The kebab meats are ridiculously tender, especially the chicken. The chutney is delicious, but spicier than it looks.
Try the breakfast poutine -- you'll probably take half home with you, and it heats up really well in an oven.
Creative flavor combinations and friendly service. Try the matcha mochi red bean.
The veal is very tender. The eggplant parmigiana is available as a small side, and it is amazing!
Get the crown beef rib paired with Boulevard Tank. The baby back ribs are excellent as well.
Look for the Mediterranean snack pack. A healthy alternative to the ubiquitous chicken Cæsar salad.
Pretty loud and kitschy, but the service is enthusiastic and friendly, and the food is tasty and generously portioned. Their margaritas are huuuuge!
Good cheesy corn and BBQ sauce. Burnt ends were a little dry, but still tasty.
Very interesting free museum exhibit in the public lobby. Truman Car out back is worth checking out.
Great street-style tacos with a wide selection of fillings. Truly excellent margaritas. Decor may be more idealized than authentic, but it certainly contributes to the experience.
Skilled baristas using 49th Parallel beans, with in-house baked goods in a converted heritage house and a peaceful garden patio--what's not to love?
Lots of patio seating. Haddock is in a light, crisp batter--perfect. Fries are very good, in their own fryer, which is good for gluten-sensitive folks. Decent beer selection.
The fresh fruit slushes are really good. Call ahead to avoid the wait. Bonus: they take credit card!
A unique experience. Very friendly owners. Great Belgian ale selection. Can be a bit loud as its an old wooden boat.
The Alberni-Sechart run is about 3 hours. The captain will call out landmarks and wildlife. We stopped for a humpback.
Loved the decor and ambiance--perfect amount of kitsch. Food was excellent. Could use more Bavarian beers.
Beautiful, accessible trails through old growth, temperate rainforest. Informative plaques. Lots of tourists.
Helpful staff directed me to two of their last bottles of Crown Royal Northern Harvest.
Lots of reasonably-priced, often Vancouver- or nature-themed art, typically available in small or postcard form.
Great beer selection! Big fan of the Thursday night trivia (though the sound and video aren't great in all corners of the room).
