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.

"OpenTable has launched Icons, a new destination and designation for its best of the best restaurants. The list of Icons was designed to reflect the iconic status of these restaurants with enhanced branding and an elevated search experience," the release said.

All of the spots on the list are pretty well-known and acclaimed for their menus and top-notch standards. If you want a bucket-list foodie list so you can eat your way through the flavours of the city, or need some good recommendations to have in your back pocket, look no further.

The Vancouver Icon list includes these hot-spot restaurants:

  • Acquafarina
  • AMA
  • Barbara Restaurant – Vancouver
  • Dovetail
  • Fiorino - Italian Street Food
  • Hawksworth Restaurant
  • Le Crocodile
  • Mott 32 – Vancouver
  • Nammos Estiatorio
  • Nightingale
  • Okeya Kyujiro Vancouver
  • Per Se Social Corner
  • Selene Aegean Bistro
  • Song (By Kin Kao)

Make sure to book a reservation quickly, because these award-winning restaurants are some of the trendiest places in the city.
