Where to Dine Outside in Vancouver
"Sipping a steaming bowl of pho on a cold afternoon at Pho Haven feels replenishing, even on the coldest days. The heated front porch of this Vietnamese restaurant, housed in an old Victorian, offers a nice perch for watching people and traffic pass by on Main Street. Pho Haven’s menu includes a variety hot soup, from their meat-y special pho with eye round steak, flank steak, and meatballs, to a lighter vegan pho with tofu and mushrooms in a broth flavored with a mix of fruits and vegetables. The six outdoor tables often fill up around 6 p.m., but are typically available for walk-ins at lunch and before or after 6 p.m. Reservations can be made by phone." - Rachel Pinsky
