This tiny plae in Gastown serves the best tapas in the city and lots of food out of cans, along with an impressive selection of Spanish wines.
Toshi Sushi
You're going to wait for a table at Toshi in Mount Pleasant partly because it's tiny, but mostly because the Japanese food is really good.
The Arbor
The Arbor is a vegetarian restaurant on Main St. where you can walk right in and eat sandwiches, pizzas, and salads - try and get a seat on the patio.

Bring a small group to Pidgin in Gastown to share some of the most creative food you'll find in the city.
St. Lawrence Restaurant
You'll find the best Québécois food in Vancouver at St Lawrence, bring a date or one other friend and eat a lot of crazy rich food.
Bao Bei
From the same people as Kissa Tanto, Bao Bei is another must-visit spot, though it's more casual and the food is creative Chinese.
Kissa Tanto
Kissa Tanto is one of the hardest reservations to get, but it's well worth whatever you have to do to get one to eat the Japanese - Italian food.
Vij’s
You can usually sit down right away at Vij's, an Indian restaurant on Cambie St. that serves traditional dishes as well as some creative twists.

Since it opened in 1985, Joe Fortes in West End has been a Vancouver staple - sit on the rooftop if you can while you eat fresh seafood.
Kingyo Izakaya
Eating Japanese small plates at Kingyo in West End is a quintessential Vancouver experience.
DD Mau Chinatown
DD Mau’s Chinatown location is right below a club, so it’s the perfect spot to start a night with Vietnamese food and a group of friends.
The Downlow Chicken Shack
Downlow Chicken Shack is just a small room where they play loud, dance music and serve the best fried chicken in the city.
