Great coffee, delicious treats and sandwiches. The large glass windows give a view of the drive and the park and is a nice reprieve on a cloudy rainy day.

Best sushi although after eating sushi throughout this city I think Commercial Drive has some of the best sushi restaurants with the best prices. Try the Thailand roll here. They will deliver free for an order over $25 or walk to the commercial drive location in under 10 minutes.

A fixed price ($39!) 3 course French meal. Cute and quaint little spot 1 minute from Condo. Absolutely stellar food and service. Best to make reservations if possible as it's always full. A 5 star meal for a budget price.

Authentic Mexican - a little more pricey and unique than just burrito's and taco's. Fantastic margarita's and cocktails, lively atmosphere and a daily happy hour!

Parks & Nature
Ask me for directions to this gem especially if you have a car and are here with your pooch. It's a 15 minute drive from the condo and you will feel like your are hours away from the city. Nothing but nature trails, huge trees and a river great for cooling off in the summer. A popular off leash area for dogs and humans alike and where I spend my free time in the summer.

Stanley Park

This area is a must see if you have a car. It is a beautiful little community nestled among the mountains and ocean and has a main street with shops, restaurants etc. Aside from just taking in the beauty of this area, my fave thing to do is to rent a stand up paddle board or kayak in the summer. It is one of my favourite things to do in Vancouver on a warm sunny day when I want to be on or near the water - which is just about always!
