Hiya,

well I’ve a few favorite places and ate at different places with my gf on our birthdays while she lived there, I really like the Boathouse which is near English Bay and Denman/Davie Street, great seafood and reasonable prices, Cin Cin is a popular place to go eat, and it can be expensive if you do the three course set at around $50 to $120 a plate, which to me is alot but maybe for your bithday its worth a go or Joe Fortes which would be a great place to just go have a drink at the bar in, we also did have a birthday dinner at the top of the revolving resturant which was great fun and the venues were cool, but it lacked atmosphere and the food wasn’t too good considering the price, so I’d go with either Fortes if you can spurge a bit or the Boathouse and then wander down to the top end of Denman to go to that desert place the chocolate something.. coffee and cake..
