Vancouver food is fit for a King. Or at least a Duke and Duchess according to the Evening Standard’s 10 Things To Do In Vancouver list prompted by a certain royal visit.
With the majority of the don’t-miss-it list focused on nosh, here’s a look at the Vancouver food that made the grade:
- Chinatown’s rustic-chic Juniper and their great gin menu featuring the very English’y Wimbledon cocktail made with Pimm’s and the Notting Hill with dreamy rose buds and orange bitters.
- David Hawksworth’s Nightingale for its 90s playlist, smashing cocktails and small happy-hour plates like Pacific rockfish or fig and gorgonzola.
- Vancouver food trucks – high praise from street food obsessed England. Fish tacos from Tacofino and homey grilled cheese and tomato soup at Mom’s Grilled Cheese. Shout out to streetfoodapp.com/vancouver for food truck news.
- Brunch at Café Medina brought on prayers for a London offshoot. Sister spot Chambar‘s short rib fricassee was “nothing short of genius.”
- Who doesn’t love Granville Island’s Public Market? The micro-breweries, unique setting and all of the market stall food offerings. Unsurprisingly, Granville Island-made Endeavour gin from The Liberty Distillery got a special doff of the cap.
- Seafood. The RawBar and sushi at the Pacific Fairmont Rim and the baked Pacific oysters with truffle at L’Abbatoir in Gastown received high marks.
- Delicious Canadian wine and Blue Mountain Pinot Gris in particular.
