Surrounded by water, Vancouver’s location is perfect to harvest the fruits of the sea—be it mussels, oysters, wild salmon, Dungeness crab, or spot prawns.
Sustainable ingredients
Vancouverites care where their food comes from. Menus routinely list the farm, fisherperson, or butcher responsible for the components on your plate. Seafood is sustainable (look for the Ocean Wise symbol), meat is nose-to-tail, and vegetables are local.
Multicultural mashups
Discover Indian restaurants with wild salmon dishes, and Peruvian restaurants that offer Japanese fusion eats. Cuisines often intermingle in Vancouver, where local chefs grow up surrounded by different cultures.
Good food for everyone
Vancouver offers high-end restaurants for special occasions, but excels at casual dining with food trucks, izakayas, bistros, and gastropubs serving excellent bites in a relaxed atmosphere.
