L’Abbatoir
$$$ | 217 Carrall St.| Cuisine: French/West Coast | Website Situated between historic Gaoler’s Mews and Blood Alley, right in the heart of Gastown, L’Abattoir is located on the site of Vancouver’s first city jail. The building was eventually converted into the city’s main butchery, providing the restaurant with its macabre name (‘slaughterhouse’ in French). L’Abattoir aims to highlight the finer points of dining in its “informed but informal” setting. But it’s the innovative French-influenced...
Wildebeest
$$$ | 120 W. Hastings St.| Cuisine: Modern American | Website Of all the best things to do in Vancouverfor meat eaters, I recommend this old-school nose-to-tail joint. They aim to use the entirety of the animal in a variety of dishes on their contemporary farm-to-table menu served in the West-coast style. All meat, seafood, and produce are locally sourced: free range and organic. In fact, executive chef Ian McHale goes so far as to consult with local farmers to choose the diet of each animal...
St. Lawrence
$$$$ | 269 Powell St. | Cuisine: French/Québécois | Website There’s proof of just how far Gastown restaurants have come in the last decade when you visit St. Lawrence. Since opening in 2017, chef J.C Poirier has won numerous awards serving classical French cuisine that’s heavily influenced by his Québécoisupbringing. But don’t come here expecting Poutine. Poirier offers elevated French country cookingat its finest. Start out with a light endive salad with blue cheese or, if you’re feeling ext...
Ask for Luigi
$$$ | 305 Alexander St.| Cuisine: Italian | Website Italian food in a casual, intimate setting that’s more like Nonna’s house than one of the most renowned Italian restaurants in the country. And yet it is. I always start with an aperitivo like a spritz or bicicletta. Then, I hit the appetizers. My personal fave is the bocconcini fritti: deep-fried bite-sized pieces of homemade mozzarella. Bundles of fried goodness? Chickety check. The hand-made pasta is the star here, though. Favourites incl...
Moltaqa Moroccan Restaurant
$$$ | 51 W. Hastings St. | Cuisine: Moroccan | Website The fragrant smells, vibrant colours and even the gyrating belly dancersare culturally and gastronomically about as far from Canada as you can get. Unfamiliar with Moroccan? It’s a delicious combo of Berber, Arab, Spanish and French. And it’s absolutely jam-packed full of vibrancy, colour and flavour. The key to Moroccan cooking is the ancient clay cooking vessel called the tagine, which guarantees unparalleled tenderness in whatever it c...
Pidgin
$$$ | 350 Carrall St. | Cuisine: Asian Fusion | Website This stylish eaterywill challenge your preconceptions about what can be accomplished within the confines of Asian cuisine. For executive chef Wesley Young, this involves combining traditional Asian flavours with modern techniques and European sensibilities. Similarly, Pidgin aims to blur the lines between casual and fine dining. This approach leads to a room that is both beautiful and comfortable and a cuisine that is delicate yet approa...
Meat and Bread
$ | 370 Cambie St. | Cuisine: Sandwiches | Website Who says the best restaurants in Gastown have to cost a lot? This beauty here found success employing a very simple concept: putting delicious pieces of meatbetween two pieces of bread. These are not just your everyday sandwiches. Each item is prepared using quality ingredients, culinary skills, and a lot of heart. Their mantra “we aren’t sandwich artists, we’re chefs” says it all. Go for the signature porchetta sandwich with cracklings and s...
Kita No Donburi
$ | 423 Seymour St. | Cuisine: Japanese | Website This Donburi restaurant right near the Vancouver Lookoutis at the top of my favourite places to eat in Gastown – and probably all of Vancouver. They’re nourishing and healthy while remaining quick and cheap. This combination has regrettably eluded most North American fast-food fare. Until you see these complex Japanese rice bowlsserved at fast-food prices. My personal favourite is the sha-ke don, featuring three kinds of salmon, ikura, avocado...
La Taqueria Pinche Taco Shop
$ | 322 W. Hastings St. | Cuisine: Tacos | Website La Taqueria is one of the most prominent examples of a Vancouver foodexplosion set off by our North American cousins in Mexico. Each dish leaving their kitchen is made using traditional Mexican recipesthat exclusively use local, organic, and sustainable products. You can choose from a large selection of classic tacos or opt for a burrito or quesadilla. Personally, I like to grab a variety of tacos (4 for $10.50) and wash them down with a cold...
