Les Faux is an institution in our hood and was one of the first more upscale restaurants to move into the neighbourhood years ago. It's a classic French bistro at a low price tag. Most mains are around $20 and they have an excellent bar. You can't go wrong with their original recipe French onion soup or Steak & Frites. They have lots of seasonal specials too.

Savio is a trendy, upscale Italian eatery that people rave about and reservations need to be made months ahead. But hey, you're in the neighbourhood so you can drop by at 5 and put your name down for a table or eat at the bar. It's also a favourite place to drop by and have a drink at the bar. Their summer spritzers are off the charts.

Great cocktails. Interesting retro kind of vibe and a very interesting chef. Check it out if you want something more low key than Savio Volpe.

Upscale sports bar that doesn't feel like a sports bar. Great place to catch the game and drink a pint, but there's also a restaurant side for families. Our son's favourite...likely because of the basketball hoop and other games.

If you are gluten free, you are in luck. This place is excellent and is so close! I prefer their drip coffee here over Matchstick and I love their smoothies. We always stop on the way to the park.

Sightseeing
Robson park is where we go to walk our dog or if our son wants a play on the playground. There's also free public tennis courts & basketball courts and many people throw down a blanket on the grass in the summer.
