Andrea Copp’s Local Favourites   

For Breakfast

Orto Pasta in North Vancouver is my secret hideaway. It’s a quiet spot for either breakfast or lunch: a mushroom omelette or a bowl of soup, always from clean, fresh food in their garden among the raised beds of vegetables and flowers. I feel at peace and private there. And, if I’m lucky, Brigitte, the owner, will sit with me for a chat.

For Coffee

Isetta in West Vancouver is absolutely my coffee spot; it’s a perfectly designed space, and it’s always a treat to chat with staff and with Thomas Eleizegui, the GM. But If I’m passing through Vancouver, I’ll stop at La Tana for a coffee or cocktail to meet a friend. Both places are beautifully designed, thoughtful and full of character.

For Design Shopping

Provide is the place to get it all: candles, bedding, the best rugs and my favourite solid brass book page opener thing by Henry Wilson.

For a Local Getaway

Swimming from my childhood seaside at Lions Bay to feel engulfed and held by the mystery of the sea or to disappear into the forest is my version of getting away; it’s more of a coming to my senses and a reminder of what’s important.
