinkers, and act as a platform to share knowledge with experienced craft beer"

"Drop off you car share car here and work your way to another vancouver brewery in brewery creek afterwards for another flight."

"Close to Bomber Brewing, Off the Rail (1351 Adanac Street) started as a way for founder Steve to share his love of craft brewing. His parents owned the famous Vancouver music bar The Railway Club and he introduced patrons to craft brewing there before moving to Mission in BC to grow hops when his parents sold the club. Now the handcrafted brews are available in the Tasting Room, alongside snacks from East Side Beer Food if you’re feeling peckish."

"If you haven’t tried the Raj Mahal India Ale then you’re doing yourself a disservice. The tasting room is bright and cheery, and the staff always seem to be in a positive mood. Another great spot along Adanac."

"This unique dessert café at the base of South Granville combines the owners’ two great loves: cheesecake, of course — an old family recipe — and music. Head in after a dinner out for your last course of the evening and enjoy an almost sinful, crustless slice of cake while listening to the sweet sounds of jazz. Aside from the classics, they make a chocolate version with peanut butter cream as well as nightly cheesecake specials like almond-mocha and lemon crumble."

"Their award-winning cheesecake is often considered the best in the city. Based on a New York-style recipe, their cake is creamy, rich and not too sweet, especially given the welcome dollop of unsweetened and light-as-air whipped cream on the side. Choose from classic with fruit compote, blueberry, chocolate, chocolate-cherry, key lime and a rotating selection of other flavours."

"End your walk at Trees Organic Coffee on the edge of Gastown. It’s a great place to people watch, especially because it’s conveniently located next to an Instagrammable pink street. Not only do you get to watch people take cheesy photos, but you can take some of your own as well."

"The combination of the fluffy texture, the graham cracker crust, and the amount of love in it makes it incredibly hard to have just one slice."

"We couldn’t write a list of the best donuts in Vancouver without including this absolute titan. We’re not going to sit here and say it’s off the charts, flavour-wise. But, there’s no denying that Duffin’s is a magical place in Vancouver, has a tremendous range of donuts to choose from, and the best value in the city by far."

"A post shared by Duffins Donuts (@duffins_donuts) on Jul 4, 2017 at 8:45am PDT. A hidden Vancouver gem, Duffin’s is open 24 hours a day and has an enticing menu full of cheap eats. Their subs sell for less than $5, they have an all-day breakfast for $4.75, and of course, fresh doughnuts."

"Their 30-year run of fresh baked and prepared in-house donuts has made them a Vancouver staple. They offer 50 varieties and also serve fried chicken, Chinese food, and torta subs and are open 24 hours a day. What more could you ask of donut shop?"

"A post shared by Cartems Donuts (@cartemsdonuts) on Feb 21, 2018 at 9:12pm PST. Description: The only thing better than birthday cakes are Cartems Donuts. Place a special order at the West Pender location for letter shaped donuts that spell out ‘Happy Birthday’ in your favourite flavours, which include gluten-free and vegan varieties."

"A post shared by Cartems Donuts (@cartemsdonuts) on Mar 29, 2018 at 10:03pm PDT. Another well-known donut shop, Cartems, may be known for their treats but many don’t know that it’s also a great place to study. Pick up one of their classic donuts or seasonal specials to help get you through your work week."
