This restaurant is considered one of the best in Vancouver - a fusion of Chinese and French. They don't take reservations, but no problems as you can see their front door from the terrace, so you'll know when they are busy. The plates are meant to be shared. Note the photos on the wall, are the owner's family historical photos. Enjoy!

If you're a vegetarian like me, try their fries and kale salad at the Take-Out Counter. Or, pull up a table and their Mac and Cheese is a delicious warm hug for your tummy.

A local favourite. This beach much less of the gym loving devotees featured at Kits Beach. If your sans kids, definitely hit the right side. This beach is more isolated and takes longer to get to. Be sure to go on a full stomach or bring some tasty treats with you.

They are an independent, local business created out of passion, enthusiasm and a belief that floating, as a practice, can help the majority of people who decide to lie down in a float tank. The float tank (isolation tank or sensory deprivation tank) is an amazingly simple yet powerful tool that can enhance ones overall living experience. Whether you use it for personal development, physiological benefits, psychological benefits or a combination of sorts, we believe it has the ability to deeply aid and impact anyone who sets forth into the warm, cozy, silky blackness. Perfect for a rainy day!
