Vancouver, a cosmopolitan city, is the third largest metropolitan area in Canada. It is very well-known for its natural beauty, tourist attractions, being the host of 2010 Winter Olympics, … and a huge selection of restaurants, coffee shops, and bars. According to WikiTravel website, in Vancouver, “you are likely to dine better and for cheaper than most other places in North America.”

From Kitsilano on the west side of the city to downtown and Gastown and Yaletown, and from Richmond to North and West Vancouver, you can easily find an incredible variety of restaurants and eateries. There are many Asian restaurants, including affordable “all you can eat” Sushi bars, Greek tavernas and Italian pizzerias. You can find many restaurants serving French and German cuisine, as well as Chinese, Thai, Korean, Persian, Turkish, Vietnamese, and African foods. It is always easy to find pleasant Vegetarian dishes everywhere.

The prices range from affordable, to … well, not affordable! There are many coupons in magazines and local publications for “two for one” meals. Some restaurants also offer discount meals during more quite hours. Looking for them is a fun adventure!

There are many restaurants with a great family ambiance. The waiters and waitresses are often very friendly. After all, this is Vancouver! The great quality of service forces you to leave a generous tip unfortunately!
