If the name Earls isn't enough to get your appetite for good food and fun in high gear, then how about an Earls Vancouver restaurant with a solarium that features a retractable roof and is open year round? Now that's gotta get you going. Funny thing is, the solarium isn't the only unique feature of Earls Restaurant Vancouver at Fir St. There's also the perfect south-facing restaurant patio for a little people-watching and sun-seeking action. Or there's the wondrous view of the North Shore and its towering, lush-green mountains from the back side of the dining room. The restaurant staff are supercharged with enthusiasm, the manager's a tourist attraction in his own right (we won't name names), and the experience is true-blue Earls every step of the way. Expect divine drinks, dining and merrymaking-every time you visit.
Earls Vancouver Restaurant at Fir Street is super easy to find and super well-situated for a visit. We're just a block from Granville Street on West Broadway, and mere steps away from some of Vancouver's biggest hits: Granville Island, shopping and art galleries on South Granville, movies the 5th Avenue Cinemas, and live theatre at the Stanley Theatre to mention but a few. Why not stop by today? The solarium is always fine.
