Vancouver’s Pacific West Coast cuisine is a fusion of Asia, California and French that focuses on local seafood, meat and produce. The results are memorable.
West serves delicious, sophisticated food in an atmosphere to match. Diva at the Met, located in the Metropolitan hotel is one of the city’s best restaurants for Northwest cuisine.
Raincity Grill, near English Bay, and Tangerine, just up the street from Kitsilano beach, have both food and location to recommend them.
