Salmon Fishing Vancouver Canada
Affordable Dining Adventures for the Untourist in Vancouver
When you come to Vancouver on your Canada vacation a highlight will be sampling the city’s best restaurants. The problem is that the most well-known of these – usually the ones taking up all the space in your guidebook – can break the bank.
Here are my picks for the best Vancouver restaurants where you can have your cake and eat it too.
Best Summer Seafood: Go Fish! (1505 w. 1st ave, across from Granville Island) is a ramshackle shack on Fisherman’s Wharf serving up the freshest, tastiest seafood of any Vancouver restaurant. Work up an appetite with a stroll along the seawall or a tour of Granville Island before ordering a salmon tacone, beer-battered halibut and chips, or any of the daily specials. Take your fare to a sea-side bench with views of Granville Island and the mountains. This is a fair-weather summertime treat as there is no indoor seating.
Best Gourmet Indian: Rangoli (1488 w. 11th ave) is the sister shop to Vij’s, a well-known Vancouver restaurant often featured in international guidebooks, magazines, and TV shows. Vij’s food is superb, but the restaurant’s fame also means lineups out the door (they don’t take reservations) and a higher price tag. Rangoli, while more modest with decidedly smaller tables, features the same recipes and incredibly inventive cuisine for a fraction of the price.
Best Dessert: For a special night out in the luxury of a fine Vancouver hotel’s gourmet restaurant, you can’t beat the desert buffet at Griffins at Hotel Vancouver (900 W. Georgia). A delicious assortment of as many freshly made pastries, cakes, and chocolate confections as you can eat for only $13 ($8 when accompanied by a meal).
Best Asian: Guu (838 Thurlow St) is not for the faint-of-heart. A Japanese BBQ chain serving up unique cooked small plates (or tapas) to Japanese exchange students and locals in the know. This is not the place to go for generic yakisoba or California rolls, but a great, loud place to try something new.
Wherever you choose to dine, be sure to choose something a little different. Vancouver has some of the best restaurants in the world, in every type of cuisine you can imagine.
