Food Scene

Best sushi in Vancouver. Go close to 5pm as they don't take reservations and there can be long waits to get in. The wait is worth it.

This is the oldest coffee shop from the origins of the neighbourhood as Little Italy. It's a three generation run cafe where they know their regular customers by name and memorize their orders. It's filled with character, both in the people and the decor.

Sightseeing

Avoid lunch hour on weekends if you want to avoid slow moving crowds thru the market. Definitely look at the shops in the Net Loft and souvenir shops on Duranleau street. There is excellent pottery at BC Pottery studio on Cartwright Street.

A great way to learn about the region's food system and local artisans. Enjoy food from some of the city's best food trucks. Chilli Tank and La Boheme are two of our favourites.
