Imagine a city where you can ski in the morning, hit the beach by afternoon and dance through the night in a vibrant bar. This is Vancouver.
If wine pairings, cocktails and a killer multi course tasting menu is your thing, then Anna Lena is a must. A place for foodies, a spot for date-night or a wine and dine with your friends, it's fine dining made fun.
This stunning spot serves beautiful dishes that taste just as good as they look. Whether it's for brunch, lunch or dinner, peruse the garden and sip on one of the many cocktails at the bar.
If you like seafood then it's essential to take a trip to Boulevard. A kitchen come oyster bar, which, to no surprise, rustles up a caviar service and seafood tower piled with pastrami steelhead, albacore tuna tataki and mussel escabèche, fit for champions.
Though it's interiors may strike you as simple, the food is anything but. Inspired by the Canadian Pacific Northwest and driven by the ethics behind growing, farming and foraging, expect a menu dictated by the seasons.
Dimly lit, green interiors and a little patio makes Caffé La Tanna the perfect spot for a glass of vino and some Italian favourites. Small plates and family-style pasta dishes, this intimate spot may be a casual neighbourhood do, but it's remarkably cosy.
Tiny is mighty is how Elephant describe themselves. Ironic given the name, this 18-seat wine bar follows a farm-to-table, fermentation driven omakase experience. From bar snacks, sauteed brassicas and purple daikon with chicken liver mapo sauce to the heartier after 10pm comfort foods. All washed down with some low-intervention wines. Elephant knows what's up.
La Quercia strips the tasting menu back to basics, in all the best ways. A family style, à la carte, pasta is rolled out daily and Northern Italian dishes are lovingly prepped. Pop by the deli for a lasagne to-go, or a heavenly sandwich for lunch.
Thai cuisine, family-style and a multiple course Chef's Menu–our three favourite things in one. Maenam not only convinces with their stylish interior but also their vibrant Thai dishes. Our personal tip: the lobster claypot!
