Elisa Wood-Fired Grill | The premier Vancouver destination for fine ...
Highly recommend the Wagyu beef carpaccio, the salt and pepper calamari and the Mac and cheese with lobster added. Every time I visit Riley's the service is impeccable. Great birthday dinner location or even a fun happy hour with the girls.
Riley's Fish & Steak

Went for my birthday last year, I highly recommend the Caesar salad and steak. Tried the beef Wellington but it was a personal favourite of mine. Service was lovely
Hy's Steakhouse & Cocktail Bar
Went for my birthday and enjoyed the experience. The sushi was good, definitely recommend the wagyu nigiri. The steaks were great as well. We tried the Mac and cheese waffles and this was a pass.
The Victor
Quintessential Vancouver place to eat. LOVE the tuna stack. I don’t know why they always rotate it off the menu. Love the hot chicken and pickles, the peppercorn steak and the chicken wings. Salads are great, wish they brought back the rain coast, bu...
Cactus Club Cafe
The broth is good and the toppings are great. Be careful or else your bowl will be $60 🤣
Big Way Hot Pot

The Valley Bakery
Must visit location, staff are very friendly and the options are very good.
Canada - Haidilao
Tried Hello Nori for the first time last week and it was delicious! The fish was so fresh. My absolute favourite was the blue fin tuna. They say the best seller is the Truffle lobster roll
Hello Nori – Canada's Premier Japanese Hand Roll Bar
This is my FAVOURITE Earls location. I love the bar staff! definitely a must visit
Earls Kitchen + Bar - Brentwood - Burnaby, BC on OpenTable
Love their sushi and miso soup. Even the tea that they serve is interesting with a unique flavour - not the typical jasmine or green tea.
Namiya Sushi House

Perfect hangout spot in the summer. Lots of events like firework celebrations or just a nice way to spend some time soaking in the sun
English Bay Beach
I love coming to false creek to sit by the water and read. There is a cute little boat you can take from port to port and then a few restaurants nearby to make it a fun day activity.

I love this bookstore! They have unique books that I can never find in other stores. They are super informative and helpful. I stop by a few times a month.
Companion Books
If you love fragrances, especially niche fragrances, I highly recommend checking out scentrique. They are so knowledgeable and helpful so you find exactly what you are looking for. For my gourmand lovers, definitely check out Maison Mataha

Love the strawberry matcha! The salmon Benedict is super yummy. And the croissant breakfast sandwich is delicious. I’ve tried a few hollandaise sauces but this may be my favourite
C Market Coffee
This may seem crazy but I love the coffee shop in whole foods for my morning cup. Especially the berry chantilly or the brown butter latte. Phew
Brentwood Store | Whole Foods Market
Obsessed with their strawberry matcha! They also have a delicious breakfast sandwich.
