Rumour has it, Oprah and Stedman bought out Savio Volpe for a date night when they were in town. We love it because the food's great and the space is beautifully designed. It's a bit of a trek from our place, but it's not far from Main Street if you happen to visit that neighbourhood.

One of the biggest waterfront saltwater pools in the world, Kitsilano Pool is a summertime favourite. It's great for swimming (long!) laps or for splashing with the family. Bring your own towels. It can get windy so we recommend you bring warm clothes if you're taking kids: https://vancouver.ca/parks-recreation-culture/kitsilano-pool-location-contact.aspx
