Okeya Kyujiro

Japanese, Sushi · ★ Michelin

$$$$

Hosts dressed in stunning traditional clothing guide you to a dark room, lit only by the faintest glow from votive candles. A black curtain is raised ceremoniously only when the clock strikes the precise minute of your seating. These are the first clues that this is far from your typical omakase. From the premium, hyper-seasonal fish to the demonstration of sasagiri (traditional Japanese bamboo leaf carving), it is a memorable show from start to finish. Highlights include chawanmushi with crab, shatteringly crispy tempura sandbar fish, spicy firefly squid on a bamboo skewer, and a presentation

Sushi Hyun

$$$$

An unremarkable exterior belies the lavish omakase that awaits diners once they step inside Chef Juhyun Lee’s sophisticated oasis. Japanese luxury pervades every element of the meal, from exquisite seafood and hand-made ceramics to the silken, subtly fragrant hinoki counter (crafted from a tree more than two centuries old). Subtlety goes hand in hand with indulgence in Chef Lee’s meticulous preparations, with spectacular ingredient quality allowed to take the spotlight, from perfectly tempered Edomae-style nigiri to a comforting rice dish of fried karei flounder, a nod to his Korean background

Sushi Masuda

Japanese, Sushi · ★ Michelin

$$$$

Entering this humble six-seat counter that is tucked in the corner of an unrelated restaurant and through the glass doors of a print shop serves as a pointed reminder not to judge a book by its cover. The plain, spare room is brought to life by the artfully simple, meticulous preparations of Chef Yoji Masuda, whose time spent in a top counter in Tokyo is amply apparent, though his own personality comes through. With the assistance of his wife Akari, who provides a warm, attentive hospitality, the meal proceeds gracefully, from an indulgent savory "pudding" of sweet, pure-tasting monkfish liver

Contemporary · ★ Michelin

$$$$

You won't find white tablecloths or a formal atmosphere, but you will find one of Vancouver's most polished—and delicious—dining experiences. Effortless service, expertly prepared cocktails and unusually astute wine pairings are all part of the magic, but of course it's the seasonally inspired tasting menu that really steals the show. This globally accented cuisine consistently impresses, marrying precise technique and top-flight ingredients together in refined, focused dishes of exceptional clarity and depth of flavor. House-made torn bread, wagyu tartare, caramelized onions and red storm vel

iDen & QuanJuDe Beijing Duck House

chinese, beijing · ★ Michelin

$$$$

It has a pedigree that traces back to an original location in Beijing from 1864, but the latest outpost in Vancouver proves that this legacy hasn't lost any of its luster. Indeed, the gold-accented dining room is a feast for the eyes, blending classic opulence with strikingly modern design.They are best known for their superlatively crispy and juicy duck. Delicious as the signature fowl may be, there is plenty more: a bevy of other delicacies are on offer, including bird's nest, sea cucumber and even a whole king crab if you're up for a splurge. It's not all razzle-dazzle, though. The cooking

Kissa Tanto

japanese, italian, fusion · ★ Michelin

$$$$

Inspired by the jazz cafes of 1960s Tokyo, Kissa Tanto seduces with a moody vibe complete with white mosaic floors, antique Japanese panels and steely colored walls loaded with artwork and photos. This ambitious kitchen pulls no punches with its mingling of Japanese and Italian cuisine. The "omakase" menu pulls dishes from their à la carte offerings as well as a sprinkling of compelling off-menu items. The region's bounty is on full display in dishes such as roasted and fried celeriac served with onion and mushroom dashi. The cultural collision is best seen in dishes like the tajarin, hand-cut

Barbara

Contemporary · ★ Michelin

$$$$

Chef Patrick Hennessy spent time at many top spots, including Eleven Madison Park in New York, but he is clearly at home at Barbara. The kitchen feels like a stage, with guests perched at the L-shaped bar watching with bated breath as he performs culinary magic. Should you wonder where each item hails from, Chef Hennessy is happy to oblige (hint: it's local and sustainable), but most are focused on the here and now thanks to his refined techniques and sensational flavors. Oysters with local Northern Divine caviar are impeccable; crisply fried slices of Japanese eggplant with local honey and ch

$$$$

Charm abounds at this beloved Québécois bistro. Sit close enough to Chef/owner Jean-Christophe Poirier's kitchen to experience the heady aromas of his refined yet indulgent French-Canadian cooking, featuring ethereal sauces and a characteristic use of sweetness. The fixed menu changes seasonally, but signature additions like oreilles de crisse (crispy pig ears tossed in maple syrup and spices) and a savory éclair filled with duck liver mousse, are well worth considering for those who desire an extra hit of richness. Otherwise, the meal begins with thoughtful canapés and proceeds to heartier
