From casual delights to fine-dining, the best restaurants in Vancouver offer a view of the gastronomic landscape.
The city is a gastronome’s paradise. The city’s culinary scene is second-to-none, and Vancouver restaurants are so numerous and consistently high quality that it’s easy to find delicious food at a variety of price points. Seafood and Asian cuisine are a particular point of pride. Salmon n’ Bannock has crowds clamoring for one of its 26 seats, who come for the bannock bread and expertly cooked wild fish. Among a long list of options for where to eat in Vancouver, Forage is another standout. The establishment takes sustainability and a farm-to-table philosophy seriously, which is reflected in its local, flavorful menu that includes pork tongue ravioli and roast bison bone marrow.
