10:00
Stand at the Inukshuk facing the sea. This Expo 86 statue marks the southern end of English Bay. It is early enough that the light is soft and the area is quiet.
10:20
Walk south to Vanier Park. The trails here run parallel to the coast. It is a good spot to stretch your legs and enjoy the green space surrounding the Kits Peninsula.
10:50
Head inland to Ofra's Kitchen for lunch. The vividly spiced vegetarian and vegan Israeli food is a welcome change. Try the shakshuka with chickpeas and spinach or a shawarma pita.
11:30
Walk to Granville Island. The area boasts an art school, shops, and a public market. It is a good place to browse the arts and find local crafts.
Local tip
Ofra's Kitchen does not list opening hours in the context, so check if they are open for lunch on your specific day. Granville Island is open for browsing, but individual shops have their own hours.
