My Favourite Restaurant
From the school, go along Terminal Avenue towards Science World. Hang a left on Main, and go up a few blocks to 2nd Avenue. Turn right. You'll see Maple Leaf Storage on your left. The restaurant is also on the left, just across the street from Maple Leaf Storage. It's in an old brick building, at the corner of 2nd and Quebec. The entrance is hard to spot, so look for the sign: Organic Lives.
What's your favourite Vancouver restaurant? How do you get there? Please leave a comment.
From the school, go along Terminal Avenue towards Main Station, then turn right onto Main Street and go straight to Dusmuir Viaduct and next turn left and merge to Dusmuir Viaduct, drive along to Burrard Street. When you see the Burrard Skytrain Station turn left and go until to Robson Street and then turn right and go down this road. After pass the Thurlow Street, you will see the Gap Store on your right. The restaurant is across from Gap Store and above the Cactus Club Cafe. It's small entrance, so look for the sign: TROPIKA RESTAURANT.
ReplyDeleteFrom SEARS, go up along Robson Street until Burrard Street and make a left. You can see Blenz and Subway on your left. The next building is JOEY BURRARD RESTAURANT. Great place to watch the Canucks games, excellent service, and yummy food too!
ReplyDeleteI'd like to let you know about 'DARIWON', a Korean restaurant that has a varied menu. If you're taking the Skytrain, get off at 'King Edward Station' on the the Canada line. You'll see Safeway on the southeast corner. Cross the street to the Safeway and you'll see the restaurant next to Safeway. It's easy to find!
ReplyDeleteFrom the Waterflont station, take the seabus, get off the Lonsdale Quay. Next, go up Lonsdale Ave until you get to West 16th street and turn left. You'll see ICBC bank on your right. Then keep going straight and the restaurant is the 3rd building on the right. The restaurant name is CAZBA. It's my favorite Persian restaurant!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite restaurant is Kirin Seafood Restautant. From my school, go along Terminal Avenue towards Cambie Street, then turn left onto Cambie Street. You keep going until 12th Avenue and then hang a right .It is on the corner of Cambie St. and 12th Avenue. You will see a large green building on your right-hand side. You can not miss it!
ReplyDeleteMy favourite restaurant is the Dockside restaurant on Granville Island, because it has good food, nice view and relaxing music.
ReplyDeleteTo get there from our school, turn right to Main Street, left on Main Street to 2nd Avenue, right on 2nd Avenue (which turns into 6th Avenue and 4th Avenue) to Granville Island. The restaurant is located in the Granville Island hotel.
The Foundation is a great restaurant in Main Street.
