Delicious coffee from 49th Parallel, a Vancouver-based roaster. They play vinyl all day and are seriously hipster. Decent breakfast wrap and brownie.

Despite the name, they specialize in the Quebec favourite, poutine. They feature pretty heavy food, but the poutine is almost as good as poutine we've eaten in Quebec.

Hands down the best sandwich in the whole city. Very Italian, very delicious. Best for takeout as they don't have any tables and are more of a deli.

In my opinion, the best sushi I've had in Vancouver, and that's saying a lot because there is a ton of good sushi here. Moderately priced but you may have to wait for an hour but they do take out.

Boasts some of the most beautiful views of the city you can find. Kid-friendly but upscale. Drive or take a cab. Walking up the hill in dress shoes is not worth it.

A must for a trip to Vancouver. Showcases the rainforest that Vancouver was built on. If you're here in the summer, rent a bike and do the ten-kilometre bike ride around the park.
