5 Best Street Food Spots In Vancouver
"This Indian inspired fusion street food is a must if you’re looking for something other than basic Western food!. This brings the flavor of India to Vancouver with popular dishes such as the mutton kebabs with curry and the butter chicken schnitzel!. They have a restaurant as well, but if you’re feeling the street food (which is why you would be reading this article), you have to check out their food truck."

"Vikram Vij has a monopoly on the Best Indian food in Vancouver—his restaurants took Gold, Silver and Bronze at our 2017 Restaurant Awards—and now he's getting in on the patio game, too. His newest room has a gorgeous rooftop setting with views of the North Shore Mountains, but you’ll to need to line up early if you want to see them: he doesn’t take reservations. 3106 Cambie St., vijsrestaurant.ca"

The 29 Best Places To Eat & Drink In Vancouver - Vancouver
"If you’re looking for a place where you can sit very close to someone, share food, and feel really taken care of, Sardine Can is one of the best spots. The tapas are the best in the city and while the space is sardine-can-like in size, it’s well worth the wait. Order the garlic prawns before you even sit down, and make sure to ask for lots of bread - you’ll need it to sop up the oil they come in that they could put on stale cornflakes and we’d still be excited about."

"Hand-made and gluten-free AND vegan (option) ice cream sandwiches are what make these treats stand out, for all the gluten and dairy free ice cream lovers out there (and even if you’re not). Chewy cookies stacked with a chunk of flavoured ice cream like the Elvis (peanut butter cookies with banana pudding nice cream) or Cherry Bomb (double chocolate cookies with wild cherry ice cream) make these drool worthy.

"If you’re feeling a little bit fancy and want to be magically transported to a cafe in Paris, a quaint little shop over in Kitsilano, called La Glace with their premier line of French ice cream that will surely hit the spot. Their award-winning ice cream is made from scratch out of a Creme Anglaise base: basically a thick custard made out of egg yolks and heavy cream. What you get is a richer and fuller mouthfeel."

Vancouver’s most amazing parks
"Home to one of Vancouver’s biggest farmers' markets every Saturday in summer, John Hendry Park buzzes with a local East Vancouver crowd. A walkway circles tranquil Trout Lake – a natural lake fronted by a small beach at the center of the park – and expansive grass fields provide the perfect park setting for outdoor concerts. Activities abound at the Trout Lake Community Centre, a civic-spirited, light-filled facility just west of the lakeshore."

5 Beautiful Parks in Vancouver You Should Visit
"Lovingly referred to as Trout Park by locals due to the beautiful lake in the center of the park, John Hendry Park was originally the location of one of Vancouver’s first lumbering operations that ran during the 19th century. Now, the park is a vast green oasis with a wonderful community center and an expansive ice rink left over from the 2010 Winter Olympics.

Your guide to exploring the best of Vancouver's under-appreciated parks
"Home to a robust farmers’ market on Saturdays, a small lake for swimming on one end and canine shenanigans on the other, tennis courts, a still-closed indoor ice rink and activity center, it’s got a healthy tie-dye/kilt/pierced body parts quotient and the air is often freshly scented with BC bud.

"The Shameful Tiki Room is so convincing as an indoor tropical island you won’t remember anything about the outside world while you’re there, including that you’re actually in Vancouver and it’s likely raining outside. You’ll find smoke machines, live music, thunder sound-effects, and the staff chanting things like “mystery bowl” from time to time. It’s the best place for a big night out, though since it’s small and very popular, save the hour long waits and make a booking."

"The Shameful Tiki Room is one of the most fun places to grab a drink in Vancouver. Once inside, soak up the super kitschy decor, carved masks, art, retro lighting, Hawaiian ads and postcards are scattered throughout the room. Without any windows in sight, the room is dimly lit, making it easy to forget about time while you enjoy the vibe and cocktails."
