The Top 100 Places to Eat and Drink Near Via Tevere Main Street

  1. Rank 1. Good Thief

    Vietnamese

    Behind velvet curtains, Vincent and Amelie Nguyen channel nhậu—Vietnamese drinking culture—into a moody cocktail bar where phở-inflected whisky and basil-watermelon highballs land alongside crispy frog legs and Dungeness crab noodles. The menu trades refinement for swagger, each plate and drink a small rebellion against restraint.

  2. 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.

The tasting menu and bar menu both deliver the same revelatory sense of timing, where seasonality isn't philosophy but practice.

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.

  92. 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.

  93. Rank 93. 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.

  94. Rank 94. 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.

  95. Rank 95. L’Abattoir

    West Coast French

    L'Abattoir pairs French technique with BC ingredients in a warmly lit Gastown mezzanine that feels more convivial than formal. Baked oysters and Fraser Valley duck anchor a menu where even dessert—a buttery mille-feuille with salted honey—shows restrained elegance.

  96. Executive chef Roger Ma elevates pristine seafood—charcoal-grilled sablefish, blue fin tuna—with restrained modern technique and Asian inflection. An opulent room of marble and leather surrounds a versatile menu where house-made pasta and impeccable oysters command equal attention.

  97. A waterfront tower where Asian and Pacific Northwest design merge beneath soaring lobbies lit by sculptural installations and lined with local photography. The hotel's restaurants and lounges draw Vancouverites as readily as travelers, anchored in a building that announces the city's cultural confidence the moment you step inside.

  98. Rank 98. Laowai

    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.

  99. Rank 99. Bacchus

    European-inspired New American

    Nestled in the Wedgewood Hotel's hushed lobby, Bacchus wraps you in marble and candlelight while chef Stefan Hartmann serves European cooking with local spine—foie gras terrine with roasted plum, prawns in lobster bisque. The wine list ranges globally; the martinis are formidable.

  100. Rank 100. Sushi Hyun

    Omakase Sushi

    Chef Juhyun Lee's six-seat counter unfolds as a spare, ceremonial space where Japanese luxury meets understated Korean inflection through impeccable edomae omakase. The hinoki wood gleams; the fish speaks; service dissolves into attentiveness itself.
