I regularly tell anyone that listens that the BEST facial in town is at Breathe Spa, a wonderful boutique spa downtown that I plan to frequent forever.

Looking for some proper Italian food? It’s at Lupo Restaurant, located on the edge of Yaletown. I dined here with a group of people a few weeks ago and loved the food, service, and restaurant ambience. The entire menu reads of deliciousness, and deciding on your courses will be tough.

My top two favourites : Hangar Steak and frites for $20. Amazing taste, great value (they also have New York, Tenderloin, and Filet Mignon cuts for more $$) [...]

To be honest, Yaletown is not my favourite Vancouver neighbourhood. That said, I seem to be alone in this feeling as most of my friends live and love the ‘hood. So, I do get to Yaletown once in a while. But, there’s FINALLY a fantastic reason to go! I ordered a Chocolat-Banane cake from Ganache [...]
