Locally sourced cheese is always preferable to moon cheese, which was found to have dangerously high levels of Buzz Aldrin's brain waves. Enjoy a fresh, earthbound meal with today's Groupon: for $15, you get $30 worth of local fare and drinks at the Prospect Point Cafe & Lions Gate Bar. This Groupon expires in three months, so head out soon to take advantage of the breathtaking sights as the seasons turn.

Nestled within the boundaries of magnificent Stanley Park, the restaurant offers brilliant views, high-caliber service, and a menu stocked with hearty dishes concocted from local ingredients. Introduce eager tongue papillae to one of the fresh salmon plates, such as the pine-nut-pesto salmon ($24.99), Teriyaki salmon ($23.99), or smoked-salmon linguine ($18.99). Land-locked eaters can chomp down on Stanley's Bavarian Smokie burger, layered with zesty sauerkraut, back bacon, cheddar, and onions ($13.99), or the chicken pesto fettuccine, with grilled chicken breast resting regally atop a throne of homemade pesto created from pine nuts, parmesan, and thin air ($19.99).

Sip on a refreshing draft beer ($5.99 for a sleeve) and challenge the mountainous view to a staring contest as you enjoy a comfortable seat in Prospect Point Cafe's expansive indoor or outdoor patio. The restaurant overlooks the impressive Lions Gate Bridge and is commonly agreed upon as the highest point in Stanley Park. Friendly waitstaff and Ocean Wise–certified seafood recommended by the Vancouver Aquarium contribute to the pleasant atmosphere and karma-boosting experience at Prospect Point Cafe.

Reviews

Prospect Point Cafe has appeared in Condé Nast Traveler, the LA Daily News, and BC Living. Six DineHere users give it a three-star average rating:

• …the panoramic view of the Lion's Gate Bridge is priceless… – Condé Nast Traveler
• One of the best spots for lunch is the Prospect Point Cafe, primarily for its views. It's set atop a wooded knob at the northern edge of the park, and has the feel of a treehouse. – Eric Noland, LA Daily News
