Frequently Asked Questions about Dining in Vancouver
Where are Vancouver's best restaurants?+
Top-rated picks span downtown Vancouver, Richmond, Kitsilano, Gastown, Mount Pleasant, and the Drive. Use our Top-Rated section and filter by neighbourhood or cuisine to find what fits.
What's the difference between Vancouver and Richmond?+
Downtown Vancouver leans toward fine dining, omakase, modern Asian fusion, and seafood. Richmond is the heartland of authentic Cantonese, Hong Kong-style, Northern Chinese, and Shanghainese cooking. Some Richmond menus aren't even printed in English.

Yes. CHOPSBOOK's Vancouver page covers all of British Columbia. Burnaby's restaurant scene along Lougheed Highway and Surrey's growing food corridor are both well represented.

About Dining in Vancouver
Vancouver is widely considered one of the best food cities in North America. World-class seafood from BC's coast meets one of the deepest international communities on the continent. Walk down No. 3 Road in Richmond for Cantonese, Hong Kong-style, and Northern Chinese. Head to Commercial Drive for Italian. Try Punjabi Market in Surrey for South Asian, downtown for fine dining and omakase, or Granville Island for seafood and bakery culture.
CHOPSBOOK's Vancouver and BC guide draws on that depth. Our reviewers cover the full region, Vancouver, Richmond, Burnaby, Surrey, Coquitlam, North Vancouver, and West Vancouver, surfacing the city's strongest restaurants across every cuisine: Cantonese, Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese, Italian, French, Indian, Mexican, Persian, Filipino, plus cafés, bakeries, and brunch.
Filter by neighbourhood to drill into Richmond's Cantonese stronghold, Burnaby's Korean Town along Lougheed, Surrey's South Asian corridor, the Drive's Italian heritage, or downtown Vancouver's fine-dining row. Filter by cuisine to compare options side by side. Every restaurant page has verified menus, photo galleries, opening hours, and recent reviews.
BC's seafood quality is unmatched in Canada, and that shows in our top-rated lists. Our Newly Added section helps you stay ahead of openings; Most-Reviewed shows the places generations of BC diners keep returning to.
