Favourite Restaurants

Some of our faves within 15 minute drives
This is a fine dining restaurant on the top of Grouse Mountain which has breathtaking views and a very fancy menu. The gondola ride which is almost 40 dollars per person is included when you make your reservation. I don't recommend this for children.
