Food Scene
A beautiful mix of elegant decor, welcoming and friendly service, fantastic prices and the most delicious food I've had! This place was introduced to us by our Sister-In-Law and has quickly become our favourite place to eat for a special night out.
Think "Cactus Club" meets Indian Cuisine! Absolutely wonderful experience! ( And great prices too! )

Wonderful Indian Buffet for around $15 dollars. The decor definitely leaves something to be desired but the food is fulfilling and delicious. Seems to be run by a family as the same staff are there every time we've gone for our fix of Indian indulgence!
The usual suspects of Naan Bread, Butter Chicken and you've gotta try the Goat Curry. I traveled to Nevis in the Caribbean and everyone was ranting and raving about this 20 dollar appetizer called Goat Stew. Well, this Goat Curry is identical and part of the buffet on a regular basis!
Basically think of it as sitting in someone else's Kitchen, sometimes there's no music, sometimes there's wrestling, sometimes there's Punjab Dance Hits!

Cute little place with great Thai Food. We really enjoy getting the Green Curry as a take out dish with some rice and spring rolls. Good enough for two people to share or enough for a meal and a half!

It's the McDonalds of fine dining! You get what you want no matter which Cactus Club you go to and it's always fulfilling, even if you feel a little indulgent afterwards.
Great Food, Great Drinks, Great Vibe and Great Scenery. Definitely a popular hang out for people living downtown or in the burbs. It's an extremely popular and successful chain in the lower mainland!
Check out their website as they have multiple locations, even one in Surrey/Delta, but this is definitely our favourite for the stunning location!

An incredible place to go if you've got an appetite!
This is a city favourite, all you can eat Sushi ( Sashimi included ) and Korean BBQ. That's right, you can grill your marinated meats right at your own table!
Very busy place, interesting ordering system. They will give you a sheet and you write down how many orders of all the particular items you want. Then they swing by, pick up your sheet and the food will start arriving quickly and en force!
Be sure to not over order, they'll charge you for excess. You can always order more!

A hidden gem, nicknamed "The Little Cannery".
If you love seafood, don't be fooled by the outside of the building, you'd be doing yourself a disservice if you judged the book by it's cover.
Inside you'll find a sea wharf theme which can come across a little strong, but the crisp linens and dignified, extremely professional staff and absolutely incredible seafood will have you telling your friends and family about it.
The owner / Chef is Edward Geekiyanage from the legendary and now defunct "Cannery" restaurant as is most of the service staff.
Definitely a Secret Spot that could use a make over, but the food has always been well worth it! I love the Mussels!

Enjoy a little more atmosphere than the Brewery and grab something to eat while you're sampling the best local beers Surrey has to offer. Connected to Central City Mall and the bottom of SFU Surrey Campus, it's the perfect place to fill a growler for later and enjoy a pint while you wait!

Another Mall to choose from. This one is a little more special than Guildford in my opinion because it's also the location of the SFU Campus. Plus they have the Central City Brew Pub there where you can fill up a growler ( a beer jug ) for around 10 bucks for 2 litres and take it with you! Great to take to an evening out!
This also is the home of T&T Market, where you can usually purchase most Asian foods and delicacies!

Essentials
While you may find a sale price somewhere else, this is generally the more affordable place to buy your usual necessities! Extremely large, you can buy everything from Motor Oil to Quails Eggs. There are many different Grocery Stores around the lower mainland that aren't seen in the rest of Canada. This one we've found to be the best value for the exact same products.
Great if you're staying for a long while or need to pick up the ingredients for a home cooked meal!

If you need something in a pinch and don't mind paying a little extra for it, then this is your closest bet. Great quality. Not the cheapest but also not the most expensive in the area.

Parks & Nature
Little bit of Park, little bit of entertainment, little bit of a walk, little bit of fun! This boardwalk spans along the New Westminster side riverbank and offers shopping, Volleyball, boat tours, ice cream, seafood or over sized loungers!
Easy to walk to from either Columbia Street Skytrain station or New Westminster Skytrain station. You'll find everything close by from restaurants, shopping or sand courts!
Google it and enjoy this gem!

Great place for the family. Enjoy walking through Nature or kicking a ball in the open park while your family BBQ's under one of the gazebos with provided picnic tables.
There's a splash park for the kids (or adults I guess!) and washrooms available. Nice and close, definitely my go to when I want to relax, take a walk or get together with a large group of people to enjoy the day!

Stunning views of the city and huge park to go for a picnic, to play frisbee, extreme bocce or go for a walk! Keep driving until you get to the top where there's parking a kids play ground. From here there's totem poles, Horizon's Restaurant, a rose garden and a bit of a path to walk around.
From this mountain you can see beautiful views of the city and walk around the corner to see the waterways and forested mountain sides of the Lower Mainland!
Great place to steal a kiss from a loved one!
Keep going up the mountain for SFU's primary Campus.

Drinks & Nightlife
Love it or hate it, The Roxy is a Vancouver Icon!
Around for close to 30 years now, The Roxy has been entertaining locals and tourists alike for decades! Live Music every night, usually has local artists opening up for one of their 4 house bands that play party favourites!
The music is loud, the drinks are proper and the clientele is unpretentious from every walk of life. If you're between 19 and 99 years old, you'll probably have a good time there!
House bands usually go on after 10pm. Open until 3am - 7 days a week.
Remember that skytrain stops running at 1:00am and cabs are expensive and... not helpful getting back to Surrey. Sleep on the beach and make some memories!

Sightseeing
Get a birds eye view of the city atop this revolving restaurant. You can go to the tourist viewing deck in the same building for $15 bucks or you can go to the restaurant for free and have $15 bucks worth of food or drink while you enjoy the 360 degree view of the city from the comfort of your chair!
Absolutely a stunning place to sit and talk with friends while you take it all in. Definitely a place I take my friends and family to when they come to Vancouver for the first time.
