Vancouver Dining

 

 

What you'll find is that in Vancouver dining (pronounced "Vancoover"), out is not only a custom it's practically a rule here.

We eat out more than in other place in Canada and with more than 5,000 places to eat, Vancouver is considered one of the top places on the continent to eat out for both variety and quality.

There are restaurants for every taste and every budget. Whether you're in the mood for a sit down gourmet meal or just want to grab something quick to go you'll find restaurants that offer tempting dishes made with fresh, local ingredients.

When the weather is having your meal dining out on an outdoor patio or garden really adds to the enjoyment and it's even better if there's a fabulous mountain or harbour view. This is what Vancouver dining is all about!

Possible stops on your Vancouver dining adventure may include Asian, Italian, French, Greek, Thai or Mexican to name a few.

Be sure to enjoy your Vancouver dining on our West Coast favorites like wild salmon, locally grown organic vegetables and fresh picked fruit from orchards throughout the region all perfectly accompanied by world famous B.C. wine.

 

To help you find your way here are a few spots to eat in the city that are some to the best places to eat.

They range from expensive fine dining all the way to cheap places to eat little "hole in the wall Vancouver dining" family diners. Many of the restaurants listed aren't fancy but they do have some of the best food in Vancouver dining at it's best.

....And remember...dining in casual laid back Vancouver means you rarely have to get dressed up unless it's a really luxurious restaurant.
