Verified user reviews
The observation tower restaurant Top of Vancouver won the 2020 Golden Plate Award. The beautiful scenery and exquisite food are a good choice for you. You can choose brunch, a three-course meal, or a glass of red wine or Starbucks coffee. The beautiful scenery, wine and beautiful people will definitely make you beautiful~
The views are incredible, so you won't get anything like it anywhere else in Vancouver. You can watch the sun go down, the city lights come on, and the bay is beautiful. The food is good, but expensive. Obviously, you're paying for the experience. We really had a great time here.

#joeforts was a sailor, originally from Barbados, and a legendary figure in #Vancouver's history. He immigrated to Vancouver in 1885 and worked as a bartender at a hotel in #gastown. At the same time, as an unofficial security guard, he taught hundreds of children how to swim. When he died in 1922, Vancouver residents spontaneously mourned him and formed the longest funeral procession in Vancouver. Even in the 21st century, Vancouverites have built many memorial sites near his home, and many libraries and restaurants were named after him in 1985, a hundred years after he came to Vancouver. Now gourmets from home and abroad are flocking to taste their seafood. The more famous one is the Happy Hour of one dollar for an oyster 🦪, which has now risen to one dollar and a half; there are also lobster 🦞burgers, signature coffee cakes, etc. Interested friends can go and try it.
Lunch: Joe Fortes seafood &chop house.
The bread with vinaigrette was good for appetizers. We ordered a portion of lobster soup for two people, and the store thoughtfully divided it into two portions. It was delicious. We ordered crab cakes and fried oysters, but I still think oysters should be more delicious in their original flavor. You can sit at the bar and watch the waiter open the oysters. We followed the principle of not wasting and finished the plate.

A well-known Japanese snack bar in Vancouver. The chicken nuggets there are very good and the chicken is very tender. The beef rice is delicious with a lot of beef.
A very famous Japanese restaurant in Vancouver. The decoration is also very Japanese style, as if you went to a Japanese restaurant in Kyoto. The Japanese cuisine is very authentic.

Absolutely delicious!
The coffee was smooth, creamy and top quality.
The staff were also very friendly and helpful, helping us get extra plates or other items if we needed them!
The pastries and breakfast croissants were simply amazing; you could taste the fresh fruit in each one and the cream was just the right amount, not too sweet!

📍Arcana Spirit Lounge
A new bar in Gastown, Vancouver, with an interesting tarot theme and a great atmosphere. The drinks are named after different characters in the tarot cards. There is a big star plate engraved on the table. After ordering a drink, the waiter will quietly give you a tarot card.
📍Key Party
My favorite speakeasy bar, it looks a bit like a retro office at the door, and it is hard to find if you don't look carefully. After passing through the office and knocking on the door of the bar, it is a completely different world. It is relatively small inside, with a retro and mysterious style. The atmosphere is full, and the drinks are delicious.
📍The Keefer Bar
A Chinese medicine-themed bar located in Chinatown, this bar is on the list of various Canadian best bars all year round. The drinks are well-mixed and I have had several very delicious drinks. I strongly recommend the cocktail Overnight Crush, which is refreshing and delicious with lychee milk foam. If you drink shots, I recommend kaffir lime pie, which is like lemon cheesecake melted in the wine, with a sweet and rich milky aroma. The Chinese snacks here are also good. I was surprised that there are handmade dumplings here. I feel that they are better than those made in some Chinese restaurants. It is a bar that I would like to go to often.
📍Laowai
A Chinese-themed bar also located in Chinatown, it is a speakeasy bar that requires a code to enter. It is said to have the most complete collection of Chinese liquor in North America. The style feels more formal and can be used for business gatherings. The wine list of this bar is like a book. Each wine has its own story, which is quite interesting. It can be seen that this bar has been carefully designed by people who really understand Chinese culture from decoration to wine list. But this cocktail is easy to step on thunder. Some of the combinations with strange tastes feel that the flavors of different wines are not well integrated.
📍Bartholomew
A European-style bistro in Yaletown, it lacks some distinctive features compared to the previous bars, but the food and drinks are not bad. It is more white, and it is a bar that cheese lovers will like.

First of all, it's not cheap, but the management is great, the owner and waiter were very nice to us. The two dishes we ordered were very delicious, you can't go wrong with this choice. Recommend to give it a try!
It's a very nice bar. I like the environment inside. I chose white wine instead of red wine. The taste is not too astringent. The beef tastes very good. The salad vegetables are very fresh and the music is very nice.

Absolutely delicious. Rich and layered. The best food we have had anywhere in the world. Great service, great atmosphere, and great cocktails. If we lived here, we would eat here all the time.
This small shop is very nice. The salads are very good, the fried chicken has a bit of Japanese flavor, the soup is very refreshing, and the vegetables are similar to bean sprouts, but they are all raw and inedible.
