EAT: La Régalade Côté Mer

Dishes like the rich, hearty lobster shepherd’s pie in a bisquelike sauce at La Régalade Côté Mer (5775 Marine Dr., West Vancouver, 604-921-9701) have earned this new family-run seafood bistro many accolades.

SHOP: Favourite

Canadian designers are showcased front and centre at Favourite Unique Gifts and Accessories in the Lonsdale Quay market (2nd level, 604-904-8840).

BUY: Thomas Haas

World-famous chocolatier Thomas Haas opened his own cappuccino bar and chocolate factory (998 Harbourside Dr., North Vancouver, 604-924-1847) in a nondescript, industrial stretch of land, but it’s worth the trek to sample his divine truffles and pastries.
