  18. Rank 18. The Fish Man

    Seafood Chinese

    An informal seafood shrine where chef Bo Li treats local catch—lingcod, grouper, white sea bass, geoduck—with culinary precision. The sour-cabbage hotpot and two dozen varieties of BBQ skewer pair brilliantly with beer in a room that thrums with conviviality and noise. This is serious cooking in a decidedly unstuffy setting.

    Contemporary New American

    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.

  20. Rank 20. Chez Céline

    A Montreal-style bistro where chef J-C Poirier trades the precision of his Michelin-starred St. Lawrence for something looser and more playful. Foie gras sandwiches with fruit preserves sit alongside soft-serve drizzled with olive oil, the menu stripped to its essentials: lamb belly brochette, arctic char with sauce meunière. It's unpretentious food that knows exactly what it is.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

The cooking is refined and ingredient-driven, the wine list focused on small organic producers, the kitchen visible and its aromas inescapable.

    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.

    Cherry Pham's family-run Northern Vietnamese spot on Kingsway is a bustling, no-frills counter where the rice field crab hot pot—made with noodles from her hometown—arrives with a complex, addictive broth that justifies the three-year award streak. The beef carpaccio salad and meaty crab spring rolls are equally convincing reasons to navigate the crowds.

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.

    Devon Latté and Lucas Johnston build their cooking around British Columbia's seasonal bounty, where a bowl of kohlrabi might arrive glossed with caramelized honey and makrut lime, and albacore tuna speaks for itself across two preparations. The wine list honors the same provincial commitment, and in this small room of counter and table seats, the restraint feels intentional.

Seasonal fish and careful technique make a modest argument for what sushi can be.

  78. Rank 78. Rabbit Rabbit

    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.

  81. Rank 81. Barbara

    Contemporary

    At the L-shaped bar of this East Pender kitchen, you watch Patrick Hennessy execute refined technique on local ingredients with invisible effort. Oysters crowned with Northern Divine caviar, eggplant crisped and dressed with honey and chermoula, broccolini beside toasted almond romesco—each plate arrives stripped of pretense, all flavor and precision.

  82. Rank 82. Meo

    Cocktail Bar

    Meo is a plush Chinatown cocktail bar that pairs velvet banquettes with hedonistic small plates—milk buns filled with curried potato, oysters in herb celery emulsion—that justify lingering over drinks. The cocktails lean vegetable-forward and inventive, the kind that rewire your thinking about what a carrotini can be.

  87. Rank 87. Nammos

    Greek

    White-washed walls and azure accents transport you to a Greek island, where Nammos executes the familiar repertoire—crispy spanakopita, grilled sea bream with fennel, loukoumades—with an unhurried attention to ingredient and technique that distinguishes it from the city's other Greek establishments. The cooking tastes like it has something to prove, and it does.

  88. Rank 88. Bonjour Vietnam

    Vietnamese

    Bonjour Vietnam Bistro channels a West Hollywood nightclub aesthetic with potted plants and mood lighting, drawing a fashion-forward crowd with grilled pork sausage wrapped in lemongrass and pepper-crusted beef carpaccio. The short rib pho and bun bo hue arrive in soul-warming bowls, matched by disarmingly sweet service that makes the whole enterprise feel genuinely welcoming.

  90. Rank 90. Lala

    Down a staircase behind June, the brasserie upstairs, lies Lala—a subterranean cocktail den with the golden warmth of a vintage rec room, vinyl spinning nightly, and a bar manager crafting precise, unexpected drinks like a mezcal-forward Gibson riff with persimmon-shallot mignonette. The room's curves and retro speakers suggest comfort; the cocktails suggest thought.

  100. Rank 100. Max Noodle House

    Hong Kong-style Noodles

    Max Noodle House pulls off what's increasingly rare in Metro Vancouver: proper Hong Kong-style wonton noodles where the alkaline strands have genuine bite, the wontons are light and carefully made, and the broth tastes like it took time. The fried chicken wings swim in Chinese rice wine and the stewed beef brisket carries notes of dried tangerine peel, all at a casual counter where you don't need reservations or deep pockets.
