Where they are
Bannock suits anyone who wants to taste the bread Indigenous cooks across North America have made their own, and Salmon n' Bannock on West Broadway in Vancouver bakes its signature bannock to serve with butter and berry jam. Destination Vancouver says two of the area's bannock businesses keep no fixed daily spot, so follow them on social media before you set out.
BC craft beer suits anyone who wants a pint brewed a few blocks from where it's poured, and in North Vancouver the Shipyards Brewery District puts several taprooms within about 800 metres of the SeaBus at Lonsdale Quay.
BC spot prawns suit seafood lovers who reach Vancouver in May or June, when the boats at False Creek Fishermen's Wharf and Steveston's Fisherman's Wharf sell them live.
BC wine suits anyone who wants the province's own bottles with dinner in Vancouver, and a BC VQA label means the grapes were 100% grown and the wine made in British Columbia.
The California roll suits sushi newcomers and anyone curious about Vancouver's claim on a dish served around the world, and Tojo's on West Broadway credits its chef Hidekazu Tojo with creating it.
Season Sushi bars serve it all year.
Chinese food in Richmond and Vancouver's Chinatown suits families and groups who want dim sum and Cantonese seafood, and Tourism Richmond's Dumpling Trail maps 15 dumpling kitchens in Richmond alone.
Japadog suits a hungry walker in downtown Vancouver who wants a hot dog dressed with Japanese flavours, and one of its trailers stands at Waterfront Station for a bite before the SeaBus to North Vancouver. Three of its four locations in the city of Vancouver are street trailers, so head to the Robson Street store when the winter rain sets in.
The Nanaimo bar suits anyone who wants a classic Canadian square with their coffee, and in North Vancouver BjornBar Bakery in Edgemont Village makes it among more than 30 dessert bars.
Sushi in Vancouver suits every budget from a neighbourhood roll to a counter omakase, and four of the 11 restaurants with Michelin stars in the city's 2026 guide are sushi counters.
Wild Pacific salmon suits anyone who wants the fish British Columbia is famous for, and menus from Lower Lonsdale to Steveston cook it all year.
The honey doughnut at Honey Doughnuts & Goodies on Gallant Avenue in Deep Cove suits anyone coming down from the Quarry Rock hike, and the shop opens from 6 am to 5 pm every day except Christmas Day and Boxing Day.
