My personal favorite would have to be Japanese izakaya Hapa on Robson Street, fantastic service (even if it takes time to get a table at times) the food is great, I have observed using many if not all heads of Japan and just generally a very pleasant atmosphere.

Carmellos in West Van is a fantastic restaurant, besides Lumiere I would say definately the top in vancouver, my wife and I recently celebrated our 5th anniversary there and the service was fantastic. Other notables Hanjin in Yaletown, and Ly Thai in Burnaby .

Wow, this is a very nice list! You can travel there and bring this with you. The foods are certainly not disappointing.

I'm a big fan of Simply Thai. It has a great wine selection which is kind of ironic considering the style of food.

A quantity of the best restaurants, of course, have feet in both camps, looking at the job of their family and paying close heed to growers and the land, while using the latest tech and techniques to explain their best qualities to the table as plainly as likely. The very best do it invisibly.

Investment in fine wine has attracted fraudsters who prey on their victims' ignorance of this sector of the wine market. Wine fraudsters often work by charging excessively high prices for off-vintage or lower-status wines from famous wine regions, while claiming that they are offering a sound investment unaffected by economic cycles. Like any investment, proper research is essential before investing.
Thanks,

congrats to all the winners.....this restaurant is awesome along with the service they provide..im so glad to see the winners list...once again thanks for sharing the views with us.New York office space
I think that the restaurant of the year award should have gone to LIFT. This is a fantastic restaurant. Every time i eat there seeing the view is fantastic. Not to mention how great the food is. And every other time im there i see some of our local hockey playing canucks there as well (although i wont mention any names) =)

I've been to Le Crocodile and i liked it.

Excellent service.

Really? Les Faux Bourgeois? I was actually super-disappointed with them. Maybe it was an off night, but the service wasn't great, there was blood on my bread plate, and the food was only okay. Granted, the price was right, and it was trendy, but price alone shouldn't be enough to attract business, and the whole experience just didn't live up to the hype. However, La Quercia was tremendous. So, good call there.
For formal french dining in downtown vancouver Le Crocodile is fantastic, very intimate atmosphere, excellent food and a great selection of wines. They also had an amazing chocolate mousse the last time i was there,

Vancouver BC has some of my favorite restaurants, i am from the east coast and travel there each winter to see family and go skiing. I can't say enough good things about the city i am just in love with it. We sell restaurant equipment and have worked with a number of local places even a few in this article.
