Seriously good Asian food restaurant. Call ahead and reserve a table or prepare to wait in line to eat if you show up. Daily line ups occur because the word is out - it's very yummy. Walking distance in the heart of Chinatown. Closes early.

Listed as one of the best bars in North America by Esquire magazine and the only one on that list in Vancouver. It’s just a hop, skip and a tumble down the road. A must see while your in Vancouver. Their martinis are rather good.

Lovely breakfast/brunch/lunch cafe within walking distance from your location. Head towards the mountains ( walk north). There is a bus that drives by so sitting outside can be interrupted by that but the upside is that bus starts right outside our front door (50 Granville) and can take you close to the restaurant. I liked everything on the menu.
