Food Scene
Freshly baked simit (reminiscent of a Montreal-style bagel), coffee, snacks, fresh-squeezed juices, tons of gluten-free/hippy/healthy options. A local baby-haver favourite spot; prepare for a sea of strollers.

I included this spot because there is a beautiful, sprawling back patio and you would never guess from the storefront. Inexpensive and laid-back Portuguese chicken and cheap beer.

Tiny brunch spot that can literally do whatever the fuck they want and people will line up out the door to eat it. You'll believe the hype. Get the espressado (trust me), but share it. Double check the hours because they're inconsistent.

Drinks & Nightlife
Located just south of King Street, Bar Buca is often overlooked by tourists. Old-school Italian fare with an excellent wine list. Kitchen open until 2am. Then get up the next morning and grab a double espresso and a cornetto at the standing bar, just like in Italy. They'll even pour you tiny glasses of sparkling water to wash it all down.

King Street cuts through Stanley Park, so on the north side there are ping-pong tables, a basketball court and a playground. On the south side, there's an enclosed dog park, a small swimming pool and a baseball diamond.
