We made up for it by hitting the town/bars in the evenings wherever possible. Here are a few of the places we visited:
This was The Cellar Jazz Club in Kitsilano on West Broadway, which is said to be one of the top 100 jazz venues around the globe. It was a special night of exceptional food and wine coupled with live, mesmerizing jazz. The venue takes the music seriously - you cannot talk when people are playing; a nice touch. We'll definitely be going here again.
The Sunset Grill in Kitsilano. It's a traditional pub that plays all hockey games - a good choice as we both became avid Canucks fans for the week (as the Stanley Cup has started). The staff had great banter and Sarah - who would talk to a wall if left alone - made many friends throughout the evening. She also managed to swindle a free drink called a 'paralizer'.
The boathouse on Kitsilano beach; always stunning. We watched our second Canucks game here while taking in the views of the moutains/sea etc.
The Smoking Dog Bistro in Kitsilano. It seemed like a good choice until the mussels made me violently ill within the hour. Not a great experience, but the venue and staff were lovely none-the-less.
Milestone Restaurant is a chain in Vancouver, like Earls. Good food & chat but not as spectacular as some of the other venues.
