1. Hy's Encore
If you're wondering what that smell is when you walk into Hy's, it's probably old school money! This place is a total ol' boys club with no apologies. The grey-haired diners know what the like (steak) and don't want any of the hype of these flashy,…More »
2. A Kettle of Fish - CLOSED
Don't let the slight fishy smell put you off of this restaurant. It's a quality place to go for great fish and seafood (they're Oceanwise - an ocean-friendly choice), and they won't scale you with the cheque.
One of the biggest improvements upon my…More »
3. Aqua Riva - CLOSED
Vancouver, BC V6C 1S4
(604) 683-5599
Categories:
Canadian (New),
Seafood
Neighbourhood: Downtown
This is a fancy place to go that is popular with convention-going types from Canada Place right next door. You'll likely need reservations to get in here on Friday, Saturday and holidays (Valentine's for example). It's a pretty big venue (200 seats)…More »
4. Kobe Japanese Steak House
Vancouver, BC V6E 1A3
(604) 684-2451
Category:
Japanese
Neighbourhoods: West End, Downtown
I had such a fun night out at Kobe Steakhouse for a friend's birthday dinner. It helped that one of the guests kept the sake coming and liberally poured for everyone at the table ...
Even without the copious amounts of distilled rice liquor, Kobe is…More »
5. Cardero's Restaurant & Marine Pub
Vancouver, BC V6G 3E7
(604) 669-7666
Category:
Cajun/Creole
Neighbourhoods: Coal Harbour, Downtown
This is a beautiful spot in Coal Harbour where you can really enjoy the view and the food. Wok Squid ($10.95) is an addictive appy to munch on while you enjoy a Caesar, and they make a mean one here.
I usually go for fish at a place like this, but…More »
6. The Sandbar Seafood Restaurant
Vancouver, BC V6H 3R9
(604) 669-9030
Categories:
Seafood,
Sushi Bars
Neighbourhood: Granville Island/False Creek
Gazing through Sandbar's high, wide wall of windows over False Creek across to downtown Vancouver is a great way to spend an evening. Sandbar is located under the Granville Bridge on Granville Island and boasts terrific views of the city, the ocean…More »
7. So.Cial at Le Magasin - CLOSED
Vancouver, BC V6B 1B6
(604) 669-4488
Categories:
Sandwiches,
Canadian (New),
Lounges
Neighbourhoods: Downtown, Gastown
So.Cial is much more than a deli, although their sandwiches are amazing if you don't mind paying a bit more for high quality. It's also a very sexy nightspot to enjoy some of BC's best wines (shout out to my fav's Orofino Cab/Merlot and Desert Hills…More »
8. Mosaic Bar & Grille
Vancouver, BC V6C 2R7
(604) 639-4770
Categories:
Canadian (New),
French
Neighbourhood: Downtown
I would recommend this restaurant for a) convention-going business types with expense accounts; and b) locals with a special occasion to celebrate who forgot to make reservations.
It is tucked away on the second floor of the Hyatt Regency hotel on…More »
9. Herons West Coast Kitchen + Bar
Vancouver, BC V6C 3L5
(604) 691-1818
Categories:
Canadian (New),
Bars
Neighbourhood: Downtown
Herons is a bright restaurant with lots of windows that look across that the Pan Pacific and convention centre, and the North Shore Mountains beyond. It's just off the lobby of the Fairmont Waterfront hotel. They present themselves as serving…More »
10. Tapastree - CLOSED
Tapastree offers casual dining, tapas-style with a West Coast flare. It's hard to go wrong choosing from their small-plates menu, unless you're on a budget. It's places like this that really make me wish I had a sugar daddy. You can try to just order…More »
11. Cru Restaurant
Vancouver, BC V6H 1H6
(604) 677-4111
Category:
French
Neighbourhoods: Fairview Slopes, South Granville
An intimate sliver of a fine-dining restaurant, it's just two rows of white-clothed tables and a cozy, modern place to celebrate a special occasion--such as your Golden wedding anniversary, your promotion to VP of your company or a modest lottery…More »
12. Joe Fortes Seafood & Chop House
Vancouver, BC V6E 3V5
(604) 669-1940
Categories:
Seafood,
Steakhouses
Neighbourhood: West End
I got a last-minute call from a friend to join him at Joe Fortes for Dine Out Vancouver. I decided 'what the heck' and went but we were so disappointed.
We were sat on time for our reservation and I was impressed with the wine list -- there were lots…More »
