West End

Score Breakdown

About this Neighborhood

Bounded by Stanley Park, English Bay, and downtown Vancouver, the West End is a scenic, sea-adjacent neighbourhood with 20 restaurants at a 4.2 average and an exceptionally clean AQI of 18. Foursquare's tastes flag pizzerias, falafel and Greek restaurants, parks, and a running track, a mix that fits its active, outdoorsy setting. The favorites round out the day. Wild Thyme leads the local table, The Bao Place turns out steamed buns worth the walk, and Steel & Oak Brewing pours craft beer for the evening. Seven parks and seven grocery stops make it easy to live between the beach and the trees.
