Fun diner for brunch (also open for dinner some nights). Best pancakes in the city! But there is always a line up on the weekend...best to go on a weekday if you can, or right at opening, pancakes for dinner, or plan to hang out for a bit and wait!

Amazing pizza, nice space! Can have big line ups but if it't not raining you can put your name down and go for a stroll through the neighbourhood or down to Commercial Dr!

Sweet little Japanese cafe with specialty desserts and small selection delicious rice bowls for lunch (I always get the tuna tataki). It is a calm and lovely spot for lunch and one of my go-tos for take-out lunch.

A Vancouver staple...has been around a long time and you can count on great cocktails and amazing food with an elegant/hip but relaxed atmosphere.

Parks & Nature

If you are only in Vancouver for one day I would recommend renting bikes in the morning and cruising through Stanley Park and around the seawall all day long. You will get trees, beaches, cheeky squirrels, beautiful totem poles, amazing views and you can stay on the seawall through several different neighbourhoods past the park...

Great hiking trail...though it seems to be getting busier and busier each year (read avoid the weekends if you can). Still quite beautiful, well maintained and as a bonus the village at Deep Cove has cute shops and the amazing Hunni's Doughnuts (seriously don't miss it...just get the basic)

Essentials

One of the best neighbourhood grocery stores around...lots of organic and natural while still being affordable. Can pretty much find everything you need but a bit smaller/crowded compared to your bigger box stores...and the meat selection isn't great (there are a couple of great butchers on Hastings that make up for it) Either way it is still my top choice for grocery shopping!

Pretty much a grocery store + health food store...lots of good stuff but you will pay $$....and the produce selection is often weak...but geez if you are looking for a great selection of dairy free, gluten free, organic, vegan, supplements, etc you won't be disappointed!

Worth the trip out to UBC! Combine it with a visit to the beach (Wreck Beach if you don't like tan lines), a hike in Pacific Spirit Park and you won't regret it.
