Vancouver loves a great steak, and Elisa keeps proving it’s the best. For the second straight year this Yaletown staple takes gold, blending old-school decadence with modern, ingredient-driven finesse. “The room feels like an occasion,” said one judge. Every cut here is next-level—sustainably farmed, expertly sourced and grilled over B.C. birch, apple and alder woods for a smoky depth. The wine list? Meticulously curated. The service? Flawless. And the sides? Indulgent yet essential—the burgundy truffle and comté mac and cheese had judges raving. While the A5 wagyu and dry-aged rib eye reign supreme, the sleeper hit is the whole chicken, slow-roasted in a jus of garlic, lemon, tarragon, thyme and winter truffle. Elegant but never stuffy, indulgent but never excessive, Elisa nails the balance between nostalgia and innovation. Gotham edges up to silver, earning raves for its flawlessly cooked cuts and refined atmosphere. Hy’s takes bronze, dishing out old-school charm, pitch-perfect rib eyes and a side of nostalgia (looking at you, onion rings and cheesy bread).
