Im sorry you had to try Tim Hortons, it was our family traditional Canadian coffee house and it was once amazing (sadly most people dont remember). it was sold out to Wendys maybe 20 years ago. The quality took a massive dive. They got ride of all the fresh doughnuts and timbit ( that use to be amazing (now they maybe have 4 timbits now and doughnuts are pre made fozen, not made in house). they attempted to put ice cream in at one time which failed big time. Tim Hortons is no longer Canadian , it just is Here in canada:( I hope that people will stop calling it Canadian! We have higher standards! Try 49th parallel or honeys doughnuts at Granville island they are more accurate and representative to what our prefered quality is here in Canada. Great video!
Next time, I suggest packing a lunch and go nature exploring. Start at the Lynn Canyon Bridge (a free suspension bridge), then drive to Cleveland Dam. At the dam, walk down to salmon hatchery. If the timing is right, then you can even see the salmon spawn. If you're feeling energetic, the Grouse Grind is not far away. After that, drive on to Horseshoe Bay and explore a bit. The scenery is gorgeous. Then head north to Porteau Cove for more views. Shannon Falls is next and if Grouse Grind wasn't enough, you can hike up the Chief. (about 3+ hours). Finally, drive up to Tantalus lookout, then turn around and drive back to Vancouver. Try to time it so you can make it to the Quercus point in Murrin Provincial Park in time for sunset. The hike up there is pretty easy, takes about 30 minutes. So if sunset is 7, get started on the hike at 6pm. IMO, best sunset ever. Bring a flashlight because it'll be dark going down.
I’ve been following you for years and really enjoyed these long-form travel/foodie vlogs. You’re such a natural in front of the camera. Keep up the good work. Looking forward to more videos like this in the future.
Hi Albert, thank you so much for the kind words! I don’t typically do these “food tour” style videos so I’m glad you appreciate them. Will be creating more in the future and thank you for being such a long time follower!!
Rachel, if you ever come back to Vancouver may I suggest a place called Honey donuts & goodies. It's a cozy little bakery/cafe tucked away in the village of Deep Cove on the North Shore (North Vancouver). The baked goods are fantastic and the people are friendly.
Ok, you totally ordered wrong at Tim’s!! I just started watching this and was like No!!!!! Drink - Ice Cap, Double Double or steep tea with 2 cream and 1 honey as for doughnuts: Honey Crueler and a Maple Cream are what you should try and eat. They are faves and you won’t get the maple cream in the US!
Hi Rachel I feel you hit most of the great places to eat…. Being an x local New Town Bakery is known for their baked cha sui boas, steamed cha sui boa, the dai boa meaning big boa which has a few different meat inside such as chicken, Chinese sausage, shiitake mushroom and egg… There is a custard pie as well… They are known for their apple tarts but it’s not to be eaten the next day it does not taste good… I have had it while it’s still hot and you will appreciate it more … The pineapple bun is not their specialty although you said it was good…to be fair one must eat on the same day or right after your purchase, you will taste the difference. Although Tim Horton May have been an ideal place for donuts you might try Lee’s Donuts in Granville Island Market next time… Phnom Penh is a great choice the chicken wings are a must it’s always good to go early as parking is limited or go off hours after the luncheon rush… or early dinner … Overall you did a great review keep up the great work…
Yes. Classes places, exactly where I want to go. Did you pick the best pineapple bum there was? My god , it looks so good. That ARB is fully booked!!! lol thanks for planning out my trip. OMG I can't wait to go.
Awesome. Haha that tim hortons is close to me. Don’t waste money there. The Starbucks next to it is better. Try dynasty for amazing dumplings. They always have a lineup at their downtown robson location. Try Jam cafe for breakfast/brunch it’s amazing or chambar. For coffee try 49th or Cafe Artigano, Prado cafe or nemesis coffee. If you want donuts try Mello in Chinatown they are epic. For croissants try Agnes T in Yaletown. Phnom Penh is amazing. A definite must!
If you like malaysian food go to bannana leaf theres several get the abundance of seafood in gui lai sauce dam good, beef randag the sauce is good but they use stew meat its dry but everhthing else is very good
Great vid we live in Vancouver area, Lees donuts 1000x better than Tim Horton’s (owned by US company): can I suggest not promoting AirB&B’s housing is so hard to find cause owners make money on short term rentals, if you eat out why have a place with cooking? Just a thought. We will try some of your finds
I hate to say it. Without trying the dim sum or the Cantonese cuisine in Richmond. You can’t really say you’ve been to Vancouver. 😅 it’s top notch in North America
That can hardly qualify as poutine. A poutine is 3 simple ingredients; thick cut french fries, cheese curds and sauce. I'd give a pass on the fries, but the melted cheese is blaphemous😥
@@eatsbyrachel Timmy's is convenient but it is what it is - fast food. When it was small the donuts used to be fresh but now they come in frozen. I would highly recommend their Iced Capps though - super tasty and cheap. The funny thing is, Mcdonald's Canada coffee now tastes better than the Tim's (apparently they bought Tim Horton's old coffee supplier), probably some of the best cheap coffee you'll get here. If you want a fantastic local chain donut + coffee shop, I recommend 49th and Parallel. If you want another that's truly hole-in-the-wall and a local favourite, I would recommend Duffin's Donuts - very iconic, some of the best value to taste ratio for donuts, and depending on how late you go it might be fun to people watch.
I used to live beside Granville Island. I would walk out my backdoor directly to False Creek Community centre. I agree with her opinion of the public market. I would often get sensory overload walking in there. I hate going there now as parking is a joke and the parking nazis are all over the place. Even people who work there have to move their cars!! The food there was great and fresh. I can't comment on the quality/price now as it's been forever since I was there.
