Iconic Spots

Vancouver classics, opened decades ago, still pulling a line.

The places people flew in for, bring their parents to, and mention in group chats for years. From the seawall to the art gallery to the century-old dim sum room — the spots that define the city.

Open in Whim to plan it together — guest RSVP, no signup needed.
