Vancouver restaurants
Vancouver's restaurant scene is impressive for a city of its size. The waterfront location means seafood is king, and especially in the downtown area, the city's large Asian population is reflected in the many sushi shops, noodle bars, and dim sum parlors. Most of Vancouver's upscale "foodie" restaurants are in the residential neighborhoods south of False Creek, which means that from Downtown you'll need to drive or take a short cab ride over one of the three bridges (Granville, Burrard, or Cambie). Be aware: High liquor taxes in British Columbia mean that wine prices in Vancouver restaurants can be exorbitant.
