The Top 100 Places to Eat and Drink Near Chupito

Updated June 17, 2026

Categories

  1. Rank 1. Chupito

    Mexican

    Chupito feels like a back-alley discovery you'd text friends about, tucked into a covered outdoor spot on Yukon Street where the elevated Mexican cooking—tender sautéed octopus with capers and olives, charred lemon and jalapeño—tastes both refined and unpretentious. The cocktails are equally thoughtful, especially the Xochimilco, a temperature-shifting clarified milk punch spiked with mezcal and topped with hot horchata foam.

  3. Rank 3. iDen & Quanjude Beijing Duck House

    Chinese

    The dining room glows with gold leaf and modernist angles, a century-and-a-half heritage distilled into glass and brass. The roasted duck arrives mahogany-dark and shatteringly skin-first, but the kitchen moves with equal precision through delicate broths, sautéed greens, sea cucumber—each dish executed with the restraint of a place confident in its own name.

    Cocktail Bar

    Wood-fired grill and vintage shop rolled into one, Mount Pleasant mixes retro aesthetics with cocktails that defy their nostalgic setting—the Shiso Fancy layers tequila, apricot, yogurt and shiso into something thoughtfully strange. Crisp snacks arrive in lunch boxes; the drinks are for adults, but the whole room feels like permission to play.

    Bistro French

    A seductive red room by Héctor Esrawe houses French bistro cooking of technical precision—the Pasta for Rachel, a sheet studded with Comté and oozing Normandy butter, epitomizes the decadent restraint. Downstairs, the listening bar Lala serves cocktails like the Noisette Manhattan, a browned-butter riff orchestrated by Keefer Bar veterans, making the pilgrimage to Cambie Village worthwhile.

    Yakitori Japanese

    Peter Ho tends a 14-seat binchō-tan grill with the focus of a monk, rotating heritage chicken skewers inches from the coals until skin crisps and meat yields to the gentlest pressure. The omakase unfolds across impeccably butchered cuts—thigh, heart, oyster—each one glossed with a decades-old tare that tastes less like seasoning than like time itself.

    At Kavita, Tushar Tondvalkar pursues Indian cooking with unshowy precision. Charcoal-grilled chicken arrives in a silken malai sauce; goat and lentils fold into haleem crowned with crisp alliums and heat. The kitchen operates without fanfare, letting technique and restraint speak for themselves.

    Andrea Carlson's corner room on Main Street moves through the seasons with thematic precision—June's florals yield to October's bitter greens and Salt Spring Island citrus—each plate a study in ingredient clarity. A celeriac akimono glazed in yuzu or tuna with fermented rosehip and sudachi arrives as the culmination of that philosophy, accomplished and inventive in equal measure.

    Steakhouse

    In Yaletown, a steakhouse where the adjacent butcher shop isn't decoration but doctrine: every cut sourced from BC ranches and beyond, Japanese wagyu for the serious spender. Start with Dungeness crab spring rolls or tartare—smoked bison, vegetables, traditional—then the bone-in Vancouver cut, seared and confident, or beef Wellington if you want theater with your protein.

    In a bright room edged with greenery on Main Street, Chef Gus Stieffenhofer-Brandson builds dishes from fermented condiments, foraged ingredients, and West Coast precision—squash roasted and pickled, shrimp barely cooked beside apple and cucumber. The tasting menu and bar menu both deliver the same revelatory sense of timing, where seasonality isn't philosophy but practice.

    Omakase Japanese

    A dark room lit by votive candles holds its curtain until your appointed moment arrives, revealing an omakase where seasonal fish and theatrical gestures—sasagiri carving, uni from competing waters—blur the line between meal and ceremony. The crispy tempura sandbar fish and flower-shaped wagashi suggest a kitchen that serves beauty as seriously as flavor.

    A former mechanic shop in Cambie Village now hosts Elio Volpe, a casual-yet-refined coastal Italian osteria where wood-fired pizzas arrive with lambrusco onions and burrata, and housemade pasta like spaghetti alle vongole shares the menu with whole grilled branzino. The buzzing bar is perfect for a solo meal, while shared plates make it equally welcoming for groups.

The kitchen works from regional ingredients with evident invention, turning familiar dishes into something you won't find elsewhere.

    Sushi

    Natural light spills across blonde wood at Sushi Hil, where Chef Hil Nguy works the counter with unhurried precision, building each piece as if it might break. Sweet prawns arrive whole over crushed ice; aka isaki meets bright citrus; aji from Kagoshima carries ginger and scallion's sharp bite. Seasonal fish and careful technique make a modest argument for what sushi can be.

Francisco Higareda cooks his mother's pan-regional Mexican repertoire with precision: corn-crusted octopus swimming in Oaxacan mole blanco, tacos built on locally made tortillas, tres leches cake that tastes like memory. The margaritas are worth the wait for a table.

  76. Rank 76. Gary's

    Rustic French

    Gary's trades formality for a kind of purposeful ease, its French country cooking—asparagus with saffron rouille, pork collar with parsley sauce—arriving without pretense on rye rolls slicked with green garlic butter. The rum baba, soaked in chamomile syrup and crowned with pistachio custard, suggests that comfort and refinement need not be at odds.

  77. Rank 77. Chinatown BBQ

    Barbecue

    A neighbourhood spot with vintage art on the walls and a steady crowd of regulars, Chinatown BBQ does unfussy Chinese barbecue that's equally good eaten straight from a takeout box or shared family-style around a lazy Susan. The barbecued pork is the everyday star, but if you're after something special, order the Chef's Secret barbecued goose a couple of days ahead.

  78. Rank 78. Bagheera

    Indian-inspired Cocktail Bar

    Behind a defunct betting parlor's storefront lies a speakeasy where barrel vaults lined with horseshoes and palm-tree murals evoke Victorian India. Cocktails like To Frighten a Mongoose and The Braggart arrive alongside curries and pakoras, each element orchestrated to suspend disbelief.

  79. Rank 79. Kissa Tanto

    Fusion

    In a Chinatown walkup outfitted like a 1960s Tokyo jazz café—rose banquettes, soft light, steely walls—chef Joël Watanabe executes Japanese-Italian fusion with the precision of fine dining. Charcoal udon with Dungeness crab, hand-cut tajarin with miso egg, tiramisu inflected with plum wine: each dish suggests a kitchen fluent in both traditions and committed to seasonal restraint.

  80. Rank 80. Bao Bei

    Chinese

    Chef Joël Watanabe's brasserie at the edge of Chinatown trades tradition for invention, elevating humble Chinese classics with precise technique and unexpected elements—fried rice studded with prawns and bitter melon, mantou buns layered with braised pork and miso-serrano aioli. The cooking is playful without being precious, grounded in quality ingredients and a genuine understanding of flavor.

  81. Rank 81. Hawksworth

    Contemporary

    Chef David Hawksworth's restaurant occupies an elegant corner of the Rosewood Hotel Georgia, all shimmering chandeliers and wine-lined walls where the clientele gleams as much as the décor. His cooking traffics in restrained luxury—a mushroom consommé with matsutake and foie gras, agnolotti that balances hazelnut and umami—the kind of refinement that doesn't announce itself.

    Fat Mao Noodles is a casual counter spot where Angus An sends out bold Thai-style broths and noodles that taste like they're made with actual conviction. The hot and sour pork noodle bowls are the thing that keeps people coming back, though the rotating signature soups suggest it's worth ordering something different each time.

    Shanghai Cocktail Bar

    Behind a hidden freezer door in a Chinatown dumpling shop lies a teal-and-gold 1920s Shanghai fantasy. Laowai stocks Canada's largest baijiu collection and pairs the assertive spirit with original cocktails—the Beijing Bikini reimagines piña colada through its lens—while first-rate dumplings anchor the experience. A speakeasy that refuses frivolity.

  95. Rank 95. Phnom Penh

    Vietnamese

    Since 1985, Phnom Penh has anchored Chinatown with a nearly encyclopedic menu of Vietnamese and Cambodian classics that rewards repeat visits and casual ordering—the thin-sliced beef in pineapple and fish sauce (#71) alone justifies the inevitable wait. Fried chicken wings dusted in salt, pepper, and sugar, alongside beef luc lac with fried egg, form the skeleton of meals that overflow the table.
