One of my favorite places to hang out to eat great food and listen to live music. It is Indian/Middle-eastern done well, with an all-you-can-eat table service option (come hungry!).
Live performances are mesmerizing but not too loud, which still allows for good dinner table conversation

Granville Island is not actually an island, but a peninsula under the Granville St bridge, with a huge food market, loads of shops featuring masterful artisan, and evening entertainment. Take the water taxi here for the full experience, as parking can be a challenge in the summer. Watch out for seagulls as they try to steal your lunch!!

It can be accessed with bike, bus, or car (although parking can be tough on a sunny weekend day).
Decent food concession stand - for yummy fries and ice cream!
