BAO BEI

CANADA

  • vancouver’s spoiled for choice Chinese food, but locals still queue for Bao Bei
  • No reservations. Turn up, sign up and you get a ‘table’s ready’ call
  • Head to Keefer Bar for cocktails while you wait – it’s what Bao Bei experts do
  • Hone your chopstick game, sharing plates rule here
  • Order fried rice and know you’ll never eat it this good again, anywhere
  • If you’re still in a cocktail mood, Bao Bei’s talented at those too

  • ICONIC
  • CHINESE

EAST IS EAST

CANADA

  • Eats with Silk Road heritage (eastern street food’s been around that long).
  • Roma jazz to Celtic harps, catch Chai Lounge live performance every night from 7pm.
  • Quaff alchemical cocktails and many weirdly wondrous chai choices.
  • We loved the lamb Dalcha Stew with Afghan rice.

  • BUZZ
  • CHARMING

KISSA TANTO

CANADA

  • Bao Bei’s sister restaurant lives in Chinatown.
  • Plot twist: Kissa Tanto’s part Japanese, part Italian and very desirable.
  • Always booked months in advance, but keeps a table or two for walk-ins.
  • Reserve online and wait. Or feel lucky and turn up on spec.

  • HIDDEN
  • FUSION

MIKU

CANADA

  • Vancouver’s freshest sushi right on the waterfront.
  • Go full Sushi Platter for creamy Salmon Oshi alone.
  • As sharp looking as a just sharpened Bunka Blade, only a lot more friendly.
  • Local on the fish and seafood, 100% Japanese on the skill side.

JINYA

CANADA

  • Ramen freaks rejoice, Vancouver does Jinya.
  • New to the legend? It’s all about slow-simmered broth and handmade noodles.

  • Tables are shared – it’s the ramen bar way.

MEET ON MAIN

CANADA

  • MeeT’s mission to woo Vancouver towards plant-based deliciousness is working.
  • Over 20 years old and home of no less than seven MeeT (not meat) burgers.
  • Omnivores are welcome. MeeT doesn’t judge, it’s too polite and friendly for that.
  • Always busy, plenty buzzy and big on happy staff.
