Food

http://stagewinebar.com/index.php - Amazing food, small atmosphere, great wine, awesome staff.  You will need to make reservations and don’t plan on doing anything else that night.  A late dinner or series of appetizers along with Prosecco and wine, the hours with friends will pass quickly.  An ever changing menu allows for a new experience every time.

http://pizzeriaprimastrada.com/ - Authentic Italian pizza.  Amazing pizza, local beer, local ingredients, their Prociutto is the BEST!!!!  I have only been to their Cook St location but I can’t imagine you could go wrong at either one.  Start with the Olives and get a side of Prociutto.  Wine or beer or two or both.  Pizza, order one each to try a few, then you'll have left overs as well... maybe. :)

http://www.williesbakery.com/ - Best bakery, coffee shop and breakfast place in town!! My favorite is their Waffle special with a Mocha.  Almost too much sugar first thing in the morning, but so good!!  The sugar wears off quickly when you walk everywhere.

http://www.bardandbanker.com/ - Great pub, good food, good beer.  This location is downtown in the old bank, just the building is amazing inside.  Even if you aren't eating or drinking, stop and check it out.  The same company owns the http://www.irishtimespub.ca/ down the street, also a great place for a pint.

http://tapabar.ca/  - A little bit more pricy but they have great martinis and mixed drinks.  Lots of finger food, very cool atmosphere.

http://www.fiamo.ca/ - Great Italian food!  We sat for hours drinking Prosecco (on tap order by the jug!), wine and ate 3 large courses.  A place for friends and hours spent laughing and sharing over dinner.  All of the food is really good.

Places

Walk all the way from Johnson St down Wharf St, to Government around the point to Dallas Rd all the way around to Cook.  Beautiful long walk, 1-2 hours.  You get to see downtown, the harbor, Empress Hotel, the Government building, Fisherman’s Wharf, the Coast guard, lighthouse point, Holland park (always lots of people and dogs), a ton of old houses.
