Best Places to Eat in Vancouver

Today I am sharing some of my favourite places to eat in Van City, from small cafés to candy shops! Hope you enjoy!


1. Rain or Shine Ice Cream

The first time I walked into Rain or Shine, the smell of the waffle cones instantly hit me. The staff was very friendly and let me sample many different flavours before choosing. I appreciated that because I'm very indecisive. Seasonal flavours are made with fresh local ingredients. 

Where: 3382 Cambie St, Vancouver, 

What I Ordered: On Taco Tuesday a taco is a definite must! I chose two flavours; London Fog and a seasonal flavour, Malted Chocolate Honeycomb. And to top it off, toffee brittle. Yum!

2.Trafiq

Where: 4216 Main St Vancouver, BC

What I Ordered: Chunky monkey bread and a mountain berry iced tea. The iced tea was great! It had a little tang and wasn't overly sweet. I have never had anything else like the chunky monkey bread. I am not a huge fan of bananas, but I did enjoy this! It is similar to banana bread but with a creamy consistency and crusty top. 

3. Nanaimo Sushi

This is my favourite sushi restaurant! It doesn't compare to any other! It's very affordable and service is always quick. The portions are large so its a great idea to share!


Where: 350 Nanaimo St, Vancouver, BC

What I Ordered: Awesome roll (California roll with salmon, crunchy yams and sauce on top), Mangodise roll (California roll with mango and topped with prawns and a mango sauce) and miso soup.

4. Bâtard

Bâtard is an eclectic french café and bakery. It's very welcoming and a great neighbourhood place. 

Where: 3958 Fraser St, Vancouver, BC

What I Ordered: Chocolate raspberry cake, Kouign Amann, Financier, Chocolate tart and a latte (my family and I like to share all the goodies). 

5. Karameller 

Karameller is a Swedish candy shop in Yaletown. I love how fun it is to pick out your own candy. This candy is a bit pricey but the high-quality ingredients make it worth it. Plus, they have gluten free candy which is important because one of my best friends has celiac disease. 

Where: 1020 Mainland Street, Vancouver, BC 

What I Ordered: Some of my favourite candies are; Mini Stekta Ägg, Red ammo, Skogsbär and Hallon shots 

6. Chipotle

I know that you can get Chipotle in other places besides Vancouver but it's so yummy and always has a line out the door! 

Where: 818 Howe St, Vancouver, BC

What I Ordered: Burrito bowl (black beans, brown rice, mild salsa, cheese, corn, guacamole)

7. Sweet Bake Shop 

Sadly, Sweet Bake Shop is closing on August 16th. However, I still wanted to share it with you because it is my favourite bakery. 

Where: 1141 Mainland St, Vancouver, BC

What I Ordered: Usually I purchase macaroons. The flavours change everyday but some of my favourites are; london fog, salted caramel, milk chocolate caramel and vanilla sprinkle.
