Denman Street

The heart of the West End in Vancouver is considered to be Denman Street. This particular area is comprised of Georgia Street on the north and 8 short blocks from Davie Street on the south. It has been described as one of the most interesting combinations of businesses and shops within the city. Denman Street is near Stanley Park and English Bay and on days which are sunny, the area normally has sidewalks which are crammed. It is a neighborhood thoroughfare and a tourist spot too.

During the last decade, there has been much redevelopment with some of the blocks getting facelifts or upgrades. This has added some much needed visual stimulation and architectural styles in the area. There has actually been a significant focus on sidewalk and patio extensions and outdoor upgrades.

The city of Vancouver has a status for being a foodie's dream and amongst Vancouver's tastiest and locally owned restaurants are located on Denman Street. The West End street also has its share of independent eateries and international cuisine. The area provides a low-key option to the really busy star-studded Robson Street.
