dinner in Vancouver?

[dreamdoc]

Looking for good food (maybe near gastown/st regis) the nite before our cruise out of Vancouver. I'm a foodie and looking for good not necessarily expensive.

Wow, there are so many options in downtown Vancouver. Depending on your budget, and what you're looking for (there's a lot of great Asian and Indian). Can you narrow it down a bit?

As a tourist i went for Chinese one night and Gastown another. Also spent the money for Sails at the Pan.. worth every penny.

That shouldn't be too hard. I would recommend Joe Fortes (Denman St), and Provence (down by the Cambie Bridge) right off the bat. Going a little further afield, Vij's is excellent (Granville & 11th Ave).

 

A lot of the high end foodie restaurants are down on W 4th, which is a bit of a trek from downtown, the two I mentioned are at least on the downtown peninsula.

 

Was there a specific type of food you were looking for ?

How about good (not expensive) chinese food near the Hyatt downtown?

How about Cloud 9? Its a revolving restaurant with stunning views of the city.

Bishop's on 4th Ave. Easy cab ride from downtown. Excellent food and good wine list. Order the lamb and a bottle of Pesquera and John will tell you an interesting story. Bill Clinton likes it.;)

There's quite a few down on W.4th that are excellent; Bishops, Feenie's, Quattro.

 

As for chinese food, Sun Sui Wah is the best Chinese place, Main and approx 20th; worth the cab right from downtown.
