Vancouver city guide

Kissa Tanto

For the Japanese-Italian pasta

Tannis Ling, Joël Watanabe and Alain Chow of Bao Bei tighten their hold on Chinatown with this tucked-away second-floor spot that evokes a 1960s Tokyo jazz club. The My Private Tokyo cocktail, a play on an amaretto sour, delights with its plum-salt rim. Chef Watanabe’s cooking marries Japanese and Italian: Chewy housemade tajarin egg noodles, tossed in butter and miso-cured egg yolk, are topped with a medley of mushrooms, including shiitake and porcini. Tiramisu features whipped soy and plum-wine-soaked ladyfingers.

263 E. Pender St., Vancouver 778-379-8078 kissatanto.com

Osteria Savio Volpe

For a family-style Italian meal

This bright and clean-lined Mount Pleasant osteria, designed by Craig Stanghetta, proposes luxurious family-style Italian fare, like on-the-bone bistecca alla fiorentina cooked over fire. Chef Mark Perrier works in an open kitchen preparing tortellini stuffed with new potato and green garlic; a pretty dish of white anchovy with radish and soft-cooked farm egg is served over a silky green sauce of blended herbs and bread. The wine list traverses Italy from top to bottom, and batch-made negronis are poured from wine bottles.

615 Kingsway St., Vancouver 604-428-0072 saviovolpe.com

Rain or Shine Ice Cream

For the buzz-worthy cones

With a weatherproof name, this ice cream shop has developed a coterie of year-round devotees who can’t get enough of their Salted Caramel, London Fog or Blueberry Balsamic. They also dutifully line up for waffle-cone “tacos” filled with two scoops of ice cream on Taco Tuesdays.

1926 W. 4th Ave., Vancouver 604-428-7246 rainorshineicecream.com

Matchstick

For a java jolt

Vancouverites revel in the Pacific Northwest trait of treating coffee like it was cold fusion. The myriad spots that employ beakers and atomically precise measurements in search of the perfect brew are endless, but the Matchstick mini-chain excels at making a great cup. It also bakes some of the city’s best housemade bread.

639 E. 15th Ave., Vancouver 604-558-0639 matchstickyvr.com

Hawksworth

For the most inventive cuisine

SPONSORED
The jewel in Vancouver’s culinary crown, Hawksworth restaurant continually sits atop the city’s best fine-dining lists, offering elevated à la carte dishes and an imaginative seasonally changing, multi-course B.C. Journey Menu. Cocktails are creative and locally inspired and the wine list is deep and diverse.

801 West Georgia St., Vancouver 604-673-7000 hawksworthrestaurant.com

Keefer Bar

For the seasonal cocktails

In Vancouver’s up-and-coming Chinatown, local haunt the Keefer Bar is dark and daring. Drinks listed as “prescriptions” at this cocktail apothecary use ingredients like deer-antler bitters and red cardamom. Ask the bartender about the Fountain Cocktail, a curatively delicious and ever-changing daily concoction.

135 Keefer St., Vancouver 604-688-1961 thekeeferbar.com

Grapes & Soda

For the natural wine

This intimate 25-seat natural-wine bar, the first of its kind in Vancouver, is located next door to its sister restaurant – and Canada’s Best New Restaurant 2014 runner-up – Farmer’s Apprentice. Grapes & Soda shares the same hyper-locavore philosophy, but here the wine is the focus. Grab a seat at one of the rustic wood tables – complete with cellphone drawers – and order a bottle of Frank Cornelissen Contadino, grown biodynamically on the slopes of Mount Etna in Sicily, and pair it with a plate of duck confit with carrots, apple and greens.

1541 W. 6th Ave., Vancouver 604-336-2456 grapesandsoda.ca

St. Lawrence

For the foie-gras-filled French-Québécois cuisine

Pacific Rim-, sushi- and downward-dog-oriented B.C. loves its foie-gras-filled French-Québécois cuisine. This cozy, teal-panelled spot excels at fat tranches of smoked-ham-studded pâté en croûte accompanied by two kinds of mustard and bottomless crocks of cornichons. Sautéed sweetbreads with mashed potatoes and morels are doused with a deep, savoury jus. The team weaves cheerfully between tables, bearing cocktails of fresh watermelon, pastis, gin and cherry liqueur, and brightly acidic natural wines.

269 Powell St., Vancouver 604-620-3800 stlawrencerestaurant.com

Como Taperia

For the chorizo and Basque cider

Pours of on-tap vermouth and sherry zip by at warp speed as servers strive to keep up with the thirsty crowd at this jumping Mount Pleasant watering hole, named #2 on the 2019 Canada’s Best New Restaurants Top 10 list. Salty, addictive, traditional small plates of Madrid and Barcelona range from canned conservas (razor clams served with imported potato chips and Catalan Espinaler hot sauce) to whipped potatoes with a crispy-edged deep-fried egg (yolk still molten), finished with a bright orange slick of chorizo and pimentón. Still thirsty? Wash it down with a Bereziartua Basque cider, poured from on high in the flamboyant manner of the region.

201 E 7th Ave., Vancouver 604-879-3100 comotaperia.com/

Ugly Dumpling

For the pork dumplings

Don’t be fooled by this restaurant’s name. Yes, there are plump daily dumplings on the menu (today’s stuffed with pork, cabbage and miso), but so much more. Our shy server from Tokyo, flashing a mouthful of silver, brings us smooth sake, gin, cucumber and lemon verbena cocktails. Then come soy-and-vinegar-dressed Kelowna morels and crispy-skinned duck breast with a side smear of dark-green fermented yuzu chili paste – somehow made even better by a dry, fruity Hakuin Masamune Tokubetsu Junmai. If only every neighbourhood hang with a rustic, laid-back vibe served comfort food as accomplished and confident as Darren Gee’s. No wonder it was a contender for Canada’s Best New Restaurants in 2019

Granville Island Public Market

For the freshest local fare

Perched on the waters of False Creek, this is ground zero for 100-mile fare like terrines and sausage (Oyama Sausage Co. for juniper and wild-boar charcuterie), fresh shellfish and small-batch sake (Artisan Sake Maker for premium food pairings).

For the private tour

The Soap Dispensary and Kitchen Staples

For the eco-friendly products

Open since 2011, the city’s first dedicated refill store is a favourite among eco-conscious Vancouverites looking to stock up on all-natural soaps, household cleaners, simple glass dispensers and DIY ingredients like beeswax and essential oils (it stocks over 800 bulk items). In recent years, the shop has moved beyond soaps, offering workshops, kitchen tools and local food products ranging from freshly milled flour to grains and legumes.

3718 Main St., Vancouver 604-568-3141 thesoapdispensary.com

Out & About

For the Japanese objects

West Cordova’s Out & About boutique lines airy shelves with quality everyday objects – think small-scale Muji – and specializes in Japanese-made and -inspired household items, like tea-party-ready pots and glassware.

Info about getting from the airport, public transportation and more.

Getting from the Airport

The Canada Line connects the airport to the SkyTrain transit network, reducing the travel time to 25 minutes and the cost to $5. Cabs from the airport are a flat fee to various quadrants of the city (from $20).

Public Transportation

The SkyTrain light rail network, which runs along Cambie to Richmond and includes the Canada Line, makes it a very efficient way to get around. translink.ca

Taxis

If you want a taxi, it’s best to call for one; otherwise, you’ll spend 10 minutes trying to hail one unless you’re right outside a hotel. Travelling by taxi can get expensive: One trip across a bridge runs up the meter dramatically and a 15% tip is usually expected. The Zoro app (Zoroapp.com) allows customers to book any cab in the vicinity from their mobile devices.
