Kalev Jaaguste
The votes have been counted and the readers have spoken. From bloggers to mascots, cocktails to coffee shops, think of this as a guide to Vancouver, created by those who live here. As you walk around your community, look for the Stars of Vancouver logo displayed in the windows of winning merchants and businesses. It indicates our readers think it’s worth looking into and enjoying for yourself.
Top vote getter for Health and Fitness Centre/Gym (downtown), Kalev Fitness Solution’s owner Kalev Jaaguste flexed his muscles with the Courier and worked out his top Vancouver picks.
We hope this gives you an incentive to try out some of the very best businesses and services our wonderful city has to offer. Thanks to everyone who voted this year, and a huge congratulations to voter, Carole Henshall, who has won a Tigh-Na-Mara getaway at The Grotto Spa. Dee Dhaliwal

Best local venue to see live music The Imperial — but, I miss Richard’s on Richards every time I see a show Favourite local musician or band Pink Mountaintops Favourite Vancouver Canuck of all time My mother would disown me if I didn’t say Trevor Linden, but I’ll always have a soft spot for Sami Salo, as he looked like he was in perpetual need of a hug. Oh, and Dave Babych’s moustache Favourite restaurant Cinara — excellent wine, even more excellent Italian-ish food and an interior that’s like the continental grown up brother of Finch’s Tea House across the street. Gorgeous Favourite grocery store Union Market for their Portuguese chourico and the warm community feeling Best local blog Vancouver is Awesome. Bob’s enthusiasm for Vancouver’s (and by extension, B.C.’s) past, present and future is infectious Best craft brewery Strange Fellows, hands down. Their sours win my love forever Favourite Vancouver building The Dal Grauer Substation on Burrard. I always expect to see the Scooby Doo gang running up and down the staircases
Jillian Povarchook Collections associate Jillian Povarchook isn’t the only thing interesting about the Museum of Vancouver, which nabbed third place in our Gallery/Museum category, but her thoughtful list of local favourites puts her a close second. And it has nothing to do with her love of former Canuck Dave Babych’s lustrous moustache. Well, maybe a little. 28 Dockside (Granville Island Hotel) 1/8 page V 2x5.2025

If there were a prize for best new lineup or waiting list, Osterio Savio Volpe would probably win that as well. As it stands, the hopping neighbourhood Italian joint located on an increasingly interesting stretch of Fraser Street is the top vote getter for New Restaurant/Fine Dining. Restauranteur and Osterio Savio Volpe’s resident beard Paul Grunberg shared some of his favourite things about Vancouver.

Fin the Whale Encouraging Canucks fans to cheer on their struggling team this year sounds like a thankless task. But the city’s Best Mascot, Fin, isn’t one to complain. In fact, the fuzzy orca loves just about everything and everybody, especially if it’s ocean related. Fin put flipper to paper and gave us a list of his local picks. Favourite beach for people watching Whale, there are so many choices but Kits beach seems to be pretty active. I stay away from Wreck Beach – TMI!! Best sushi in town I have to go with our friends at Minami Favourite place to take out of town guests Rogers Arena for a Canucks game of course Best place to grab a beverage after a hard game The Pint or The Keg Favourite place to take a date Middle of English Bay and look at the Van City skyline Favourite patio Anywhere with a view of the ocean Best play you have seen Sedinery Favourite breakfast/brunch spot The mouth of the Capilano River during the salmon runs
