breakfast – casual: $$
Abigail’s Party |
This unassuming 30-seat gem in Kitsilano is the perfect way to ease into the day after a long night out. What the restaurant lacks in size, it makes up for in atmosphere and the menu’s soothing flavours. Bring your jacket and sit outside. |

lunch – upscale: $$$
Glowbal Grill and Satay |
Great energy that successfully strikes the balance between playful and sexy.
So many options to dine – I prefer cozying up the 40-seat bar to be in the middle of the action. Canoodling on the illuminated cubes in the lounge or enjoying a quiet table in the dining room, suit me when I’m in other moods. Whatever you choose – it will always be a great time. |

Dinner – casual: $$$
Salt Tasting Room + Wine Bar |
Don’t let the location, Blood Alley, put you off. The room is handsome with exposed beam and brickwork. A delicious wine list features monthly bin-end events for an equally delicious price point on your favourite bottle of wine.
Don’t miss: charcuterie from the butcher platter. |
