Vancouver's 'best of the best restaurants' were revealed and here's which spots made it
The best restaurants in Vancouver were put under the spotlight, in OpenTable's recent list of 'Icon' spots in the city.
Vancouver's food scene is renowned, but this list breaks down the "best of the best" places that are must-try for anyone on the West Coast. From French bistros and Michelin-starred restaurants to local favourites tucked away in corners of the city – there's a little bit of everything on the list.
