  4. Rank 178. Turks Coffee Bar

    The sign above the door reads "Non-conforming since 1992," which sets expectations correctly for this dark, low-key coffee bar on Commercial Drive. Regulars settle in at the community table or claim a two-top for an hour of work, while foot traffic drifts over from Grandview Park across the street. The beans come from Milano Coffee, roasted to the original Conca d'Oro blend. The art on the walls depicts the neighborhood; so does the room itself.

  7. Rank 205. Crab Hot Lau (Kingsway)

    Northern Vietnamese

    The rice field crab hot pot arrives with a broth so layered it borders on suspicious, built from noodles imported from the chef's hometown in northern Vietnam. This is a bustling, no-frills Vietnamese restaurant on Kingsway where the room runs loud and the food runs bold. Vancouver Magazine gave it the gold for Best Vietnamese, and the kitchen has since expanded to two more locations without the original losing any of its momentum.

  9. Rank 205. Dachi

    Low-intervention wines and sake anchor the menu at this Hastings-Sunrise wine bar, where small plates shift with the seasons and the bottle shop keeps locals dropping by even when they're not staying for dinner. The patio fills up in summer, the room pulls everyone back in come fall, and next door the team runs a shop selling homewares and beef fat from their sibling restaurant, which is exactly the kind of neighborhood ecosystem this stretch of East Hastings deserves.

  12. Rank 205. Granville Island Public Market

    A covered public market on the waterfront where the gap between tourist trap and excellent picnic is navigable if you know where to look. Oyama Sausage Co does mortadella and cured meats worth the detour; Terra Bread handles the carbs; Benton Brothers has the Salt Spring Island cheese. Grab Lee's doughnuts, find a bench on False Creek, and watch the paddleboarders while pretending you had a plan all along.

  14. Rank 205. Japadog

    Japanese

    A hot dog topped with teriyaki sauce, Japanese mayo, and a strip of seaweed is either a very good idea or a very weird one, and Japadog has spent years proving it's the former. The original Burrard and Smithe cart is the one to visit, though the small chain has since grown to multiple trucks and storefronts across the city. Anthony Bourdain stopped by for the No Reservations Vancouver episode and left a convert.

  18. Rank 205. Sashimiya

    Sushi

    A grab-and-go sushi and sashimi shop where the fish is sliced to order straight from the chiller, Sashimiya is the solo project of Taka Omi, who spent years behind the counter at the Fairmont Pacific Rim's RawBar. There are no seats, which the waterfront a short walk away quietly solves. Party trays, bentos, and platters are the move, and the shop stocks Japanese grocery finds alongside the fish for good measure.

  19. Rank 205. Straight Brooklyn Pizza

    Neapolitan Pizzeria

    The thin, crispy crust is the whole argument here, and the toppings are generous enough that you won't feel nickeled. Straight Brooklyn Pizza is a New York-style slice shop with several locations around the city, spinning off from the team behind Via Tevere. Order two slices and a free house-made dip comes with them, the pesto being the one to get. Good to know if you're pre-gaming Rogers Arena or BC Place and need something fast that doesn't feel like a compromise.

  20. Rank 205. The 515 bar

    Finding the 515 Bar involves navigating through a youth hostel and a sports bar, which is either an adventure or a nuisance depending on how your night is going. Once inside, this cocktail bar settles into a European mood, with an indie retro playlist and cheese and charcuterie from Les Amis du Fromage anchoring the room. The cocktails run strong, the bathroom quest grows more interesting after a few, and a line forms for happy hour on Friday and Saturday.

  21. Rank 205. Wicked Cafe

    Café

    A blue pond-glazed crème brûlée with a chocolate rubber duck floating in it tells you everything about this Fairview cafe. The pastry team drops new creations every few weeks, leaning hard into theatrical presentation, and the coffee keeps pace with seasonally inspired latte art. The kind of place where the dessert case stops people mid-stride, and the igloo cakes shaped after Nanaimo bars are not even the weirdest thing on offer.

  22. Rank 222. Lobby Lounge

    Marble floors, a signature Indian jasmine scent piped through the air, and live music three times a day set the tone for this hotel lobby bar inside one of Vancouver's glossier addresses. It's the kind of place where the city's famously casual dressing meets conspicuous chandeliers and nobody seems bothered by the contradiction. On weekend nights after ten, the potted plants reportedly double as a dance floor, so plan accordingly if you came to drink seriously.

  24. Rank 222. Nook

    Italian

    The rigatoni boscaiola has a following serious enough that regulars debate whether to bother with the specials. They should bother with the specials. This casual Italian spot on Denman runs multiple locations around Vancouver, each with its own daily menu alongside the pasta and pizza standards, which is a harder trick to pull off than it sounds. Vancouver Magazine has given it gold for Best Chain three years running.

  29. Rank 222. Pourhouse

    Cocktail Bar

    A Douglas Fir bar that's been around forever runs nearly wall to wall, and the waistcoated bartenders working it keep classic cocktails moving at a clip that suggests they've never had a slow Tuesday. This Gastown cocktail bar pulls off a London pub atmosphere in a city that usually splits the difference between restaurant and lounge, with leather booths and deep couches upstairs for the chattier end of the crowd.

  32. Rank 222. West

    Wine Bar

    Ten stools, two bartenders, and a wine wall that takes itself seriously without making you feel like you should too. West is a wine bar on Granville that embodies what Vancouver does well: high-touch without the starch. The bartenders have been here long enough to know what you want before you do, and afternoons are unhurried, though weekend evenings pack the room two deep with the pre-dinner crowd treating it as a destination in itself.

  33. Rank 222. Zoomak

    Modern Korean

    Zoomak calls itself a modern Korean tavern, which undersells the kitchen by a comfortable margin. The housemade kimchi alone earns its keep, showing up alongside crispy pork bossam and turning up again warm over steamed tofu. Korean fried chicken and pork belly fill out a menu where picking a favorite feels like a trap. The room is loose and friendly, the prices keep pace with the vibe, and nobody's making you feel bad for ordering another round.

  36. Rank 234. Chancho

    Mexican

    The hand-chopped-to-order carnitas are what people talk about, and the tortillas are made in-house, which matters more than it sounds. Chancho is a taco spot on Commercial Drive, bright and informal, with the kind of line that tells you everything before you've read a menu. The Vancouver Magazine judges called the carnitas near perfect two years running, which is a bold thing to say about a taco joint, but the room full of regulars suggests nobody is arguing.

  77. Rank 276. Clough Club

    Cocktail Bar

    The curvy white marble bar anchors one corner of a room that looks like it's been pleasantly roughed up by a century of good times, tiled floor and all. Clough Club is a cocktail bar with genuinely progressive drinks, which sets it apart from the group's other spots. Upholstered benches and club chairs line the walls, a tall marble table invites standing rounds in the middle, and the whole thing reads less like a design statement than a place people actually like drinking in.

  80. Rank 280. AJ's Brooklyn Pizza Joint

    The dough takes three days to make, which partly explains the line of rain-soaked Vancouverites camped under the East Broadway awning. This is a casual New York pizza joint doing three styles: classic New York, Sicilian, and Detroit. The thick, crispy-edged Detroit pies in particular have developed a following that shows no signs of thinning out, regardless of weather, which in Vancouver is really saying something.

  81. Rank 281. Buckstop

    Barbecue

    Antler chandeliers and flickering candles light a narrow, 32-seat bar in the West End that smells like barbecue and stays open until 2am with a full kitchen running the whole time, which is rarer in Vancouver than it should be. Rock and blues play loud enough that you lean in to talk, and at the chatty bar you'll have made friends before the second round arrives. A genuinely un-Vancouver-ish room, in the warmest possible sense.

  82. Rank 281. El Caminos

    Mexican Cocktail Bar

    House margaritas come in mugs here, which tells you most of what you need to know about El Caminos. This Mexican cocktail bar on Main Street does the Pacific Northwest version of a dive, all shabby-chic surfaces and pan-Latin classics poured without ceremony. Locals pack it out on weekends and Margarita Mondays draw a crowd that tends to spill onto the sidewalk, so come early or come patient.

  83. Rank 281. The Granville Room

    Cocktail Bar

    Brick walls, Edison bulbs, and wooden shelves set the cocktail-bar mood, then the flat-screens and thumping house music cheerfully undermine the whole thing. The Granville Room sits on Vancouver's neon-lit strip and leans into it: twenty- and thirty-somethings come here to drink with intention, share some bar food, and not overthink it. Call it a party pub wearing a speakeasy costume, and you've got it about right.

  84. Rank 281. The Refinery

    Cocktail Bar

    A flight of stairs off Granville Street leads to a low-lit cocktail lounge where nearly everyone is sitting down, cocktail in hand, which sets the mood right away. The team makes their own syrups, vermouths, and preserves for drinks built around local ingredients, and a charcuterie-heavy menu keeps people at the table long enough to order another round. Communal tables and upbeat music give it a party-at-a-friend's-place feel.

  85. Rank 281. Tiki bar at the Waldorf

    Tiki Bar

    A semi-circular tiki bar tucked inside the Waldorf Hotel's entertainment complex on East Hastings. The room is built around a big, curved bar with a red top and a mirror wall behind it that bounces the whole scene back at you. Tiered tables ring the outer edge, leaving floor space for when things get crowded. It shares the building with restaurants and live music venues, so some nights come with a cover; earlier in the week it runs as its own thing, free to wander into.

The score comes from the awards it's won, weighted by who gave them: a Michelin star outweighs a listicle. When you sort by what's nearby, distance changes the order, never the score.

      Four fifths of the score is the awards it's won, weighted by who gave them: a Michelin Key outweighs a listicle.

          Best Place Score

          The Best Place Score rates the area around a point, not any one place. The places are 60% of it: the best of what's within reach, weighed by distance. The setting is the other 40%: how life goes in that country (how people rate their own lives, how long and how well they live, how safe they are) and what it's like right there (the air, and the weather). If the score looks low, we probably haven't found enough critics out here yet.
