3 Tasty places in Whistler.

Lately, everyone has been raving about the Rimrock as a local gourmet hotspot. There is a Mediterranean approach to how they serve their menu of fish, game, and then there is the duck!

3 spaces we love in West Vancouver.
Bowen Island Ferry.
Need an island retreat for the day? Whether it’s a jaunt through the village seeing the local art studios, or a hike up the mountain.
North Shore Spirit Trail.
While training for the Tour de Cure we have found some great cycling routes. Right off the Lions Gate Bridge is this great 35 km stretch that connects Horseshoe Bay to Deep Cove. There are waterfront views of Coal Harbour, Ambleside, Stanley Park from the seawalls of both West and North Van
Whytecliff Park
Near Horseshoe Bay is this park overlooking Bowen Island, Howe Sound, and Gambier Island. It is a great destination for a picnic, strolling on the beach during low tide, and hiking. We found it a great destination when doing the North Shore Spirit Trail.
3 Lower Mainland businesses we frequent.
Ethical Flooring.
We frequently work with clients in this great local business. Not only providing ethically sourced hardwoods, but also broadloom, cork as well an excellent range of other flooring options.
Midland Appliances.
For many years our clients have worked with Midland to plan and implement the chef style kitchens of our clients. They service the Lower Mainland through their Langley, Richmond and Vancouver showrooms
Tolliday Carpet Services
Whether you need a tribal rug restored or authenticated, or a quality rug cleaned. They will provide superior service and workmanship. Door to door service for the Lower Mainland, Sea to Sky Corridor and Vancouver Island.
The Vancouver Spaces we adore close by.
UBC Botanical Gardens.
The University of British Columbia is located down from West Point Grey overlooking English Bay. One of the ways it is a great resource is their horticultural programs and store where you can find unique elements and inspirations for your gardens
Arbutus Greenway.
While training for the Tour de Cure we have found some great cycling routes. This landmark started life as a railway line that some still have a living memory of. Now it has become a 9 km artery for both walking and cycling in line with Arbutus St. Eventually connecting Vancouver with Richmond.
Southlands Nursery
Take your green thumb and treasure hunt through their extensive options out on Balaclava. They are a bit of an local institution.
The Rhododendron Walk.
One of our favourite parts of Stanley park is the Ted + Mary Greig Rhododendron Garden. It is a rewarding walk any time between March and September. The Rhodo’s are pretty spectacular when they are in bloom.
The Seawall.
Wrapping around most of the shoreline of the city is our 28 km long seawall. Whether you are walking or cycling there is a place for you to enjoy the water views. It connects so many municipal neighbourhoods together.
Comor Sports
We noticed Comor were participating sponsors of the Tour de Cure and have appreciated them ever since. They provide quality advice and help with all things cycling. They are also known for many other types of sporting needs.
3 things we love about West Vancouver .
Troll’s Restaurant.
This family owned restaurant in Horseshoe Bay is a local favourite for fish and chips. With a range of comfort foods on the menu it is a popular place to take advantage of their view of the bay from the patio.
Savoury Island Pie Company.
Try the Lemon Buttermilk Pie!
Crema
What is a destination for a finely crafted coffee while taking in a view of Ambleside Park is this café. It has a range of dining options including local seasonal ingredients, brunch, wood fired pizza, sandwiches and fine wines.
3 spaces we love in North Vancouver.
Cityscape Gallery.
This art space run by the North Vancouver Arts Council hosts many local artists and group shows. Its location on Lonsdale Avenue makes it a nice walk to the Lonsdale Market.
North Shore Spirit Trail.
While training for the Tour de Cure we have found some great cycling routes. This scenic waterfront trail connects West Vancouver from Horseshoe Bay to Deep Cove across 35 km of trails along the seawall and greenways. Its easy access off the Lions Gate Bridge
Buddha-Full
An imaginative space with soul and complete with indoor swings. A tasty eatery serving bowls wraps, smoothies, and homemade juices. The picture is from their Northwoods location .
3 Canadian brands we think are worth a follow.
Caning Canada.
Not only have we been a client. We are a fan of re-using pieces in our projects. This gem of an artisan and weaver regularly travels across Canada. Allowing Canadians along her route to have their heirlooms and mid century pieces re-caned.
Knifewear.
This Canadian retailer has locations across Canada. Whether it is a knife sharpening class or choosing a chef quality knife and accessory. They have you covered
BLANCO
This international brand produces their Silgranit line of sinks for the entire North American marketplace out of Missisauga, ON. There are more than a few reasons we recommend their products
