You could eat your way through Portland, take a nap, and by the time you wake up find it’s time to try the new restaurants that opened while you slept. So you can be forgiven if you’ve missed all of the culinary delights being cooked up in Vancouver. Curious? Remove the mental barrier that is the bridge and plan an adventure over the river. Here’s your itinerary. Suggestions curated from eater.com:
Breakfast – Blue Door Bakery
This decadent French bakery serves a wide array of pastries and savory dishes. Don’t let your food allergy stop you, they can make even your caramel apple French toast vegan!
Lunch – Lapellah
According to Eater, “Owner David Mork was one of the first in the area to work with a local farmer, April Thatcher of April Joy Farm, to create a seasonally focused menu.” Well, doesn’t that sound delightful!
Afternoon Treat – Treat Bakery
Evidently Stephanie McNee’s bakery case is over-flowing with everything from homemade ding dongs to a wide variety of cupcakes. They also make their own ice cream!
Dinner – Little Conejo
Mezcal and tacos anyone? This hip, yet charming place comes to Vancouver from the minds behind Portland’s Noble Rot.
Cocktails – The Grocery Cocktail & Social
It’s a speakeasy-style place with drinks like the “Yas, Queen with gin, lemon, Brovo pink vermouth, grapefruit bitters, and sparkling wine to the Ideal Conditions with coconut vodka, lime, turmeric liqueur, cilantro, and hot sesame oil.”
Hotel: Hilton Vancouver
You’ll be too full to drive home, so snag a room at this conveniently located downtown hotel and pretend you spent hundreds/thousands on airfare on your little vacay.
