North Vancouver Travel Guide

Best Greek Restaurant: Antatole Souvlaki, bottom of Lonsdale Avenue. Chicken Souvlaki with rice, roast potatoes, greek salad, tzatziki, and pita bread: $17 (pricey for Greek, but the quality and atmosphere make it well worth it.) Try the Strawberry Daquiri or the Sour Apple Martini! Raglans, nearby is a genuine Tiki Bar with Monsoon Bowl cocktails and bar snacks. Just up the street a couple blocks and accross the street on the corner is another bar with a massive cocktail menu. Drinks are pricey for Vancouver but reasonable for the creativity involved. Lonsdale Quay is fun to wander around and shop, and outside there is live music in the summer. It is also a main transit hub of North Van, as all the busses that go everywhere stop there and you can catch the seabus, either for practical purposes or for the view. On the otherside at Waterfront Station, don't have the paninis at Jugo Juice, I got food poisoning. Lynn Canyon suspension bridge is FREE compared to the expensive and touristy Caplino Suspension Bridge.

The Lonsdale Quay Hotel‎ is absolutely fantastic.  I never need much from hotels myself, just a nice room.  But it's got decent views of the harbour depending on the position of your room.  But moreso, it's situated on the 3rd floor of a nice little mall with food on 1st and shopping on 2nd.  Plus the big kicker is that the sea bus is right next door, easy access to downtown without going over that horribly congested 3 lane Lions Gate Bridge.

Some of the friendliest people on the face of this Earth live here!  Found this out when I broke down and was rescued by a very nice family, who just happened to know how to weld my trailer axle!!!  They even bought me dinner!!!!
