Did you know? The Vancouver Aquarium’s coelacanth — a prehistoric looking fish that was only discovered in 1938 — lived about 400 million years ago and is one of the few species of the Devonian period that are still around today. Dining options: There are two restaurants with absolute energy that you can feel when you walk through the door: Bishop’s on 4th Avenue, and Vij’s on Cambie Street . And the food is exceptional: your guests will not be disappointed.
Dining options: Joe Fortes never disappoints and its service is excellent. If you’re a fan of oysters, this is the place. Alternatively, you can scope out noddle houses, cafes or ish and chip places on Denman Street.
