Vancouver
Eating and Drinking
Vancouver’s restaurants are some of Canada’s finest, and span the price spectrum from budget to blowout. If you want to eat well, you’ll be spoilt for choice - and you won’t have to spend a fortune to do so. As you’d expect, the city also offers a wide range of ethnic cuisines. Chinese and Japanese cuisines have the highest profile (though the latter tend to be expensive), followed by Italian, Greek and other European imports. Vietnamese, Cambodian, Thai and Korean are more recent arrivals and can often provide the best starting points - cafés and the ubiquitous fast-food chains aside - if you’re on a tight budget. Specialist seafood restaurants are surprisingly thin on the ground, but those that exist are of high quality and often remarkably cheap. In any case, seafood does crop up on most menus and salmon is heavily featured. Vegetarians are well served by a number of specialist places.
