Food and Travel Guides for Vancouver
A rainy day in Vancouver did not stop me from heading to Go Fish for seafood by the harbor. On other visits, I have stopped for Japanese-style hot dogs, poutine, and breakfast at a diner on Granville Street.
Here you can browse those meals and plan a trip out to Lynn Canyon Park using public transport.
