Unquestionably the buzziest opening in recent memory. “Hipsters and oldsters alike” flock to Bao Bei (Gold) for pillowy dumplings, Asian-style beef tartar, and other inventive plates like shao bing—crunchy sesame flatbread stuffed with braised pork and crisp Asian pear. Silver to Gastown’s L’Abattoir for “composed, ambitious cooking.

Michael Mameli and Julio Gonzalez-Perini rebooted Lupo (Bronze) to luminous effect.

What a deliciously sexy dish!” Honourable Mentions to Andrey Durbach’s latest neighbourhood room (Cafeteria) and the gorgeous Oru at the Fairmont Pacific Rim.
