Canadian Restaurants near West Vancouver, BC

“Alicia moved through the room like practiced grace,
Balancing plates, balancing time,
Each table a small promise she kept
With a smile that never rushed, never faded.

She learned the rhythm of the restaurant—
The first rush, the quiet lull,
The way a guest’s shoulders soften
When they’re truly cared for.

Milestones passed in clinks of glasses,
Birthdays, promotions, first dates, last exams,
All stitched together by her steady service,
By water refilled before it was missed.

The food arrived just right
Warm, fragrant, beautifully plated,
Each bite reminding us why we came,
Why we stayed a little longer than planned.

Good service made the meal memorable,
Good food made the moment last,
And somewhere between the two
A simple dinner became a celebration.

If meals are measured in memories,
Then this one was counted well
Served by Alicia, with care,
And a kitchen that knew exactly what it was doing.“

“Excellent location. Warm, inviting atmosphere. Excellent staff from the greeter to the seater to the kitchen and serving staff. Food is excellent and served hot and tasty. Our server, Yasmin S. was professional, friendly, helpful and listened well. She offered good suggestions and catered to our every need. Made my friend’s birthday lunch very enjoyable for both of us. The Park Royal location is great and we’ve never been disappointed by eating there. The staff, food and atmosphere are lovely.“

“Looking for a great spot to eat in West Vancouver? 🌊✨
Just one block from Park Royal Mall, this restaurant is a must-try! We highly recommend it — every dish is absolutely delicious, with excellent prices and a wide variety of food to choose from. 🍽️
Their drinks are also great, and don’t miss their Happy Hour from 2 PM to 5 PM every day! 🍹🎉“

“I had the Bangkok bowl with sautéed shrimp and it was fantastic. Happy hour prices from 2:00 pm to 5:00 pm. We hit this at the perfect time. Super friendly and beautiful staff.“

“To the staff at the Botanist - Thank you for surprising my mom with the dessert treat with candle for her birthday lunch. My mom shared that everything was delicious and the service was impeccable. Being able to enjoy a meal at the Botanist while staying at the Fairmont Pac Rim for her birthday was exactly what she had wished for in memory of her late daughter, my sister. Thank you for creating a thoughtful and kind memorable experience on my mother's first birthday celebrated without her first born. My mom and I will continue to keep our traditions and memories alive at the Pac Rim and Botanist as the food and service never fail. ❤️“

“Lovely meal and evening, in a beautiful setting. Appreciated the friendly and attentive staff, and the wonderful meal.“

“It is superb! Great link between front of the house, our server + Rev, and the kitchen. Fabulous good, atmosphere and wine. Will be back soon. 🥂“

“We came for a good bye dinner with our team. Our company closed and Glowbal was selected by numerous recommendations from our other colleagues. It was an amazing atmosphere and definitely super-tasty food. When the time for dessert came, our beautiful waitresses came with our ordered sweet cake with “Happy Unemployment “ writing on the plate. It was a bittersweet moment for all of us but our mood instantly switched to laughter and we almost forgot the cause of our gathering“

“The hostesses at the front are vibrant and charming. They offer a complimentary glass of champagne to sip while you’re waiting. If you don’t imbibe, they will accommodate your soft drink request. We were seated at a table on the patio which is very close to the street. So if you choose to sit on the patio, There will be city sounds which, apart from the occasional siren, quickly dissolves into the artful landscaping. Raven, our server, was friendly and cheerful, in addition to being appropriately attentive. We started with the mini steak French dips. Expertly seasoned and grilled, new york steak strips over a button of gruyere cheese atop a tiny slice of sourdough garlic bread with a side of au jus. These were quite more-ish. I recommend them. My husband enjoyed the Mediterranean salad and I liked my seared ahi tuna salad very much. The tuna is sliced thicker than carpaccio but thinner than sushi and gently seared. The plating was elegant and the salad finely chopped with bits of mango and shaved avocado on the top.. I tasted a bit of mint leaf and the light dressing was truly perfect. The staff pay attention to the guests and, when your server is busy, they make themselves available for your needs. It appears the staff members enjoy each other’s company as well as their jobs. I observed real teamwork throughout. We had the apple pie for dessert. On its own it is delicious with a caramel apple filling and it’s flaky , buttery and crunchy crus. It can easily be shared by three people and would have been enough. But do’gild the lily’ by adding the Canadian maple ice cream. We felt comfortable and satisfied. We were pleased with every bite and the Joey Burrard experience from start to finish. We will definitely go back and try some other offerings. Go and have fun. And talk to the very friendly staff who are so willing to engage.“

“Shout out to Salmon n' Bannock Bistro for such an amazing dinner for our Anniversary last night 🧡 The food was to die for and reminded me of home. 🥰 The candied salmon was my favorite! The atmosphere was beautiful and everyone was incredibly lovely. Highly highly recommend you go check them out 🫶🏽“

“We recently celebrated my husbands 40th birthday with an amazing dinner at Nightingale! There were 12 of us and had a family style dinner, which every plate that came out was amazing. I wish I lived in Vancouver because I would frequent Nightingale weekly. Service was prompt and they were consistently keeping the drinks flowing.“

“Amazing food 10/10 heard about it from a friend, will definitely be back“

“Amazing service from Olivia. This lady is one of the best if not the best servers I have ever had at any restaurant bar-none!!“

“We ordered the set menu and everything was amazing! I haven’t been to a place where I was wowed by every dish for a while and the Mackenzie absolutely nailed the menu. The uni pate (the chicken of the sea) was so delicious that we ordered uni pate again at a different place with different seasoning and it’s not even close. Loved the cocktails too!“

“Great service, great atmosphere and fantastic food“

“Over many years of meals and events, I recently discovered Hawksworth's Cocktail Hour in its cozy lounge. Every seat in the room is a comfy one, though I favour saddling up to the bar. You will always find a cocktail or wine to your liking. We usually order near everything from the food menu. Sometimes wagyu, currently prosciutto, always oysters. Main reason I keep coming back is the people. Service in this space never disappoints. I have favourites, of course. You know who you are...“

“Great food, awesome atmosphere, and even better service!“

“I went there and food and service was amazing. it's such a experience you have to try it. amazing“

“Absolutely wonderful staff, beautiful location and cool hotel.“

“Amazing food and attentive service. The King Salmon with the gnocchi was incredible subtle and delicious. We also really loved the pumpkin mille-feuille twist. Those were Bib Gourmand worsy. We felt like the Cyprus bawl was a bit lower on the standards so we'll ll probably not reorder that one but for sure we are coming back here. Quiet and elegant atmosphere yet not pretentious.“

“I was at the Capilano Suspension bridge park recently to see the Halloween display and it did not disappoint! Even through the rain it was a great time, and we stopped at the Cliffhouse Restaurant for a couple of drinks and to warm up and it was excellent. Our server Dorsa was so lovely and made sure we always had full drinks, the vibe in there was a surprising 10/10, definitely coming back in the Summer to enjoy the patio!“

“I brought my mom to Published on Main on a mother-daughter night out. The food was amazingly delicious, and service top-notch. We had a memorable night together sharing love and a wonderful culinary experience. Will definitely return for more!“

“We ate here as a party of 8 and really enjoyed our meal. The view of the harbor is great! Staff are friendly and accommodating. Took a while to get our food but it came out nice and fresh, and our drink orders came out right away. Would recommend this place if you want to eat at the harbor.“

“We had a delicious meal at Cactus Club on Broadway. Dreyden our server was welcoming and gave us excellent recommendations on food options. The dining area is very comfortable with plush booth seating by the windows. There were festive holiday white lights and lamps with the flames creating a warm atmosphere.
The hot and juicy truffle chicken entree was outstanding as was the chocolate molten lava cake.“

“great service. yummy food! i recommend 100%“

“Excellent food and service“

“While some may find dining at Cactus Club to be a somewhat generic experience, I find the menu to be full of appealing and tasty choices. This Cactus Club sits right on English Bay Beach and the unimpeded views out to the Bay are spectacular in any weather. You cannot do better in the West End for good value Happy Hour on a Tuesday when bottles of wine go for half-price. We always seem to get outstandingly friendly servers who take very good care of us. Cactus Club English Bay is definitely our go-to local restaurant when we're looking for good food in a casual elegant atmosphere.“

“Went for Easter Monday lunch. Food was awesome, I had the roasted turkey sandwich and my friend had the Cajun chicken sandwich (she was able to get it dairy free). Both were really tasty and great portions for the price. Workers were also very kind. Good seating options and bathrooms. Def would come back :)“

“The food was beautiful and the service couldn't be faulted. Great experience.“

“Skylar was an awesome server! The food was fresh and super tasty. So glad we tried it!“

“Pet friendly !!! Loved the food options!!!“

“Server Maria is especially pleasant and good at her job! The place has amazingly good food including homemade pies. This restaurant (diner style) is rich in history, decorative, and has great service. All of this is well tied together by that server who is very competent and friendly!🙂 Sometimes tasty food is not enough.“

“Made feel very welcome by the friendly staff, stylish decor and subdued lighting with seating that was spacious to provide that intimate atmosphere. Menu was extensive and the food was great, particularly loved the treacle sponge 😋 Bar area had TVs and music was playing for those that wanted a more social vibe.“

“It's was ok may be because I am anti social and I was in on Saturday nothing wrong with the place amazing vibe for extrovert people ( edited ). Visited tonight while I am enjoy the meal place seems nice the bartender at the bar exactly this time is amazing person and love the service as well, and if someone wanna have an amazing dinner come to this place thank you for making this good experience.... 👍“

“We were thrilled with our order from Browns Socialhouse! The presentation and quality were outstanding—better than “to go” meals we’ve had elsewhere.

5/5 VERY HAPPY customers! From hot dishes to cold items and combos like the fish tacos with salad, everything was fresh, delicious, and perfectly prepared.

We’ll definitely be ordering again!“

“Eh! Restaurant lives up to its intriguing name by delivering an enjoyable dining experience that leaves you saying "Eh!" with a satisfied smile. Whether you're an adventurous foodie r just looking for a nice meal in a charming setting, I highly recommend giving Eh! Restaurant a try. It's a hidden culinary gem that deserves to be discovered and appreciated by food lovers in the city.“

“We just had the most welcoming experience at Browns Socialhouse in Lower Lonsdale! The Widowmaker beer, the burgers, and all the flavors were amazing. Our server, Abby, was absolutely wonderful and made us feel right at home.

Since it was our first time here, we were pleasantly surprised when someone brought a delicious (and beautifully presented) dessert to our table as a first-time welcome gesture. It was such an unexpected and thoughtful touch that left us with a truly great feeling.

Not only will we definitely be back, but we’ll also be recommending this place to all our family and friends. Thank you for such an exceptional experience!“

“I recently visited Cactus Club and tried several dishes, including the Szechuan Lettuce Wraps, Sushi, Baja Fish Tacos, and Chipotle Chicken Tacos. Everything was tasty, but I absolutely loved the Baja Fish Tacos — they were fresh, flavorful, and definitely my favourite. I would go back just for those!“

“The atmosphere together with great food and an amazing staff truly make a great and memorable evening“

“Brunch here was second to none and our server Pauly made our experience top notch. Highly recommend!“

“Had an amazing time at Earls Robson! Mil was absolutely wonderful—so sweet and attentive. Her service was everything and truly made the experience special. She made every moment count and greeted us with the warmest smile. I would definitely come back. Thanks, Mil! 😊“

“Went last weekend with any family. The staff were very accommodating of a large group. And went out of their way to rectify a couple of miscommunications that happened in the kitchen. The food was amazing and a restaurant that goes out of their way to ensure customer satisfaction is a rarity. 5 stars in every possible way for Earl’s.“

“Last night we celebrated my bestie’s birthday in a new winter wonderland patio at Earls Yaletown, and honestly.. it felt like a dream🥹❄️✨✨ The vibes were so cozyyy, but what made the night truly unforgettable are our cutest server Kelly and the coolest manager Dan. 🥰🥰 Kelly made us feel so welcomed and special as you can see from smile on my face hehe, and her energy set the tone for such a happy celebration. PS she is also a cool photographer ;)
And then there was THE manager, Dan, definition of caring and warm hospitality. He checked on us so kindly and you could tell he genuinely cared. It wasn’t just service, it was hosted with pure heart ♥️

Thank you Kelly and Dan for making my friend’s birthday night so special 💛

10/10 can’t wait to come back!!! ✨✨✨“

“A decent restaurant that worth Michelin recommended. All the dishes are to the satisfactory level. The little surprise is the appetizer steak tartare which the fried shiso matches well with the beef and chutoro. The baked oysters are done to perfection. Lamb saddle portion as main is quite small. The desserts are just so so.“

“We were at lunch there for the first time and the service staff is very friendly and cheerful while the menu is extensive to suit all different preferences. We were overjoyed to find the delicious substantial real roast beef sandwich au jus and a smaller portion of one piece fish and chips available. The price is very reasonable and we vowed to go back to try all the upcoming special features dinner for Christmas 🎄 😀“

“Beautiful room and great food.“

“Great Room, fantastic Staff. So easy to hold a function.“
