The best restaurants in Vancouver have been revealed, and this dreamy spot has made the list. The Vancouver food scene is ever-changing, with countless award-winning eateries and an overwhelming amount of choices for your next night out.

That's why we turned to our local readers to see what the best of the best Vancouver restaurants are. People came through with local recommendations, from low-key spots like Northern Cafe and Grill, where you're guaranteed a tasty breakfast, to world-renowned gems like Lunch Lady.

Among them was also Nightingale, an aesthetic farm-to-table Vancouver restaurant that packs in local flavours and seasonal cocktails that will have you coming back. It's the spot to go for a night out with the girls or a date that doesn't feel too stuffy.

It's downtown, boasting a trendy vibe but with an approachability that's comfortable.

If you want dinner with a show, you can book the Chef's Tables here, sitting side-by-side with your date to watch the kitchen in action.

Like many of the best restaurants out there, the menu here is built for connection with shareable plates made to be enjoyed family-style.

You'll find comfort food like wood-fired pizzas, but there's still a slightly elevated feel to a night out here.

Nightingale puts a big emphasis on sourcing local, working with farmers, foragers, fishermen and growers in the area for its ingredients. It's a difference that you can taste in the dishes, like crisp salads with seasonal veggies and house-made pasta.

This spot also has an impressive list of cocktails to pair with a meal, with cute names like "cable knit sweater" and "fall fashioned" to celebrate the season.

Happy hour here runs every day from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m., and its location makes it especially ideal for grabbing a quick drink and snack after leaving the office.

If you don't want to take our word for it, Nightingale has also gotten the MICHELIN Recommended stamp of approval.

For a tasty dinner with local flavours, book a reso here.
