There is more to Kitsilano than just its beautiful beaches. Kitsilano is home to some of the best restaurants and shopping in the city. Located near the beach and UBC, Kitsilano has distinctly vibrant and upbeat atmosphere. Avoid the rush downtown and spend a relaxing afternoon in the neighbourhood by the beach.
Your Sporting Goods Destination
If you are any sort of an outdoors enthusiast then you’ll want to make a stop on West 4th for some serious shopping. With over 20 outdoor and sporting goods shops, you’ll find everything you need to stay active. From bikes to surfboards West 4th has it all. Unlike your big box stores, you’re guaranteed to find excellent service, unique products and some great local brands. In fact, West 4th is home to the very first Lululemon store - it’s from this very location that the brand grew into an international sensation. Right now is a great time to stop by the shops and stock up on you winter essentials for next year. With the ski and board season coming to an end, almost all winter gear is 30-70% off.
Las Margaritas
It may not be considered the most authentic Mexican in the city, but that hasn’t stopped Las Margaritas from being voted one of Vancouver’s best restaurants. Its cantina-style look makes you feel like you’re on a movie set. If you have a large party, this is the place to go. Not only is the dining area huge, there is a 60 seat patio. The food is amazing, the servers are enthusiastic and wait time is short. If you get the opportunity to go, you’ve got to try the enchiladas and sizzling fajitas. Remember it’s called Los Margaritas for a reason, so make sure you order a margarita... or two.

The Eatery
If you love sushi and are feeling adventurous then you need to visit The Eatery. Known for it’s wild sushi-fusion and outrageous decor, The Eatery is an experience all to its own. As a coastal city, Vancouver is known for its sushi. While there are many excellent ‘classic’ sushi options, this eccentric restaurant does not compromise on taste or quality. Here, you’ll find the famous Captain Crunch, Andy Worhol and the Electric Banana rolls, just to name a few. The extensive menu makes it hard to choose what to eat first. If you can, go to The Eatery in a group, that way everyone can order a roll or two and you can try as many rolls as possible. My favourites are the KFC and the Jalapeno popper.
