As a city with a diverse population, Vancouver’s dining scene ranges from classic Westcoast cuisine, seafood joints around the famed seawall, exotic dining in neighbourhoods and bakeries that can be smelled from blocks away. Whether you are going for aesthetics or dishes you’ve never heard of before, there’s no shortage of dining selections in the city, but there are a few spots that are as unique as the people living here.
