Summer Tappy Hour is best done at Provence Marinaside. Take in the views of Yaletown Marina and the gorgeous Vancouver Seawall. Make sure to sit on the lounge Patio, and definitely order the gnocchi du jour as one of your small plates. If there are 2 of you, order 5 small plates for a satisfying meal. When you're done, grab a gelato a few doors down at Baggio, and take a stroll along the seawall to burn off those calories you just indulged in!

Healthy Eating
I honestly believe most restaurants in Vancouver can cater to most diets, and that healthy choices are on all menus as long as you are choosing something that isn't a "Greasy Spoon." If you tell your server you have specific food requirements, they will always suggest items that fit the bill.
