First date ideas in Vancouver that aren't drinks

Real Vancouver places to meet somebody for the first time, each one checked against the same public-venue rule Seatt enforces on every plan posted.

Seatt is a dating app available in Vancouver. Post a plan at a public place, leave one seat open and choose someone to join you. These local places can help you decide where.

For a first meeting, choose somewhere easy to find and comfortable to leave. A café is a simple start; a gallery or a park gives you something to talk about. See our first date ideas for more options.

How this list was made

Seatt only accepts plans at public venues, and that is a check rather than a request. Every plan posted in the app is matched against a list of place types that count, and a longer list that does not. Somebody's flat is not a venue and neither is a car park.

The places below went through that same check. 110 real Vancouver places were looked at and 13 were refused by the rule, leaving 92. Nothing here is ranked or recommended: these are real places in Vancouver that would be accepted as a plan, which is a smaller and more useful claim than a list of bests.
