For a fine dining experience with great views of the water and the North Shore mountains, head to the Stanley Park Teahouse. Whether you dine in for brunch or dinner, the food and the atmosphere at the Teahouse are excellent. I have visited it many times, including for an anniversary, and they make you feel special every time. The service is always remarkable and the food is always delicious. My go-to order is the Nicoise Salad. They’re especially known for their fresh seafood, so be sure to ask about the special of the day.
After you dine, head down to the Stanley Park Seawall for a lovely walk by the water. You’ll be treated to some of the most sought-after views on the West Coast and a nice fresh sea breeze too. If you visit in the winter be sure to layer up, as it can get quite chilly, but it's well worth the visit.
