Globe@YVR
A bowl of this restaurant’s hearty mascarpone-and-mushroom ravioli, along with a glass of B.C. Pinot (Noir or Gris), can make a layover here seem almost pleasurable. Set inside the Fairmont Vancouver Airport Hotel (connected to the Departures terminal via illuminated walkway), Globe@YVR uses locally sourced ingredients and serves only sustainable seafood (maple-glazed wild Pacific salmon; pan-seared B.C. rainbow trout). Don’t miss the breakfast buffet, with a made-to-order omelette station (free-range and hormone-free, of course), smoked salmon, and a full spread of fruit and fresh-baked pastries.
