A narrow Victoria room where Asian-minded cooking meets local ingredients on a small-plates menu that feels cosmopolitan without trying too hard. The scallion milk buns with caramelized onion butter alone justify the detour.

Rank 8. Marilena
Sushi
The chicest room in Victoria serves impeccably sourced seafood and sashimi at a polished raw bar and dining room backed by the city's most serious wine program. Top Table's first Island outpost plays it both ways—precise nigiri alongside creative reaches like lingcod Bourguignon—and the service sets a new standard for the city.

The Courtney Room is a polished fine-dining room working the seasonal rhythms of Vancouver Island's larder into tightly composed plates. Order the B.C. side stripe shrimp toast on local sourdough and the lamb bacon tagliatelle, dishes that announce what this kitchen does best.

In a forest cabin on quiet Galiano Island, chef Jesse McCleery builds seasonal tasting menus from foraged and locally grown ingredients with the precision of someone who knows exactly what the landscape offers. Yellow pea tostadas meet albacore tuna; charcoal noodles arrive dark and alkaline, traced with chicken fat and celery leaf. The food moves with the seasons, patient and particular.

Rank 26. Baan Lao
Royal Thai
Chef-owner Nutcha Phanthoupheng applies meticulous technique to royal Thai cuisine in a serene 20-seat dining room overlooking Steveston's river. Each of eighteen tasting-menu dishes—from hand-shaped dumplings to tiger prawns in tom yum—demonstrates studied precision, learned through private instruction in Bangkok.
