Stepping into Strathcona (which technically encompasses both Chinatown and the Downtown Eastside) feels like climbing the stairs to a top-floor gable room in one of the neighbourhood’s trademark tall houses: while it’s right near the heart of things, with Mount Pleasant just south and downtown just north, it’s calm, less frenzied and away from the hubbub. Unexpectedly, it’s also a great shopping destination, with hidden gems like an authentic Japanese grocery, well-curated clothing boutiques, and an epic cheese emporium.

Part cafe, part grocery store, the charmingly cluttered Wilder Snail specializes in organic produce and carries plentiful gluten-free options, too.
