Sit-Down Dinners

Osteria Savio Volpe

Marisol is “pretty picky” when it comes to good Italian food, so it makes sense that she adores this eatery. It’s the perfect spot for family-style dining (so you can sample a bit of everything!)

Italian Kitchen

Miku

Marisol’s favourite dish here is the Salmon Oshi, which features pressed and flame-seared BC sockeye salmon. She claims she wasn’t even a sushi fan until she came to Vancouver – go try this opinion-changing dish and see what you think!

Sweet Treats

Beaucoup Bakery

Thomas Haas Chocolates

Temper Chocolate & Pastry

Some of the most beautiful (and delicious) chocolate and pastries in the whole city are made here! They’re almost too pretty to eat… but Marisol doesn’t seem to have a problem with eating them, and you shouldn’t either.
