Íconos de OpenTable

Nightingale

From the acclaimed Hawksworth Group, Nightingale spins Neapolitan-style woodfired pizza in a former university club with soaring ceilings. The expansive menu also dives into seasonal salads, fresh pastas, and epic proteins, so it's no wonder that Vancouver Magazine dubbed it the best restaurant for any occasion—whether you want to party with a 100-layer lasagna or 24-oz prime striploin.

Social Corner Yaletown

With its lively vibe and menu featuring Italian and Spanish dishes, Social Corner Yaletown is an anytime favorite that also happens to be Michelin-recommended. Whether for happy hour or dinner, this spot always delivers with well-crafted cocktails – including a dedicated spritz menu – and fare that spans from shareable bites like patatas bravas to pizzas made with 72-hour fermented dough.

Dovetail

Inspired by the relaxed sophistication of California dining, this stylish spot embraces boho west coast vibes with its soft neutral tones and natural fabrics. Seasonal ingredients are the throughline of a playful menu that ranges from carne asada to spicy vodka pasta. After dinner, classic cocktails and a funky soundtrack encourage diners to hang out longer.

Song (By Kin Kao)

Song takes familiar Thai dishes to new heights with bold flavors and meticulous technique, earning a Michelin Bib Gourmand nod. Think Pad Thai made with fresh noodles and tossed in a house tamarind sauce or green curry studded with sous vide beef shank. The drink menu is equally thoughtful, featuring natural wines and cocktails spiked with Thai ingredients like lemongrass and ginger.

A sharing-style menu and an enticing wine list create an experience that’s as close to dining in a quaint Greek village as you can get without the plane ticket.

Le Crocodile

This French fine-dining icon has dazzled Vancouverites since 1983. Legendary chef Michel Jacob passed the torch to his friend and Iron Chef America winner Rob Feenie in 2024, and Feenie still celebrates the restaurant's French origins while incorporating some of his West Coast roots. Expect Dover sole deboned tableside in an herb beurre blanc, steak tartare, and other classics served in an elegant white tablecloth dining room.

Fiorino

What began as a desire to recreate a beloved childhood street food has led to a MICHELIN Bib Gourmand nod for Florence-born Giovanni Mascagni. By day, his Chinatown restaurant serves focaccia-like schiacciata bread stuffed with fillings like prosciutto di Parma and bresaola beef. Come in the evening for a cozy aperitivo with Florentine-style sharing plates and cocktails.

Hawksworth Restaurant

Pioneering chef David Hawksworth cooked through MICHELIN-Starred restaurants in Europe before opening his namesake in his hometown in 2011. Canada’s 100 Best Restaurants calls it one of the best in the country for its tasting menu that's packed with Pacific Northwest treasures. Think mussels swimming in halibut mousseline and pheasant ballotine bundled with chanterelles all served in a spacious, historic dining room.

Mott 32 - Vancouver

Mott 32 radiates timeless luxury with its moody color palette and striking bird-cage chandeliers. The Vancouver location of the acclaimed chain reimagines Cantonese cuisine with modern touches, while also drawing on Beijing and Szechuan flavors.

Okeya Kyujiro Vancouver

At this Michelin-starred restaurant, omakase is transformed into an immersive theater of food, inspired by chef Takuya Matsuda's love for Cirque du Soleil.

Barbara Restaurant - Vancouver

The influence of chef Patrick Hennessy’s stints at prestigious kitchens, including New York's Eleven Madison Park, shines through in Barbara’s Michelin-starred tasting menu. An open kitchen gives diners a front-row view of the magic, as Hennessy transforms local ingredients into dishes like stracciatella with smoked couscous. The B.C.-centric wine list is just as locally rooted.
