Make a reservation. They got a Michelin Bib Gourmand rating in 2023. Weeknights are often OK to walk in, but on the weekends we recommend a reservation. All of the good is fantastic. Extensive menu. Crappy wines though, so we suggest you bring your own bottle if you want nice wine. The corkage fee to bring your own wine is around $25.

Less crowded, mostly rocky shoreline with a few logs to sit on. The far end of the beach is home to an off-leash area for dogs. Get your puppy fix, or avoid the area if that’s not your jam.

If you’re up for a challenge, the Grouse Grind is a gruelling uphill hike on an uneven but well maintained trail. You aren’t allowed to hike down, so bring enough money to have a cold beer and lunch at the top. Visit the bear rescue before taking the gondola back down.

Bike friendly city.

If you have a little bit of energy to spare, riding around the city is amazing. There are bike maps available online that are updated regularly. Separated bike lanes and designated bike routes connect most areas of the city safely.
出行

The Aqua ferries are a great way to zip across False Creek.

There are two different companies that run water taxi services linking top destinations along False Creek. Links to their websites are in the guide under local services.
