About Vancouver magazine's Restaurant Awards

Established in 1990, the Vancouver Magazine Restaurant Awards is Canada’s largest and most prestigious culinary awards event and reflects Vancouver’s top ranking as the country’s leading culinary destination. Since inception, the event ceremony has continued to grow, to become a gala event, with an attendance of more than 700 guests.

Our 18th annual award ceremony was held on April 16, 2007 at the Sheraton Wall Centre in downtown Vancouver.
