About 10-15 mins of a walk to this serene and beautiful location. Sit outside and people-watch, as you grab lunch from a nearby restaurant or food truck. Or enjoy the gorgeous view of the water, mountains, and nature. Itching for more? The pedestrian and bike-friendly seawall is just steps away! Head west to discover more of Vancouver's south false creek area... you'll eventually pass by Granville Island (another touristy location). Or head east/north to Vancouver's northern false creek area... you'll pass by Science World. Come by around sunset time, and catch a spectacular sunset! Get your camera ready!

Cold weather usually draws people towards hot and steamy soups, stews, and chilis. A small gem of a cafe that offers freshly made items that are locally prepared in Vancouver. The items are frozen and ready to use. Simply heat and serve. Personally, I love the chicken coconut curry soup, and my husband loves the Mac and Cheese entree. About 3 blocks away from the loft! https://vancouversoupcompany.com/
