Towering mountains, sweeping valleys, and pristine abundant water is what the Vancouver area is known for. It’s more than photogenic – it makes for fertile farmlands, lush orchards and thriving ocean life. Add to this the cultural mosaic of traditions from the people who have lived here for thousands of years and brought by the people who have settled here, and you have the makings of a very exciting culinary scene.

In every region and neighbourhood, you’re as likely to find home-style comfort food as you are new and surprising takes on global cuisine, all made with fresh locally grown produce, caught-that-day seafood, and ethically and sustainably raised meats. As well as delicious cheese, honey, beer, and more hand-crafted joy.

It’s farm to table to a whole new level.
