Prospect Point Bar & Grill

Vancouver


A sparkling renovation has transformed this historic wood-beamed cafe into a full-service bistro and bar serving elevated comfort food from burgers to poke bowls to panko-crusted fish and chips. You'll also find BC craft beers: perfect for toasting your luck at finding one of the city's best patios, a tree-framed treasure overlooking the grand Lions Gate Bridge.

There's also a large gift shop plus a gourmet ice-cream stand here (salted caramel flavor is recommended). You'll likely spot a racoon or two in the vicinity; don't feed them or they'll likely follow you back to your hotel, board your plane with you and expect to be fed in your kitchen for the rest of their lives.
