Vancouver offers visitors a tremendous mix of cuisine types and restaurant styles. Many of the city’s award-winning dining establishments are located along the waterfront, at Granville Island, or near Vancouver’s shopping and financial districts. You’ll also find some gems tucked away at “off the beaten track” neighbourhood locales. Explore and your tastebuds will be rewarded!

The majority of acclaimed Vancouver restaurants focus on fresh, local, organically-grown food and use the best, seasonal ingredients that British Columbia has to offer. Of course, with the city’s location on the edge of the Pacific Ocean, excellent seafood choices are found on many menus. And with Vancouver’s geographic situation to the Pacific Rim, and multicultural diversity, you’ll also find a wonderful selection of Asian, Indian, and European gastronomic influences.
