Restaurant Awards 2025, Editor’s Choice: Best Date Night

For the 2025 Vancouver Magazine Restaurant Awards, we continued our new tradition of Editors’ Choices: picks from our editorial team which highlight the rooms in the city that serve a specific purpose, in addition to having great food and service. 

Editors Choice: Best Date Night

Casa Molina may be a newcomer to Vancouver, but as soon as we sat down at one of the intimate tables inside the cozy converted house in Mount Pleasant, we knew that the Spanish restaurant brought a big dose of date night energy. The stellar selection of dishes—from ultra-crisp croquettas to Valencian-style paella—are best enjoyed shared (and what’s more romantic than letting your date take the last piece of jamón Ibérico while you polish off a glass of sangria?). The lighting is warm as a candle-lit tavern, but the best part of all is that it feels like a total escape—one where you and your love have been transported to Europe, and it’s just the two of you ready to embark on your next adventure.
