Photos: Party Pics from the 2025 Restaurant Awards

The culinary stars came out to play at the 36th annual Vancouver Magazine Restaurant Awards.

Presumably, you raced home from our big awards event at the Fairmont Hotel Vancouver on Monday and have just been poring over the Vancouver Magazine Restaurant Award winners list since. But now that you’ve made all your reservations for the coming month, you’re probably ready to look back and reminisce about what a fun day of celebration awards day really was. We’ve got all the photos (thanks to Vision Photography!) ready for you. Dig through and feel free to get misty as you remember all over again what an incredible community of chefs, restaurateurs, bartenders, somms, front-of-house-stars and voracious eaters we have here in Vancouver.
