10 years ago I moved to Vancouver with the dream of living in a downtown apartment and write for a famous magazine. What I didn’t realize was that I didn’t speak the language, I had zero connections and that Vancouver market was one of the most expensive in the world. I got a job as …

Gastown is without a doubt, one of my Favourite neighborhoods of Vancouver! It’s full of restaurants and cool stores, so it is impossible to get bored in there! Today I want to share our MUST stops with you, so next time you are there, you can give them a try!
Here you can find the best brunch in town, as it is the place that has the best huevos rancheros in town! I promise, as a Mexican, I haven’t even try something like that not even in my own country lol! And their mini smoothies are our kid’s favs!! Hands down to this restaurant and their excellent service!
The famous Steam clock! Built in 1977, this antique-style clock is powered by steam and whistles, and everyone stops there for a pic! ( as you can see lol )
I’m not sure if this is considered part of Gastown, but it is a must stop for me! It is just something magical about walking there with that amazing view. If you haven’t done the FlyOver Canada, you HAVE TO!
If you want to skip the brunch and go directly to lunch, Tacofino is the place to go! Their fish tacos are my favourite as they remind me of the ones I love from Guadalajara! Yumm Yumm!
Native Shoes are a MUST stop lol! We can’t have enough of their designs! I believe the owner is a Local mom from North Van. What is special about them is that even tho they look like plastic, your kid’s feet would never smell LOL! seriously! I do not know how they do it!!
They are well known to have the best Cheesecakes in town! This is our last stop to leave with a happy tummy and a smile on our faces lol!
What is your must stop?

Mother’s day is around the corner, and if you are like me, you probably are waiting for your hubby to surprise you and take you for a nice brunch or something. My mom is back in Mexico, but I wanted to share with you what would be my favourite places to take her if she were here, so here we go:
I haven’t been in another high tea place, because we like this one so much that we always come back. However, my friends who are being in different ones, they always select this one as well! Their pastries are to die for, and the little house is a like a dream come true!
I went there when I was still pregnant with Matias, and I love it! If she is into sports, treat her with their Van body treatment! After that just seat for a cup of tea, a good talk and healthy snacks enjoying the beautiful downtown view!
I took my mom here last year and we absolutely LOVE IT! The stunning view, the delicious food, and the best part? You can take awesome pictures after or before lunch lol!
My favorite restaurant in White Rock, and one of my top 5 in the Lower Mainland! This restaurant was designed for US no doubt! They have a kids space, excellent service and don’t let me start with the food! Their Brunch menu is amazing! Treat her with their peach mimosas! She will love it!
Where are you going for Mother’s Day?
