10 Food & Drink in Vancouver That You Shouldn't Miss

September 12, 2021 Marlin Saiz

Vancouver was founded as “Gastown” by an Englishman with a penchant for beer and storytelling. Today Gastown is a historic section of the Canadian metropolis, and the lively pubs still reflect the area’s former status as a sort of community drinking center. The city’s forests, grand parks, and impressive suspension bridge beckon travelers to explore them, as do the city’s shops and museums. Relive the glory of the 2010 Winter Games with visits to Olympic venues and the marvelous Olympic Cauldron.

Historical Chinatown Tours

Here's how my tours work ... I customize them to what people want. I'm the only guide who can take people into the heritage buildings, the only one that has a Master's degree in Chinese Canadian History, and I donate money to the Chinese associations for upkeep and renovations. I take people into numerous clan and county Association buildings, to a herbal store, to a produce store, etc. Tell me what you want the focus of the tour to be and I will make it happen.

Dogwood Brewing

Reviewed By k8brit - Kelowna, Canada

As a big fan of their London Fog, I wanted to visit the brewery in person. It was a bit of a drive to get there, and it's kind of on it's own with no other breweries in the area that I am aware of. It was worth the trip though as there tasting room is spacious and comfortable (complete with dart board) and there beer is great!

A super sampling of one of Vancouver’s best craft beer AND wineries. Food looked very good. We were in for a one and done pint/glass so we did not sample the food. Staff were great,courteous and provided a historical account of the building. First incarnation was a World War II airplane propeller plant. Check it out.
