Incredible, amazing, mind blowing. This restaurant doesn’t take reservations, and is tiny, but it’s right around the corner. Your best bet is to go get in line at around 4:45, put your name on the list, head back home and wait for your table. It’s pricier, but definitely worth it (especially the tasting menu).

(Not within walking distance...unless you really like walking) Olympic Village is awesome. Grab a coffee at Terra Breads, take a nice, long walk along the seawall and take in Vancouver, or rent a kayak and paddle around False Creek, OR hop on a water taxi and let someone else drive the boat. Maybe stop off at Granville Island for a snack and a walk-around (lots to see there). Then end your day with dinner at Nook (in Olympic Village) - one of our faves for pasta and pizza.

Sightseeing
One of those places where you stop and think 'and I'm how close to the city?'. The perfect spot to unwind, enjoy nature and people watch (we wouldn't advise swimming, though...). There's a summer farmer's market in the North parking lot that's always great to checkout. Be sure to walk a little further and pickup some baked goods at Flourist.
