The date

Splitting a tower of oysters might be the city's most effortlessly flirty date move, and Fanny Bay does it best. It's Vancouver's only tide-to-table oyster bar, run by the actual farm, so the dozen on your marble counter came from their own beds. Take the bar seats and let the shuckers tell you which is briny and which to dare your date to slurp. A 4.5 across 3,500-plus reviews keeps it honest.

How to do it

Skip the tables and grab two seats at the marble shucking counter, watching the shuckers work is half the fun. Order a mixed dozen across BC varieties and ask the staff to talk you through briny-versus-sweet; daring your date to slurp the boldest one is the whole bit. First-timers stop at oysters and miss the chowder and the daily happy-hour deals, so check the board before you order. Budget about 90 minutes; you're steps from Yaletown and the seawall to keep the date rolling.
