Fantastic day out. Three thrills in one 😂😂. The view from the bridge down into the valley are amazing, the only place you cannot stop is on the stairs on or off the bridge. Then follows the tree top walk. This was beautifully lit with twinkle lights. It is a bit of a climb up but well worth it. Then we did the cliff walk which again had fantastic views. The park was prepared for Halloween so the decoration was lovely. Well worth the trip and a free shuttle bus to/from Canada Place.

Such a gorgeous place!! One of my girlfriends and I drove up for a girls weekend and had such a wonderful time visiting the park! We got lucky and had the opportunity to visit while they have all of their Halloween decorations up and it was amazing! Definitely put us in a festive mood. All of my encounters with staff were great, everyone is so friendly and seems happy to be there, and the park is so organized and clean. Definitely worth a visit!

We were amazed just at the entrance to this place. You know that scene on Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring? Picture the forest kingdom of Lothlórien and the Woodland Realm in Mirkwood. Too bad they didnt incorporate this into their builds. But I really appreciate the care and hardworking that went into all elements of this place. Definitely recommend going at an hour before dusk because the lighting that has been incorporated would be so amazing. I wanted to come back at night to see it but for the price was a little steep. I would recommend to mgt to allow passes to be used from opening to closing each day. The admission was so worth it, a must see!! Take your kids, but the main attraction of the Capilano Suspension bridge is not for the faint of heart or the person afraid of heights.

Nice, well built and interesting place. Went during the halloween period so it was quite fantastic to see how it was decorated. They definitely didn’t skimp out on the decorations so it was quite a surprise to see how extensive and well embellished the entire park was. The gift shops are nice, and the choices for food isn’t too much so I wouldn’t recommend eating here. Either way, despite being a little pricey, I think it is still quite a lovely visit.

I visited the park today and had the best time! Its absolutely beautiful and a must see for anyone who comes to Canada. A huge shout out to the amazing tour guide Diancy (I'm so sorry if I've spelt that wrong) who knew her stuff! Every question I had about the trees, or the forest, she was able to answer in great detail. She was super friendly and really made the tour feel extra special. Over all the whole experience was amazing!

The place is amazing. I really had a lot of fan. I was there close to Halloween, and the park was fully decorated. Everything very cleaned and organised. It's definitely worth to visit. There is a free shuttle that leaves Canada Place and stop on different hotels along the way.

My girl and I got our BC residents pass and wow what an amazing unforgettable experience! It’s absolutely stunning at night with the Halloween theme. The tree top bridges are my favourite! So many sites to see in a beautiful area. This place is so well taken care of and designed perfectly. Cannot wait to come back I’m so excited to go again:)

Cleveland Dam is a peaceful spot in North Vancouver, offering pleasant views of the Capilano River and surrounding forest. The area has several well-marked trails nearby, suitable for an easy walk or a longer hike through the woods. great for stretching your legs in nature. It’s also a good place to bring your dog for a calm, off-leash walk, as many of the trails are dog-friendly and provide plenty of space to explore. There’s free parking available close to the dam, which is convenient. The picnic area is a nice spot to take a break or have lunch, with tables and some shaded spots. Overall, Cleveland Dam is a solid choice for a quiet walk, a hike, or a relaxed afternoon outdoors with your pup.

Calm and serene if there are no big crowds of people, but if there are, it gets busy and loud quite quickly. It isn't a large area and the dam itself is quite small. The reservoir/lake is big though, but there are no trails around it. If you're coming here looking to do that 2012 Instagram trend of taking a photo with your legs hanging over the edge, don't bother. It's all high-walled and fenced off now. The picturesque little house on the water is gone as well. The water flow in the summer is almost non-existent unless you're really lucky. It is at the one end of the Capilano River regional park, which is an easy and basic walking trail along the river. There are some nice enough viewpoints of the dam and gorge along that trail. Worth a look if you're in the area, but I wouldn't go out of my way and plan a special trip just to see this dam.

Absolutely stunning. Even more so on a clear, beautiful day. Hard to top the natural beauty. Great place for a little picnic and chilling with family and friends.

Such an amazing place! The vibe is peaceful and relaxing, surrounded by a beautiful forest with fresh, earthy scents.. The views of the dam are absolutely breathtaking ,the whole area is just stunning!

It was an incredible walk for all the family from 10yo to 68yo. Restrooms and picnic tables near the parking lot and incredibly fresh water from the water fountain. Many trails and

Beautiful place!!! I went on an impromptu hike here and didn’t even know I was gonna find this haha, for I was not looking at maps while walking. It’s a great place to lay in the sun, although you must know there’s no swimming in the lake!

Free parking and entry, the views here are stunning and the dam is also and impressive structure. Well worth a visit. Several trails for walkers.

If you're travelling through the area and need somewhere to stop to get supplies then the Capilano Mall has most of what you'd need. There's easy underground parking on site and plenty of retailers inside from larger stores like Walmart to more specialist shops also. There's a reasonable food court also. Worth a stop if you need to restock.

I enjoyed shopping in Capilano Mall, enough parking lot, a delicious variety of food in the food court. I did grocery, too, in Capilano Mall Walmart.

Great place for fun and all your needs.

The mall is fine, the parking is ridiculous! Who decided to put in Asian sized parking spots for North American automobiles?! Not too bright. Prepare for dinged doors.

Not the largest mall, but it’s nice that it is connected to Walmart. There are a few restaurants such as Khagan connected as well. Well worth a visit if you want a small, quiet mall that’s you can visit and do your grocery shopping. Right outside is transit connection so it is very easily accessible.

Very quite less crowded, Walmart is Good on products variety but No cocked food (chicken as example), There is money exchange outlet (Attar) And phone service company like Roger and Fido, Dollar tree

Has a fresh feel. Lots of new or renovating stores. Part of a large shopping complex. Food court could use a few more choices. Food court attendees were so nice!

A lively waterfront market with over 80 stalls and shops offering fresh seafood, baked goods, coffee, international eats, artisan crafts, and souvenirs. Great spot to grab fish & chips, gelato, or a local coffee while enjoying harbor views from the upstairs lookout. Friendly vendors and a vibrant atmosphere make it perfect for a casual stroll or light shopping. Open daily around 10:00–19:00.

Lonsdale Quay Market is a fantastic destination for shopping, with a stylish mix of chic stores and a vibrant atmosphere. The modern architecture gives the space a sleek, contemporary feel, making it enjoyable to explore. Beyond the shopping, the market offers stunning waterfront views that are perfect for a relaxing stroll or a scenic photo op. It’s a great spot to soak in the local vibe while enjoying both retail therapy and beautiful surroundings.

We love the yummy vibes very much indeed and the food we bought including the shortbread, the lemon tart, the chocolates are all awesome👍👍👍🌷🌷🌷

Choices of food and plenty of seatings. Seabus to Canada Place, Hotel upstairs, next to shipyard performance stage and different kinds of shops plus hotels and eateries and children's playground Parking space is a little expensive and the pay station is very inconvenient. But in general, it's a nice place to visit

Awesome, irresistiblely attractive to all people, Lonsdale Quay Market, situated in Northern Vancouver beside Vancouver harbour, offers an amazing & embracing atmosphere in terms of it's association with not only soothing-view of expanse of water with lineage of beautiful buildings, greeneries of Stanley Park on opposite side of water, ships gliding, sea planes flying - a view of harmony & forever-awarding-serinity, but also singers singing or playing instruments - people having brunch, lunch with drinking in bars or restaurants - buyers purchasing goods or food from farmer market - all these are creating an atmosphere of harmony & merry-go-round state while people are having care-free-but-disciplined approach. It's an in unforgettably immersive environment.

Great place for local shops and vendors to come sell their items. I do recommend if you are looking for a place to venture with your family. Unfortunately though one vendor, Sharkies has been letting smoke from burnt food into the air weekly with no improvements. It's incredibly unhealthy for the workers and customers and makes it very hard to breathe. Visibility gets very foggy and you can hear customers and workers coughing frequently. I do wish that something would happen in regards to this.

The market has a choice of food stalls, gift shops, local crafts. Vibrant atmosphere great to sit outdoors if weather permits.

Great fish and chips. Hot and crispy, with good batter to fish amounts. Personally, I like lots of tartar sauce, so I recommend asking for a second sauce. The fries are fresh cut and they have plenty of vinegar for you to add, if that's your thing. Well priced, and will return for more. Highly recommended to get this and go eat at the waterfront or inside the brewery with a beer!

Really good fish and chips. Fish was absolutely fresh, chips were crispy until the last bite. Combo and specials are priced fairly. I went for the snapper and the batter was perfect, fish flaky and clean tasting. Great views of the city from Lonsdale Quay.

Perfect place for good fish and chips... The 2 piece halibut is a nice size and the fries are perfect. Not too much batter which is a nice change.

What a wonderful store. Im not sure if the owner is the bloke behind then but im sure that if he doesnt he'd be proud of the service we recieved. The portions were large. A well spent $10. The fish was coated in a thin batter which was crispy and not too oily. The fries, again were perfectly cooked. It was probably the best fish and chips I have eaten since being to England!

It's located in a Lonsdale Quay market which is a great location. You have stunning view seating there. The halibut and tartar sauce was fairly good however the fries was smelly. It seemed they fried them in the oil which was already used to fry fish. But overall it's not bad

The halibut fish was Just Ok but not good quality chips. i was very disappointed because the main part of fish and chips is delicious french fries

Delicious fish n chips with a fantastic view! Owners and staff and very friendly and serve great portions. Highly recommend.

I just want to share a short review to save your time: Good Reception. Beautiful location facing the Burrard Inlet and Downtown Vancouver skylight. Customer base in this restaurant appears to be generally seniors, that defines the tranquil vibe. They were understaffed and it took easy half an hour for a starter meal to get ready. Plates they served were all wet with drops of water on them that we had to ask to be replaced with dry ones. Food taste is average at best. All in all our experience was far from great. With the price you're paying you expect a certain level of quality and service.

This was our first experience at Pier 7. We were warmly welcomed at the entrance and offered a table in the corner of the enclosed patio. A few windows were open, allowing us to hear the sounds of the ocean and breathe in the fresh sea air — a lovely touch that added to the waterfront experience. Our server, Tessa, was kind and attentive throughout the meal. Her service made us feel well taken care of, and we appreciated her friendly demeanor. The food overall was decent, though a few things missed the mark. My partner had the fish and chips, which came with a red cabbage coleslaw that appeared to be leftovers from the day before — the cabbage had turned brown, a detail the kitchen clearly overlooked. I had a green salad with salmon. While the salmon itself was perfectly cooked and full of flavour, the salad was plain: mostly greens, a few chunky cherry tomatoes and red peppers, tiny bits of cucumber, and a balsamic dressing that lacked any real taste. I did mention the issue with the coleslaw to our server at the end of our meal. She was genuinely apologetic, though no gesture was made to compensate or address the concern further. While there’s room for improvement, we still enjoyed the experience and might give it another try in the future. .

Came in with friends who has made a reservation. They were still setting our table up. We had an ok dining experience. Yes, we were here to be near the water since I am here visiting and have good eats. My waffles tasted very floury like it wasn't mixed well enough. I enjoyed the berries and compote but felt it might have been to hide the floury taste of the waffles. My friends had a variety of dishes which I did not get pictures of them as they all dug in their dishes before I could and they say it was ok as well. The service truly was understaffed as we waiting a while before we got our drinks, food and refills. The staff did say they were understaffed but my friends am told that they are always understaffed. However I did see a number of people around that could have helped the others with things but didn't. Where we were seated was a bit squishy because of the other tables being set up and trying to accommodate each request to get a view of the water. I may or may not come in for the view, but something needs to drive me in for it. Obviously, it isn't the food at this moment.

I chose Pier 7 to celebrate my birthday and had the best time ever! Youssef was our server and I gotta say it was one of the best services we had in Vancouver. Super attentive, kind and friendly. The food was delicious, the drinks were amazing and the view is stunning! So happy I had the opportunity to celebrate here. Definitely will come back soon

Our evening at Pier 7 was amazing. This is our first time at this place, prices, food and service was top notch. We didn't expect much before coming here but we left extremely happy! Kari Ann was by far the best server we have ever had in our lives and I would definitely recommend you guys ask to be seated in her section if she is working on that day. She really made today feel special for us. 10 / 10 would recommend.

Casual restaurant located in North Vancouver, just steps away from the Seabus. The food and atmosphere are both great. We arrived during happy hour and got to try a bit of everything. The location and ocean view are unbeatable, making it a perfect spot to enjoy a drink while taking in the beautiful marine scenery.

Pier 7 was just okay. While their plates look expensive and are eye catching the food on them doesn’t match the display in flavour. A few of our dishes the fish was overcooked, and for some reason the muscles may be the woest I’ve ever had. It has a lot of potential but I wouldn’t go back for the prices. Being on the water is nice though!

I ordered the lamb donair it's was ok the meat was good I just wish that there was more available toppings rather then the basics but for 13 dollars you can't go wrong . The service wasn't the greatest I didn't feel all that welcomed maybe the cashier was having a bad day after you get your food make sure to ask for napkins as they don't leave them out . Would I come back? I'd consider trying other items on the menu such as their rice dishes. If this establishment can up their customer service I'd change my review from 3 to 4 stars .

Jun 2025, Father’s Day. His choice, he had been there before, directed me where to park. Son treated, to a mixed platter, a lamb, and a chicken shawarma. Nice outside seating area, green and fresh. Warm the bread, staff mildly interested, quiet day so maybe tired.

Your quality of food is going down in order a Khobideh kebab and it looks like you have compromised on a good serving it was all falling apart when I got it. 15 dollars is not worth what I got I got a good serving. For salad I guess I feel I paid 15 bucks for a Greek salad. Will not order again bring the good old days back bro

Delicious and great portions for price! Will def order from this place again.. would've given 5 stars but I specified sweet Halifax donair sauce and got other sauces instead... but everything overall is worth it, minus small mistake..

The food is average, but the overall experience could be greatly improved with a change in staff attitude. A simple smile or greeting can go a long way in making customers feel welcome. Unfortunately, the service felt cold and uninviting, almost as if the staff member didn’t want to be there. That kind of atmosphere can really affect whether someone chooses to return.

I was first introduced to donair by a Persian gym buddy who suggested this Northshore restaurant to tackle some major hunger after a Gym session. I'd heard of donair Mediterranean vertical barbecue before but had never been. Always down for well-seasoned and spicy food, the first taste of Yummy's mixed beef and lamb donair made me an instant fan. Beyond the very generously sliced barbecued meat, a wide choice of different vegetable ingredients and several sweet and spicy sauce options (garlic, tzatziki, or hot) can be added to the delicous pita bread -- which is very soft, fresh and doesn't break or leak. Many additional condiments are also available at-table for customizable taste: Frank's, Sriracha, Sriracha Mayonnaise, Ketchup etc. A very well-stocked Cooler also contains a ton of beverage choice: soft drinks domestic & imported, juices, bottled waters, iced teas + lemonade, red bull & sports drinks. Something for everyone. The interior of Yummy Donair's very ideal corner location on 16th Street is bright and clean with curving stone counters along window, several individual tables for four, and new seating both inside and outside; the adjacent outdoor patio seating area is surrounded by shady trees and shrubs along Hamilton Avenue, ideal for hot Summer weather. Cool Plants and Aquarium, colorful new Mediterranean lighting, well-mixed Spotify playlists, and very Welcoming People make your visit a very pleasant one.

I am a savage for yummy Donair. Been coming here for years. Can’t believe I haven’t rated it before today. Great Donairs and Sagnak bread. Park in the lot on the east side of yummy. Then go to the park. Nice picnic close to home.

Worst sushi I had ever have…. First… the waiter had no knowledge about their food, and didn’t know how to serve. (I don’t know how to explain here in words…) anyways. And he took my orders wrong … I ordered three rolls and two were wrong. Then I asked another waiter (who’s smarter) about my rolls and he admitted it’s wrong. So he took my plate. It came back in a few min. But since I ate one of the rolls (the correct order one… all three rolls on the same plate) and the plate was a bit messy…. But when they returned, they simply took away the wrong rolls and placed the rights ones there… without cleaning up the plate… so it looks pretty bad. And their sushi was loosely wrapped. So the ingredients fall apart when I eat. For the hand roll. The seaweed was so soft and moist which is not right. Only thing is price is relatively cheap. So you get what you pay Anyways. Won’t go there again

Allen was a great server! Very friendly and patient with our two little kids! The sushi portion was great considering the price. We usually choose this as our go to place for sushi.

Delicious BC roll with lots of salmon. The miso soup could have been hotter. The sushi robot that delivered my meal was cut, but did spill the miso soup a bit. Overall a nice experience

After a ferry ride to North Van this was a great dinner spot for my Mom and I. Exceptional food and service. We even seen their robotic delivery at work in the restaurant.

Randomly chose this place and was pleasantly surprised with the meal. Great quality and service.

This is my favorite local sushi place. We go there on average at least every 2 weeks. There are so many places with good sushi, but few with GREAT sushi. I never leave hungry.

We love the new sushi robot ! Great deals and delicious sushi

The area offers an excellent atmosphere for strolling and observing tourists as they board their cruises. In addition to the lively ambiance, there are various rides and souvenir shops to explore, making it a vibrant destination. Walking to or taking a ride share service is best since I didn't see any parking areas.

It is an Iconic landmark and a must-visit in Vancouver. Canada Place offers stunning views of the waterfront, mountains, and city skyline. The architecture is impressive, and it's a great spot for photos. Explore the shops, dine at one of the restaurants, or simply enjoy the atmosphere. Perfect for locals and tourists alike

Place du Canada is an impressively large and beautifully designed public space right in the heart of Vancouver. The area is open, welcoming, and very well laid out, making it easy to walk around and explore. It’s a truly pleasant attraction, whether you’re visiting for the first time or stopping by again. There’s always something happening here—events, activities, or just the natural buzz of people enjoying the space. It feels vibrant and full of life, yet still comfortable enough to relax and take in the surroundings. The mix of scenery, atmosphere, and things to do makes it a great place to spend some time. Overall, Place du Canada is definitely worth a visit if you’re in Vancouver.

The water front area . Ferry, station and many bus pick up place. Very nice views of water front and city. Tickets to many tourist attractions including Capilano suspension park, grouse mountain, etc., available

Canada Place is iconic and you’ll see the seaplanes, cruise ships and famed whale statue and Olympic Cauldron. Perfect place to walk along the harbor, shop and enjoy the many restaurants. It’s usually busy given that it is by the convention center and many cruise ships dock in the area. There is also a very fun ride, FlyOver Canada that will make you feel that you are actually flying, suspended in air with an aerial and jaw dropping views of Canada. Nice activity if it’s a rainy day.

Last week was my first cruise and was pleasantly surprised how easy and efficient it was at Canada Place to drop off our luggage and proceed to get on board our ship. We walked by the day before our ship left to get a lay of the land (walking down toward the luggage drop off) and ended up taking an Uber the day of (overpackers, lol) and got down to the drop off very quickly.

A beautiful building and a must see place when visiting Vancouver. There is a hotel, convention center and other things but we go there for the beautiful views. There is a cruise ship terminal and you might see a ship docked there. You can see north and west Vancouver. There is port nearby that you can see ships being unloaded. There are benches around and the walk is beautiful by the water. The views of the city during daylight and at night are amazing. There are restaurants if you need to eat.

Pacific Centre is a convenient shopping destination in downtown Vancouver with a wide range of stores, but it lacks a standout attraction to truly draw people in. While the mall offers many shopping options, the overall atmosphere feels dated and in need of renovation. The food court is overpriced and not particularly impressive, and the presence of drug-addicted individuals inside can make the experience uncomfortable at times. Parking is another downside—it’s extremely expensive, which adds to the overall cost of a visit. On a positive note, the staff at the Roots store are friendly and helpful, offering great customer service. Overall, Pacific Centre has potential, but it falls short in delivering a pleasant and memorable shopping experience.

This shopping mall is conveniently located and offers a wide variety of shops, including the upscale Holt Renfrew department store. The food court also provides plenty of dining options to choose from, catering to different tastes. However, one major downside is the parking. The rates are extremely high—around $10 per hour. We spent just two hours there and ended up being charged $20.80, which made the overall shopping experience feel quite costly. Additionally, many of the stores available here can also be found in other malls or shopping areas, so there’s not much that sets it apart in terms of uniqueness. While the mall is clean and convenient, the expensive parking may be a deterrent for some shoppers.

CF Pacific Centre is one of the largest and most popular shopping destinations in downtown Vancouver, British Columbia. Located at the busy corner of Georgia and Granville Streets, it is directly connected to several SkyTrain stations, making it easy for visitors to reach by public transit. The mall features over 100 stores, including world-famous brands such as Holt Renfrew, Nordstrom, Apple, and Sephora, as well as a variety of Canadian retailers. Shoppers can find everything from fashion, beauty products, and electronics to home décor and unique gifts. What makes CF Pacific Centre special is not only its diverse range of stores but also its modern design and convenient layout. The mall is partly underground, offering a comfortable shopping environment protected from Vancouver’s rainy weather. In addition to retail shops, the centre has food courts, casual cafés, and sit-down restaurants, giving visitors many dining options. It is also within walking distance of major downtown attractions like the Vancouver Art Gallery and Robson Street. Whether you are a local resident looking for everyday shopping or a tourist seeking high-end brands, CF Pacific Centre provides a central, stylish, and accessible shopping experience right in the heart of Vancouver.

Very impressed! Visited from TX and this place all the best stores! Kids loved it!

I want to add that this location DOES have free wheelchair rentals. I searched online and was told no. My 65 year old husband and I had been walking for two hours waiting for hotel check-in and I figured it would be a dry place to wait, even without a wheelchair rental option as he was exhausted. Imagine my delight when I found the customer service kiosk and it said wheelchair rentals! The process was quick, easy, and free. He was able to spend the remaining two hours out of pain and back to enjoying himself. I don't think you realize how much you saved the day for this old couple. We can't thank you enough for being there.

CF Pacific Centre is a fantastic shopping destination right in the heart of downtown Vancouver. The mall is clean, modern, and well-organized, making it easy to find everything you need. It has a wide variety of stores, from high-end fashion brands to everyday essentials, so there’s truly something for everyone. The food court and nearby dining options are convenient for a quick snack or a leisurely meal after shopping. Customer service is generally helpful, and the mall is well-connected to public transit, making access very easy. Overall, CF Pacific Centre offers a pleasant, convenient, and enjoyable shopping experience every time I visit

This is a really great place to go and window shop if you just want something to do or even go and check out who's sitting around where and what kind of conversation can you strike up with them. It's a great place to go and meet people socially and have a really nice time You might even find the answers to the questions you're looking for or you might even find that you have an absolutely interesting day because of going to the Pacific center mall

As time goes on, I have very mixed feelings about this gallery. It is the biggest one in the city but no student membership is available. I used to be a member, and can no longer afford it. The entry fee is exorbitant so I bought a year-long entry pass to make up for it... I also wonder about the curation. I liked the recent ceramics exhibit but that's because I love ceramics! I felt underwhelmed by the others. My previous visits ~4-5 years ago felt stronger than recent exhibits. Bring in more classical/traditional work, in addition to contemporary, to balance things out. I mean beyond Emily Carr (who is great but shown constantly).

While I live near and visit Vancouver a lot, I hadn’t been to the Vancouver Art Gallery in almost 20 years. The cost to visit is rather high, given the size of the gallery. As a BC resident it was $29. We spent just over an hour visiting the 4 floors. The up escalators were all out of order at the time of visit, though there was an elevator for accessibility. The exhibits were well presented and maintained, though the building was super warm and lacked air flow. The Emily Carr exhibit was definitely the highlight for me.

Visiting the art gallery for the first time was a truly wonderful experience. The exhibition featured a wide range of unique art pieces, including beautifully crafted pot sculptures in various styles and designs. I was especially fascinated by the ceramic sculptures, each one showcasing incredible detail and creativity. The gallery also displayed stunning paintings that captured different themes and cultures. Overall, it was an eye-opening experience that gave me a deeper appreciation for diverse forms of art and cultural expressions.

This is a nice gallery to visit if you have a couple of hours to spare while in town. It is a spacious place with exhibitions from different artists. The content changes during the year so it's good to keep an eye on the venue schedule. This venue is centrally located in downtown.

I must confess that I found myself somewhat underwhelmed. The impressive architectural structure did not seem to house anything particularly captivating or noteworthy. The contemporary and conceptual art installations, while present, did not fully engage my interest. Consequently, I would only recommend a visit if one has already experienced all other attractions Vancouver has to offer.

It’s definitely a smaller gallery and pretty quick to experience, but I loved seeing Otani Workshop’s first NA solo exhibit! It is a bit pricey considering they don’t have permanent installations but still worth supporting and the staff are so sweet here!

Really wish I had read reviews before visiting this place. Someone else described it as one of the least inspiring art museums and I would strongly agree. What made it so much worse was the fact they closed the main stairs, forcing us in loops to get to tiny back stairs. Then, where there were escalators, half didnt work - so time to backtrack around the building through the depressing exhibits of a single barrel of hay. I understand artists suffer for their art - but must I suffer as well?

Such a great attraction this is! Family friendly, informative and absolutely stunning views. We loved the information cards placed right by the view. Children enjoyed this experience more than the adults. The staff were very well trained, they kept the facility spotless and well organized.

First time visit here as visited Vancouver couple times. Great view for 360 degree view of all the directions of the city, in a sunny day. Drawback is they will close before sunset, so you cannot come for a night view. But probably they are worried about the safety in downtown for that.

That was sooo exciting when you go up in the very quick glass elevator about 130 meters high, or actually 168 meters above sea level! You can see all of Vancouver’s attractions from above. Inside, there are pictures of different Vancouver spots with their history, and there’s even a QR code you can scan to listen to the guide. Highly recommend it!

We didn’t get time to go to grouse mountain so decided to do the lookout. Cost is approx $44 for two. It was ok. Not much atmosphere at the top but there are markers for each site/building etc. it was cool being in the elevator outside. I wouldn’t say it’s a must do.

The Vancouver Lookout definitely lives up to its name—you get a mostly great panoramic view of the entire city. It’s a beautiful way to get your bearings and take in the skyline, mountains, and water all at once. That said, the ticket prices are pretty steep for what is essentially a quick experience. I give them bonus points for the thoughtful touch of having stepstools for little kids so they can actually enjoy the view too. I’ve done it once and it was lovely—but at that price point, I don’t feel the need to do it again. Worth checking off your list, but maybe not a repeat visit.

If you’re a first-time visitor to Vancouver or keen on getting a quick, immersive city overview—especially with different lighting by day and night—the Vancouver Lookout is worth a stop. For seasoned locals or those watching the budget, you may choose to simply admire the skyline from street-level rooftops or nearby drinking spots.

The Vancouver Lookout is an absolute must-do experience for anyone visiting this stunning city. Perched atop the Harbour Centre, the observation deck offers truly breathtaking 360-degree panoramic views that encompass the entire Vancouver skyline, the majestic North Shore Mountains, and the vast Pacific Ocean. From this unique vantage point, you can clearly see iconic landmarks like Stanley Park, the historic Gastown, and even Vancouver Island on a clear day. What makes this visit so special is not just the height, but the well-designed layout of the Lookout, providing ample space to walk around and take in every angle. The informative signs help identify key points of interest, enhancing the experience. We spent a good hour just soaking it all in, witnessing the dynamic interplay of urban development, natural beauty, and the bustling harbour. The glass elevator ride up is also a thrilling part of the experience. Whether you go during the day to see everything in crisp detail or at night when the city lights twinkle, it offers a different yet equally magical perspective. This Lookout

Staff were friendly and welcoming! Bathrooms were clean! It was nice to see some great food options available! We were there for a Whitecaps Game and got to be part of the flag procession, starting 11 flags and ball retriever which made the experience even more exciting!

Unforgettable VIP Experience! The VIP boxes at BC Place are absolutely top-notch! From the moment we arrived, everything felt first-class — private entrance, dedicated staff, and incredible views of the field. The seats were super comfortable, and the catering was excellent with plenty of options and quick service. Having our own private space made the whole event so much more enjoyable — quiet when we wanted it to be, but still right in the middle of the excitement. Definitely worth it for any major concert or game!

Great experience and venue, super hot in the summer bring a fan, make sure you don't bring a large bag because you'll need to check it for $10 dollars, huge hassle. Friendly staff, great view from wherever you sit. The open air helped with the heat, but come prepared to sweat

I went to BC Place three times in a week to watch the Super 60 cricket tournament, and each visit was an amazing experience. The energy in the stadium was incredible, with passionate fans creating a lively and exciting atmosphere. The seating is comfortable, and no matter where you sit, the view of the field is excellent. The giant screens make sure you catch every detail, which really adds to the thrill of the matches. The staff were friendly and efficient, keeping everything well-organized even with big crowds. The food stalls had a good variety, though I’d love to see more vegetable-based options in the future. Everything was clean, the vibe was great, and the overall experience was top-notch. BC Place is a fantastic venue for major sporting events, and I’m already looking forward to my next visit.

What a superb venue! Went for a Lions game. Can't wait to bring my grandson for a White Caps Futbol, or the BC Lions Football game. Food choices were great. But best of all, it was a quiet, immaculate operation. We felt secure and comfortable. Good job Vancouver!!!

Very nice stadium. 🏟️ It is a very pleasant stadium for watching games. 🤩 All the staff are very nice, and the washrooms are very clean. ✨ My kids enjoyed the cricket game a lot. 🎉

Best football experience ever. Food stalls are bit on a higher including a bottle of water. Rest assured 55000 capacity it will be amazing experience to watch FIFA World cup 2026

We had dinner at Hawksworth last night and overall, it was a nice evening out. A few of the dishes were larger than expected, which was a pleasant surprise given the price of dining out these days — always nice when it feels like you’re getting some value. That said, my main — the veal cutlet — was unfortunately overly salty. And I tend to like my food on the saltier side, so for me to say it was too salty really means something. The waitress was great about it and kindly offered to replace the dish. Shortly after, the manager came by as well, apologized, and offered the same, which I appreciated. I decided not to go for a replacement of the same item as I figured it might come out similarly, and while I considered ordering something else, I just lost my appetite. To their credit, they comped the dish and also offered a dessert on the house. So while the dish itself was a miss, the service was absolutely excellent — thoughtful, proactive, and professional from start to finish. All in all, I’d give it 4 stars. Not a knock on the service at all, but more a reflection of the food experience that evening. Would still come back and give it another shot.

Went to Hawksworth for our anniversary dinner and had a great time. Portions were solid for the price. We started with the mussels (really good), then had the pork & scallops and lamb chop for mains — both were excellent. Tried the cabbage and mushroom sides, but they were both so salty — would skip sides next time and go for another appy or main instead. Finished with the Basque cheesecake, which was just okay (not as good as the ones we had in Spain recently). Service by Lou was friendly and attentive, and we got complimentary bubbly to celebrate. Would definitely go back, just order a bit differently next time.

From the start of our venue search, Hawksworth stood out. We loved the York Room - it perfectly fit our vision for a small, intimate wedding. The space was clean, crisp, and had a timeless, classy feel that made it the perfect backdrop for our day. Emily was our first contact and was incredibly helpful, friendly, and informative, which made planning easy. Later, Marlen took over and provided exceptional support - she was attentive, responsive, and really cared about making sure everything was just right. Her guidance helped reduce any stress and made the whole process enjoyable. We went with a minimalist decor theme, but the York Room was still beautifully set up, and the atmosphere matched exactly what we imagined. Bryson did a fantastic job leading the reception that evening and even helped organize the tea for our simplified tea ceremony. The food was delicious, and we received so many compliments from our guests on the venue, service, food, and drinks. Everyone truly enjoyed the experience. We couldn’t have asked for a better venue or team for our wedding reception. Hawksworth and its staff exceeded our expectations in every way, and we are so grateful for their part in making our day so unforgettable.

Hawksworth is consistently the best restaurant in Vancouver. Elevated delicious cuisine and outstanding wine and food service. The tempura oysters were delicate and tasty. The inventive chicken with prawn mousseline was impeccably cooked, a typical expression of Chef David Hawksworth’s skill. The rum ice cream mille feuilles dessert was light and refreshing.

We enjoyed our experience at Hawksworth so much. Our server, Sam, was so welcoming and friendly. We had the best laughs. The food was amazing; we enjoyed beef carpaccio, burrata, ceviche, and the fresh porcini soup was divine! Best of all %50 off champagne on Friday!!

Great atmosphere, always a fun place where you might bump into celebrities. Food is outstanding, a bit pricy, but it's Vancouver. Feels like such a fun space in the heart of the city. Will definitely be back

We went to this restaurant for girls’ night and were unfortunately disappointed by the service. Our server seemed completely indifferent to us. They didn’t check in on us and forgot about our condiments. However, everyone else was great. The food was really tasty, especially the halibut and salmon— focaccia could use more seasoning, though. Overall, it’s a good place, maybe we just caught our server at a bad day?

Arrived from Alberta to BC from a 12 commute for a funeral to JW property. Booked this place because of availability only for one night . Used my Marriott points thinking this would be a nice treat in such a stressful situation. BIG MISTAKE! Due to a minor glitch and hotel policy on incidentals the check in process was a nightmare. Not only was no one accommodating their lack of professionalism, empathy , and service didn’t go unnoticed. Anyone who is a minority or person of color will be judged and treated like garbage. Maybe due to my image not being up to par since we were travelling, the treatment we received was not acceptable in any way . Manager on duty “Marianne” or Marianna needs to be trained again to be professional not judgemental and do what she is hired to do and represent the brand she works for . She washed her hands of it instantly with no solutions and ran in the back . I asked to speak to her again after the check in was done and was told she would contact me . Returned back to the property 6 hours later called down again to speak to another mamas on duty “Donna” . I sat in the lobby 45 minutes and watched as every other guest was treated fairly and with respect , offered water , help with luggage etc and at this point it was clear we didn’t belong here . Sad , disgusting. The manager at night said there was no notes saying for anyone to contact me but let it slip tha there were “ notes “ that my check in was not smooth as I the guest didn’t comply with the hotel policy ! So clearly the rest of it was left out and it was a one sided note judging me not that I was already checked in and wasn’t happy . For a hotel of this calibre it’s sad that paying guests and guests booking on points are treated differently. Points are still money . Everyone’s situation and booking are different and shouldn’t matter . Offering a bottle of water to someone checking in isn’t gonna kill anyone . It’s called service . Not to mention the room was just ordinary nothing spectacular the fridge didn’t work and there was no water or enough coffee robes slippers nothing was ready in this room. No better than a best western hotel . Was not offered help with luggage and no guest is allowed to use the bell cart. There was absolutely no service provided to me at any level as a guest . It makes sense now . As I was leaving I heard and saw the manager Marianna gossiping about me to the other front desk and bell staff . I felt like I was in high school all over again . Do better as not only are you in the service industry but as a human being. In 50 years this is absolutely the worst experience I’ve ever had . I will never stay at a JW property again . Not worth the stress and treatment . Embarrassing. Whoever is running this hotel really needs to see this and other reviews as I just seen someone else describe it referring to a holiday in as better ! I couldn’t agree more . Beware before booking at this property.

The food quality here is truly outstanding, with every dish prepared to perfection and presented beautifully. The flavors are rich and authentic, offering a wide variety of options that cater to different tastes, making it an excellent choice whether you’re dining casually or hosting an important gathering. The location itself is very peaceful and quiet, providing a calm atmosphere that is ideal for business conferences, meetings, and private events. The setting allows guests to focus without distractions, while still enjoying a comfortable and welcoming environment. Combined with the attentive service and elegant ambiance, it creates the perfect balance of professionalism and relaxation, ensuring that every event held here is both successful and memorable.

We stayed here for a night during the week back in April 1, 2025, when the building we live in had a scheduled power outrage. The room was very spacious and clean, great value of money spent. We just wished we did not have to go to office the next day, so that we could enjoy the room more. Staff was nice and friendly, especially the server who was a mother of twin at the executive lounge. Amazing lounge in terms of food, design, and service. As a tea drinker, I was very impressed with their tea selection.

Front desk taught what words to use, but reading claims of exceptional staff leaves me feeling like they are bogus. I questioned charges based on our conference rate “we have nothing on file”.. smarmy smile and have a nice stay face. Turns out I was correct, not sure who messed up but a proper 5 star hotel would have taken my question and figured it out. Bellman good. Didn’t meet any other service ppl. Restaurant yappy hour was fun. Parking is very expensive. Douglas rooms imo are fugly. Oh and plastic bags of ice to put in a $600 yeti cooler, bags leak water, plastic goes in garbage, that’s sustainable?? Ergh… New normal I guess.

I've been here on conference 3 times. Beautiful rooms, friendly staff, very enjoyable. This time, unfortunately, our door lock wouldn't work at the end of a long day. It required about a half hour or so for maintenance. Our surprisingly young manager couldn't have been nicer, escorted us to the hotel lounge and comped us drinks and food while we waited. Fantastic customer service, made everything painless. Loved my stay, thanks to all working hard at The Parq!

I don't think I've ever stayed in such a nice hotel. I loved how big this place was. There was multiple restaurants to eat at just within the hotel. And attached the a casino so you never have to leave if you don't want to. However, we did. We walked everywhere. Could walk to any time of activity or restaurant in 30 minutes basically. The rooms were clean. The bathrooms were great. Valet was nice. The staff was so nice. The food/drinks in the restaurant were great.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We had such a wonderful experience at the Marriott Hotel at Park Casino! The service was absolutely immaculate from start to finish. The staff went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and well taken care of. A special thank you to Arlina, who was so kind and accommodating—she helped us with our room and even assisted us with an upgrade to make my brother’s birthday extra special. We’ve never experienced such genuine, caring energy before—it honestly didn’t even feel like we were in Vancouver, as people here are rarely that warm and thoughtful. Her hospitality truly made our stay unforgettable. We are so grateful and will definitely be returning. Highly recommend! And our room!!!!!! Chefs kiss 😩💕🙏🏼🙏🏼

This is a coffee lovers coffee shop! I had an amazing latte (absolutely perfect) and my friend loved their espresso tasting flight. They have a small but concentrated menu - mostly featuring coffee (and a single tea option). Staff were lovely. Would definitely return here and highly recommend it to coffee lovers.

This cafe is a coffee conoisseur must. My cappuccino was smooth, rich and well-balanced. The brick wall and added decor emits an industrial, hip vibe. The staff was very friendly, including Chris, one of the co-owners. You can tell how passionate he is at his craft. I purchased a coffee upon his recommendation which he let me sample. I will certainly return in the near future. Thank you!

A must visit artisan Coffee shop in downtown Vancouver. This Coffee shop is also listed as the most popular in Vancouver. They have a very balanced menu with enough but not too many coffee style options which makes it easier to order. They also have the drip coffee option that takes around 4 minutes to prepare freshly. The staff have to be the nicest people you will find who explain everything with a smile. The coffee was distinctively nice with balanced flavor. The decor is chic and gives both a historic and contemporary artistic vibe. There is plenty of seating available, suitable for groups of four. There is also some seating available to the front glass wall of the cafe. Highly recommended.

Revolver is a *must visit* for us whenever we are in Vancouver & is—without question—one of Vancouver’s *best* stops for coffee lovers! The place is always hopping but they handle the line efficiently while not compromising their high standards for tasty lattes We each had two lattes at our last visit this past End-of-Summer weekend and it is worth it to wait for one of the booths to open up. The warm brick & wood grant a peaceful atmosphere for savoring your drink while people watching the constant parade of beautiful faces & trendy fashion We loved their music selection too! The baristas are friendly & take their craft seriously, serving consistently delicious drinks from cup to cup, shift to shift, visit to visit Revolver is clearly a coffee-centric cafe They are also in an excellent GasTown location with smash burgers across the street & gelato around the corner 👌 What’s not to like!? HIGHLY recommended 🤗

It was really good experience of espresso. Taste was very good Very popular place It was very hot weather So had coffee so fast and left lol It’s better to be there in cooler season

Was in town for a visit and wanted a cozy place to have a coffee and do some studying. The cappuccino was wonderful and the croissant was delicious, a bit on the sweeter side. It does get a bit busy and can get a bit loud with the music. However, it's a great coffee shop and has friendly vibes.

Came for the flat white. One of the best we have had in Vancouver but coffee and milk taste was both mellow and neither stood out. Texture was also on the watery side. For the almond croissant, it was served straight from the shelf. Although not heated, it was pretty good in taste and the filling was just the right amount and strength of almond taste. Wished the croissant was more crispy but it was delicious overall. Seating area was spacious and it was easy to get a seat.

We were a group of six and had to wait almost two hours, even though the estimated wait time was about 1 hour and 15 minutes. The staff made up for it with a nice gesture, offering us free coffee and a waffle. I ordered the fricassee, and it was delicious! The braised rib was definitely the highlight of the dish, tender and flavorful. But the real star of Medina Café is their waffle. I honestly can’t tell you how much I loved it, crispy, buttery, and perfectly paired with their toppings. Definitely a must-try!

We tried two dishes — one with lots of mushrooms and sunny-side-up eggs that had a new, slightly sour taste but was overall satisfying. The other was a steak dish with eggs and greens — the dressing was definitely the highlight of that one. The best part of our brunch, though, was the mocha! Made with milk chocolate and lavender, it was unique and delicious. Overall, it was a good experience for an easy Monday, but I’d say it’s not quite worth waiting in line for on the weekend.

I really loved this place! From the moment I called to ask about their gluten free options, I spoke with the owner, who mentioned his wife is also celiac, and right away I knew I would be in good hands. That level of understanding and care made such a difference. When we arrived, the owner was so warm and welcoming. He took the time to get to know us and personally recommended the Wolves Breakfast, which was incredible, especially if you are looking for a high-protein option. The matcha latte was also so good and really well made. I was told the waffle is a must-try as well. The only thing I’ll say is that besides the Wolves breakfast - there’s not much more gluten free offerings. Highly recommend Medina for a cozy breakfast with an atmosphere built on positivity, genuine hospitality, and great food. A true Vancouver gem.

The best thing about this cafe is the service. Aya served us and she was the KINDEST server/bartender I've ever met. Super sweet, warm, friendly, patient, and knowledgeable about the menu items. My friend and I went on Saturday morning for brunch. We asked her to take a quick picture of us when it was super busy and she agreed to do it with the nicest smile. We were really impressed by her proactive demeanour and friendly disposition. This is an excellent place to be served for weekend brunch. I highly recommend their Belgian waffle with the berry compote (not in the picture - we devoured it as soon as it touched the table).

food hits that sweet spot between comfort and creativity, and the flavours are consistently on point. Their brunch classics are famous for a reason, and the waffles with dipping sauces are basically a Vancouver rite of passage. The space has that lively, cozy energy that makes you want to linger a bit longer. Service is quick, friendly, and they handle the rush well. If you’re in the mood for a brunch that actually feels worth the line, Medina is still the move.

Good breakfast/brunch spot downtown! Despite the long line, the wait time was just 20 min for 2, pretty okay in my opinion. Loved the food, service was great, my only comment would be it’s a bit awkward being sat at the small-ish tables near the entrance and have 2 servers squeezed on both sides of the table. Besides that the experience was great! will visit again. :)

At opening time on Saturday morning there is a 50 person line, but it was worth the short wait. By 9:15 we were seated. I was amazed by the extreme efficiency in which this place handled the amount of people, but still providing excellent service! The coffee and waffles are absolutely delicious and you should definitely try it! For main we choose to share the Wolf Platter, which has a bunch of different things. I personally liked the steak (and sauce) the bacon, potatoes and eggs the best, but it was cool to try 3 different types of sausage as well.

I can never get enough of the tourist trap stops in Vancouver. Granville island is always a favorite. We love walking the island or taking the water taxis up into the harbor and walking back to Granville or taking another water taxi back. The water, architecture, and views are amazing. I love this city. Truly one of the most beautiful cities in the world.

Granville Island Market is such a beautiful spot to explore, full of colors, fresh food and local art. It’s definitely expensive, so most people just walk around and enjoy the atmosphere rather than buying much. Still, it’s one of those places that feels worth visiting at least once.

A very vibrant market filled with almost everything you can imagine… at tourism price. This should be a 1 time visit, go here for the vibes and maybe some of the restaurants, or the ferry. Depending on what you want, your wallet might not be having a good time.

An old industrial community has been renewed as a public market area! 1. If you wanna walk from BC downtown, Google map will play with you. It will say it will take only 15-20 mins to get there but it is only true if you are brave enough to jump off the bridge which is nearly 30m high. Take a bus, or rainbow ferry. 2.market offers small community of shops. Some good, some.... I would say ok. 3. Small food court is there but hard to find a seat so be quick about it if you do not have strong legs. This place is worth visiting especially knowing the history of it. Will be more crowded if you can access there from the bridge by walk without killing yourself.

Beautiful place to walk and listen to live music. There are a variety of fruit and vegetables. You can enjoy the view and shop at the local stores.

What a fantastic spot to grab delicious food!! Visited twice during our long weekend stay and loved it both times. Go during the week for a less crowded experience!!

Wow, wow, wow ... This place makes me want to move to the area. What an amazing and eclectic collection of foods, drinks, snacks, produce... It's a little overwhelming at first, but once you get your bearings and match the energy it's awesome. I can imagine living nearby, taking a water taxi to the market and just living my best life in Vancouver. This place is a gem. Don't sleep on it ...

My experience at Granville Island was wonderful! They have a charming market that is very well-stocked with a great variety of products, including many delicious cheeses, fruits, patisserie and foods. I made sure to try their very famous and highly recommended soup. Honestly, it’s a must-visit spot. Plus, the whole neighborhood is incredibly beautiful and clean, making the area really pleasant."

Granville Island is a must-visit in Vancouver! This vibrant spot offers a mix of: - Fresh food at the Public Market - Local artisans and handmade crafts - Live street performers - Craft beers at Granville Island Brewing Co. - Stunning waterfront views A perfect blend of creativity, community, and fun. It is also a tourist trap

Granville Island is a unique spot with a lot of character, though my experience was a bit of a mixed bag. As someone with no sense of direction, I found the layout of the island a little challenging to navigate. The network of alleys, industrial-style buildings, and indoor/outdoor market spaces had me doing a few loops! The gloomy, overcast weather that day didn't help, casting a slightly subdued and industrial feel over the place. However, the heart of the island is undoubtedly the Public Market. It's a vibrant hub bursting with life, where I loved wandering past the fantastic food stands and unique artisan stores. The location right on the water is a major plus. Being next to the pier made it incredibly easy for us to take a scenic ferry ride directly to downtown Vancouver, which was a highlight. I arrived fairly early on a weekday, so it was much less crowded than I had anticipated. The downside was that several restaurants were still closed until nearer to noon.

Most Visited It’s easy to see why this place draws so many people — it has that mix of light, sound, and life that just pulls you in. On a sunny day, the waterfront feels golden, with sailboats drifting past and music from the market carrying through the air. The outdoor shops are great for a slow wander, and inside the market there’s food from every corner of the world. And if you love cheese, the little cheese shop is a must.

Sept. 19/25: Haven’t been here for a long time as parking is limited and all pay. It’s too bad because it’s definitely a tourist destination and I’m sure the many businesses would appreciate more parking. The public market is a draw with its vast array of everything gourmand, sights and sounds enticing. Lee’s Donuts is a big draw here, look up for the filled donuts as the brightly coloured iced donuts are displayed in front at people level. Fresh filled cappaletta, fresh basil, variety of cheeses and pastry was purchased. Everything looks very fresh but not light on the wallet.

A lot of unique shops and vendors. Most shops weren't open yet when we came so we couldn't explore much. People there are friendly and welcoming. Some were not. A lot of the souvenir items were pricer than other places in Vancouver.

Granville Island is a wonderful place to spend the day! It has a wide variety of shops, bakeries, and restaurants offering something for everyone. You’ll find everything from toys for kids and pet supplies to handmade jewelry, clothing, unique gifts, crafts, paintings, and more. It’s also home to several theaters, and there are always cultural events happening — like plays, dance performances, and live concerts. It’s a very complete and vibrant place, perfect for locals and tourists alike. Getting there is easy too — whether by car, bus, sea taxi, or even on foot.

Interesting local museum! Lived in the lower mainland my whole life but visited for the first time as it was included with a book talk I attended. Really enjoyed it and learned many valuable things. I had visited previously as the price seemed a little steep for the size of the museum. However, it’s well curated and has some growing and meaningful Indigenous exhibits, which was great to see.

A great visit! The featured chair exhibit was my favourite, I had no idea so much history could be shared from chairs! The permanent exhibits walk you through the decades, and are extremely interesting and beautifully organized and we'll put together to make a great experience. Highly recommend the visit!

My Dad and I enjoyed our visit to the Museum of Vancouver. We learned so much about the history of the indigenous people of the area and the history of the city of Vancouver and the people that built and make up this vibrant city. The museum itself is laid out in a logical manner between the galleries and is accessible. The galleries are well researched and organized. The art and photographs displayed definitely are great points of references to learn more and understand better the city of Vancouver. This is an excellent museum for an visitor to Vancouver to explore!

The Museum of Vancouver is a hidden gem that brings the city’s past, present, and future to life. From Indigenous history to contemporary urban culture, the exhibits are thoughtfully curated and visually engaging. What makes this museum stand out is how it connects local stories to broader social and cultural movements. You’ll walk away with a deeper understanding of Vancouver—not just as a place, but as a living, evolving community. It’s a peaceful and enriching stop, perfect to pair with a visit to the Space Centre.

A museum dedicated to the history and lifestyle of Vancouver city, it houses the items from yesteryears in chronically arranged way to give a peek of way of living in city through the periods. Entertaining and informative, recomoneded for choldrens and adults alike. There are vending machines downstairs but during my visit, none of them worked, taking payment but not dispensing and returning the amount. The desk was also not helpful in resolution, telling that if the item is not dispensed, the amount will surely refunded. There are no eateries around, nearest being 10~15 mins walk, so prepare accordingly. Also nearest public transport stops are 12 mins away. Parking is easy though. Washrooms are conveniently located and usable.

Good local history museum, with special exhibits on rotation (we were there for a "chairs" exhibit). Perhaps a touch pricey for the duration of the stay (this tipped me from 5 stars to 4), but we enjoyed it all the same.

My favourite exhibits (1900s-20s gateway to the Pacific; 1930s-40s boom, bust, and war; 1950s the fifties gallery) are, unfortunately, rarely - if ever - updated... understandably so. But that also makes subsequent visits to this museum difficult to justify. These spaces are also incredibly small, compared to other museums (especially, in the international arena). I adore museums, but I cannot say this is one that is worthwhile for people visiting Vancouver. Though, it can be meaningful if you live in Vancouver, just to gain an appreciation of our history. (I do not think the grumpy woman at admissions helped our most recent visit - she seemed far more concerned about getting off work in 30 minutes.)

This is a beautiful and relaxing Classical Chinese Garden. We visited on a recent trip. It was $16 to enter as an adult. Inside we could enjoy the walk and relaxing atmosphere. They offered free tea and there was a room with a few traditional Chinese activities to learn or try. The Garden neighbours a park by almost the same name. The Park is free to enter, and if you were just looking for a taste of the experience, you could do that at no cost. The Garden looks over the pond that is shared by both the paid garden and the free park. Spent about 1 hour total between the 2. The exit is through a lovely gift shop.

It’s a calm and pleasant spot in an otherwise noisy town, but since it’s part of an open-entry park, the house itself doesn’t really justify the ticket price. Inside you’ll only find some Chinese-style furniture—unclear whether authentic or just styled to look old—arranged in a very bare interior with an equally plain garden. If you’ve ever seen original Chinese homes, you’ll find this one strikingly empty; if you haven’t, it may give you a very basic idea of how they look. The most interesting moment had nothing to do with the house at all: I watched a heron catch a fish from the pond right in front of me. It was extraordinary, something I had never seen so close before. That alone was beautiful. Otherwise, don’t bother paying for the entrance. Just walk behind the statue and you’ll enter the park for free. Nothing inside is worth your time.

Visited June 2025. During our walk around Chinatown, we came across this garden. We walked through a store and out the back door and ended up here. This was a great surprise in an overall depressing situation in the area. The garden is very peaceful to walk around and take in nature right in the middle of the city.

A peaceful place to soothe your peace, I visited the park and classic garden (entry fee) . I came here a few days after my dad's funeral. This has serenity away from the city life beyond the walls.

This place was so cute to stop in while exploring Chinatown. A little oasis in what is kind of a rougher part of the city. We just did the public portion, not the ticketed part, but we saw plenty of lovely botanicals and hidden paths and picture spots. Definitely worth a walk!!

I’ve been there twice — once in spring and once in summer — and both seasons look amazing. There’s a small garden that makes you feel like you’re in China. It’s such a calm and peaceful place where you can sit, sip your tea, and watch the beautiful fish swimming in the pond. There’s also a small shop where you can buy traditional Chinese souvenirs.

This is not just a garden, this is a monument to Chinese culture. A pure diamond in the heart of Vancouver. A safe place to rest and relax if you need a break from the city. It gives you the feeling to enter a bubble full of positive energy. Tea was great, the staff was more than happy to help you throughout the visit. What an amazing experience 🙏🏻

I’m originally from Asia and I can say that the food is good and authentic!! I love it!! It’s gooooood and reminds me of home!!! And it’s a reasonably priced!! The service is definitely above and beyond!!! Waiters are so nice, accommodating, and helpful!! Atmosphere is amazing!!! Modern, well furnished, and clean!!! We got the jellyfish, curry balls, and gai lan for appetizers and (bbq) duck, 3 kinds of meat (char siu, crispy pork, and hainan chicken)

The house special four-treasure bbq rice is so so authentic and delicious! The bbq pork & crispy pork are especially good. Beef curry tastes great too. All reminds me of the delicious food I had when travelling in Hong Kong (maybe even better)! Generous portion. Price is fair. Restaurant ambience is quite unique too. Will come again when I crave Hong Kong style BBQ!

Delicious meal and friendly service. We had the three types of BBQ meats (roast pork/soy chicken/BBQ pork), daily soup and a small side dish of jellyfish. Love the crispy skin of the roast pork and the tender soy chicken. The retro decorations brought me back to the good old days. Really enjoyed our lunch here. Got quite a bit of leftover to bring back home. Will return for sure. 👍 😋

TLDR; probably not the best choice if you’re vegetarian. We came for lunch and were able to get seats right away. The booth seating is def itself most popular though, and for good reason! We ordered the Gai Lan with Roasted Garlic Crisp Oil, Vegetable Egg Fried Rice and the Signature chef’s plate between the two of us and let me just say, that’s a lot of food. This is definitely a spot that is good value for your money. The meat was cooked really well, the sauce that the gin lai was in was absolutely delicious and very flavorful. The vegetable fried rice is definitely more plain but it is warm and hearty.

Food was amazing - the roasted pork was fresh out of kitchen and sooo crispy and the fat just melt in our mouth. It’s probably the best roasted pork I’ve had in this part of the world. Service was amazing too - our waiter was so pleasant and considerate of our kids bringing them water instead of tea; and forks instead of chopsticks. The toilets were clean. I’m definitely coming back!

Lovely BBQ store in the Chinatown area. A modern but also traditional atmosphere surprises me when I'm inside. I love their roast pork; the skin is perfectly crispy and airy. The pork belly is balanced between meat and fat. Soy chicken is also tasty, and the meat texture is not mushy like some restaurants. And a shout out to the staff, as I came at last call, but no one rushed me for anything, and he would even clean up a table so I could take a picture.

Chinatown BBQ has always been my go-to spot, and it never disappoints. The food is consistently amazing, and the service is always spot on. But this time, I was especially impressed by the BBQ duck. The server kindly offered to warm it up before serving, and that extra touch gave it a smoky, elevated flavor that took it to the next level—it’s easily the best BBQ duck I’ve ever had. The BBQ pork fried rice was great as usual, but the duck totally stole the show! I’ll definitely be coming back. Pro tip: ask them to warm up the duck—it really makes a difference!

Enjoyed a wonderful night at Pidgin, the staff were all so warm and welcoming. We opted for the tasting menu and were seated right next to the kitchen where we got a front row seat to all the magical creations. The food was divine, even tried a few flavors we have never had before. Also a bonus was that they extended an offer to make the tasting menu fully vegan, even though their website only mentions vegetarian. They were so accommodating and we all had a great night! Will be back to try the 10pm burger time!

This place has a lot of mixed reviews. Not many fine dining Asian fusion places so naturally as a person who has tried a bunch of Michelin star restaurants and all the high end places of Vancouver I had to try out. The food was mostly pretty but the taste and coherence of the flavours was atrocious. 250$ meal was the worst i ever had unfortunately. First off oysters are oysters I guess, fresh and normal. Duck was super chewy but was good, you practically had to gnaw at it out go for a full bite. Octopus was super chewy overcooked. Papaya salad was strange… peanut sauce with papaya but no meat so was like having half a salad roll Tofu was petty awful, inch thick layer of xo sauce oil with some soft tofu and mushrooms, super greasy and just tasted salty Beef empanadas were not edible, wayyyyyyy too salty like they dropped a tea spoon of salt into a tiny 11$ empanada. Trout was undercooked, not flaky, skin so chewy and not pan fried so it was like chewing gum. Flavour of the sauce did not work at all with the dish. Beef cheek was cooked perfectly but they literally forgot to season it so tasted like nothing. Whereas the rendang was overly salty and pungent. Dessert was good, ice cream had good flavour but the meringue was way too sweet for it. Overall a very poor experience considering for just a bit more you could have Anna Lena or Burdock instead. Maybe if they slashed the price 75% then it would meet the quality it deserves. But I guess the food looks pretty

Came here with our group of 4 so we were able to order a variety of dishes. Loved most of the dishes and not the mention the service was excellent and the servers were knowledgeable. Oysters were fresh with garnish that complemented the flavor Beef tendon chicharron were so fresh and crispy that we had a second order - can’t miss this!! Kimchi croquette was a surprise and was very well prepared with the right amount of crunch Ox tongue skewers were tasty, but personally would have preferred it a bit of crispiness to the bite. Overall with the sambal sauce added the savory flavor Octopus skewers with the puree was on the milder side, but the octopus was very tender Hokkaido scallops was better without the coconut cream as it took away the true flavor of the scallops Roti canai was piping hot and flaky and paired with the rich flavors of dipping sauce is making my mouth water as I’m typing this. We had to place a second order of this as well Korean rice cake had a bit of twist from the traditional flavor with the crunch from the hazelnut and wasn’t spicy or tangy, and still hit the spot Foie gras rice bowl was nicely seared. The chestnut and daikon lightened the richness of the foie gras and went well with the dish Beef cheeks were super tender. The parsnip purée and confit carrots added freshness to the rendang sauce Their special pasta dish with shitake mushroom and an onsen egg was one of my favorite that evening We closed the night off with the pavlova pandan sorbet and quince tart

An outstanding meal with exceptionally thoughtful service. We found every dish to be so well-crafted, flavorful and tasty, and the sake flights were creative and well-balanced. For two tasting menus and drinks, the price was very reasonable, and we’re excited to come back next time we visit Vancouver!

Generally speaking the food is delicious, especially the sauce!!!! Tbh for the price point, i’d give it 4.6 stars We got kimchi croquettes(2) , scallops, duck empanada(1), sablefish, and pork belly rice bowl. Everything is good except for the pork belly rice bowl; the seasoning is ok and the pork is kinda dry.

Absolute STUNNER of a meal. My partner is vegan and I am quite an adventurous meat eater. They had plenty of options for both of us including a vegan and non-vegan tasting. We opted for A la Cart. The roti is a must have with a savory coconut curry sauce. The foie unagi bowl has a whopping portion of foie gras and is extremely hearty and tasty. Would also highly recommend the eggplant skewers. The green papaya salad was very good, and has an umami-rich vegan "fish" sauce caramel dressing. Booked same day on a Monday and this place definitely deserves to be busier during the week. Make sure to order a Sake flight while you dine, the staff really know their stuff. 10/10 food and service!

We had an amazing dinner with so many tasty dishes! The flavours were amazing and the presentation was beautiful. Our server was super charming, communicative, and friendly from the start and made the experience, especially. And the drinks…omg.

Delicious Pho, best I have eaten. Portions were big and generous. Very clean shop and nice staff. Meant to add photo but my bowl was already emptied.

This place has the best pho in Vancouver. Don't listen to anyone else. If they haven't tried here then they don't know. I've been to all the other recommended ones and then some ,around Vancouver and this place is ....heavenly broth. 😍🤌🏽

We stay on Davie whenever we're on the mainland so we find food here and Pho Goodness is our go to place for Vietnamese meals. We've been going, eating here for years with no issues. It tastes good every time. We usually order pho soup in the winter and rice and vermicelli dishes in the summer. All delicious. Atmosphere may not be the best but who really comes here for fancy dandy. At least they leveled up their plating, they're very appealing and photogenic lately. Prices are still fare despite inflation and competition. Highly recommended. Go visit on your next pho craving 🤤

- one of the most pronounced, better Bun Bo Hue herb tastes out there. Although the broth was a little too heavy, like msg heavy, I really enjoyed the broth. Bun Bo Hue was $15.75. - while the Bun Bo Hue broth was a little too strong, the $16 "Pho Dac Biet" broth was a little too mild. The ingredients were ok. Apart from the mildness, no other complaints from family, which is good. - my Bun Bo Hue didn't have pig knuckles or blood curds, but it did had meatballs and beef briskets. The amount wasn't much but fair for a $15.75 price tag. I am content. - the $9.95 "Ga Chien" or deep fried chicken wings were ok. Small but ok. Deep fried yet moist. It consisted of 3 whole wings, including chicken tips - 6 parts in total. .

Cute place. The food is decent. The pho broth is on the salty side so I didn't end up drinking much of it. Decent amount of beef though I suggest going with #20 the house special as it comes with a heafty amount of proteins for only an extra 50 cents. FYI if you go with children there is no kids menu or smaller sizes. They do have high chairs but no booster seats.

Looked really small at the entrance, but it was a lot roomier past the counter! Nice clean vibe, service was friendly and quick, and the food was tasty. Wanted to order the mango salad but it was out of season so the papaya salad was recommended instead, and it was delicious, if rather heavy on the fish sauce

I cannot get over these salad rolls - they are the best I’ve ever had. Peanut sauce is delicious, and the portion is huge and I particularly love the pork one. I’ve come back multiple times for these salad rolls, and they are well priced considering what many other places are charging. I also had the wonton soup and it was delicious, super flavourful broth which I wasn’t expecting. The service is quick and friendly, nothing too fancy. Place can get quite busy at lunch time so I prefer to go around 1:00 during the week.

If you’re the type who always finds yourself thinking “I wish there were more 🥒” halfway through a 🍔—☝️ is your spot. Their burgers are juicy, flavorful, and loaded with pickles just the way I like it. 🍟 are crispy and addictive, and the Hundy IPA is my favorite pairing. 🍸Also, there’s a private door at the back… those who know, know. Great vibes, great food. Highly recommend!

We ordered a cheeseburger, a bacon cheeseburger, and a side of fries. I was really looking forward to trying this spot after reading some great reviews. While the fries were delicious — crispy and perfectly seasoned — the burgers didn’t quite meet our expectations. The patties were dry, and there was a slight off smell that made me question the freshness of some ingredients. I ended up not finishing mine, which was disappointing. That said, the atmosphere was nice, and I appreciated the option of beer and wine on the menu. I might stop by again for a drink and some fries, but I’ll probably skip the burgers next time.

The first time I came here I was blown away, they had a spicy special burger, and it was amazing. Even though there was a plastic cheese divider in my burger it was one of the best burgers I’ve ever had. The second time I came it was very average, the chicken burger was small, the fries were standard and a little bland. The taste was a little above average but nothing special. The third time I got the birira fries and they were ok, but the portion was nothing impressive and the fries have a kind of A and W pasty quality, which doesn’t bother me but they’re not much better than average fast food fries. It could have used more toppings and sauce as well. There’s also a bit of a wait to get the food even though I’ve been the only person in the restaurant twice so if you’re in a rush just know it won’t be quick. I’ll give it 4 even though most of my experiences were closer to a 3, just because that first burger was so good, but I won’t be coming back unless they have it.

The Hundy Cheeseburger was very good, but my wife and I were surprised how awesome we found the Cabbage Salad. We returned the next day for another salad.

Was really excited but unfortunately was quite let down. There was one couple that arrived before us, and three parties came in after we ordered to pick up takeout. We ordered two bacon, one was a combo. I swear it took like 25 minutes to get our order. Flies were just flying in the center of the space and the food was absolutely not worth the hype. Two burgers, one with an extra patty and one was a combo came out to 50$. The burgers were bland, not saucy, not juicy, and just overall really disappointing.

Sad to say I had a bit of a rubbish time there last night. I felt bad for the staff, they were clearly on the back foot dealing with a tricky order they’d got wrong with a previous customer and delivery drivers going in and out, but after waiting quite a long time for our food (the server was very apologetic, no probs, they were clearly busy) we had to send back our poutine fries as they were stone cold and we didn’t have time to wait for a new batch. After quite a bit of back and forth it turns out they didn’t have a manager key to issue a refund for the fries (happy to keep the burgers though, they were delicious). I really wish the team up front just told me that instead of trying to push back saying things like because we’d had a bite they couldn’t accept them back? In the end I just said I’d put them in the microwave when we got home, but I just came away feeling like I’d had an argument and I didn’t really understand why. The burgers were SO GOOD though damn.

One of the best fried chicken sandwiches I’ve had in a while! We also got the Oklahoma burger and it was super tasty. Fries were nice and fresh, with their Hundy sauce, perfect. But the cabbage salad, was to die for. Plus, they have Pibb. Wish I could give Hundy a higher rating, so good.
