Stunning views, towering trees, and lush grassy hills make local parks the perfect place for a stroll, a bike ride, and even a picnic or a fine meal. There are over a dozen restaurants in Vancouver Parks and the latest addition is the new Cactus Club on English Bay.

ENGLISH BAY: Cactus Club Cafe
A great place to stop along the sea wall, to and from Stanley Park, or to spend a whole in the sand by the water. This is Vancouver’s newest sea-side restaurant, located next to the bath house right along Beach Avenue. Stop by to try your favourite Cactus Club menu items and enjoy the sunset.

HARBOUR GREEN PARK: Mill Marine Bistro
This is one of our favourite watering holes paired with a view of Coal Harbour, float planes, Harbour Green Park, Stanley Park, and the North Shore mountains. Try one of their various Caesars on a Sunday morning after a sea wall stroll.

KITSILANO BEACH PARK: Boathouse Restaurant
A local seafood institution, The Boathouse is your best bet for brunch, bennies, and a lobster bisque. Enjoy great views of the city and explore Kitsilano’s waterfront or West 4th shopping district just up the hill.

QUEEN ELIZABETH PARK: Seasons in the Park
Atop Vancouver’s Little Mountain, Seasons caps off the lush and beautiful gardens in Queen Elizabeth Park. Another great sunset spot or brunch destination with panoramic views of the city.

Seasons in the Park

STANLEY PARK: Fish House, Prospect Point Cafe, The Teahouse, Stanley’s Park Bar and Grill
Hike up to the Prospect Point Cafe and enjoy a pint while traffic rushes by on the Lions Gate and tour buses line the lot at this famous lookout. Walk over to the Fish House Restaurant from the West End or enjoy a romantic evening at The Teahouse.

VANDUSEN BOTANICAL GARDEN: Shaughnessy Restaurant
Cap off a tour of the 55-acre gardens and seasonal displays with lunch or dinner selections from the West Coast-inspired menu.

GOLF CLUBHOUSES: Fraserview Golf Course, Langara Golf Course, McCleery Golf Course
Vancouver’s golf courses are a great place to get outdoors, practice your swing, entertain clients, and enjoy time with friends. The clubhouses offer a selection of dining options as well as event hosting and catering for larger groups.

To promote dining in Vancouver parks, Cactus Club Cafe has generously offered up a $50 gift card for one of my readers so that they can enjoy the new English Bay location.

    It’s been a while since I’ve been to both Stanley Park and Queen E park, but I have fond memories of both. Especially Stanley Park, and going around the whole seawall on a warm summer evening.

    Stanley Park is my fave, as this park was created/opened year 1888 by David O. There are lots to explore on this park as this is open all year. To name a few, you can look for the Lord Stanley statue,Totem Poles, Girl in a Wetsuit statue,etc. You are invited to one of the National Historic sites of Canada.

    I drive South on Denman and East on Beach every day on the way into work and every day I’m thankful to live in such a wonderful part of our planet. Watching the development on the beach side of English Bay over the last months I thought it must have been a city project due to the unique location…what a surprise to see it become a Cactus Club. These folks are truly at the top of their game – must be to have secured that spot…can’t wait to go.

    Stanley Park

  256. Erica Tuesday, March 13th, 2012 — 7:32pm PDT

    Stanley Park seems to be everyone’s favourite but mine has to be UBC Spirit Park since it was place to find peace during stressful exam time @ UBC for me 🙂 The scenery and beauty of storming waves are obviously the winner for Stanley Park; however, the calmness and quiet peacefulness at Spirit Park is something that connects your mind to the life of living souls inside the park 🙂 Also, seawall is great addition that allows people to walk around the entire park while enjoying the beauty created by the mother nature =) It would be great if I can walk around the park on a beautiful Vancouver weekend and enjoy brunch at the Cactus Club Cafe 🙂

  257. Gigi Tuesday, March 13th, 2012 — 8:55pm PDT

    I have always adored Queen Elizabeth Park. Love the flowers and the water foundations. I live closeby since I was young, and my parents have always brought me there. So much to explore there.
