Spring is coming! You know what’s after spring? Summer, glorious summer. You know what goes well with summer? Patio dining. You know where you can find one of the best patios in the city? Granville Island.
Dockside Restaurant is located in the heart of Granville Island. Surrounded by water and gorgeous city views, it offers delicious dishes in an open dining room concept.
The restaurant offers a casual yet refined setting that its perfect for a romantic dinner or a family get together. Their patio is amazing in the summertime and offers award-winning cocktails. I’ve heard they offer a pretty decent brunch as well. But don’t take my word for it. I am giving away a $75 gift certificate for Dockside Restaurant to one lucky reader. This is how you can win:
