The Best Restaurants in Vancouver, Canada
The StarTripper Journal presents the best places to dine in Vancouver,
both International gourmet and good Canadian choices.
Our two ladies in Vancouver are professional travellers.
Vancouver, the seaport of British Columbia, the third-largest film production centre in North America (nickname Hollywood North), among the top-ten of the world's most liveable cities, a vibrant nightlife scene, whether it be food and dining, or bars and nightclubs.
Shopping – Vancouver doesn’t disappoint! As a cosmopolitan metropolis, shopping here runs from international designers and popular brands in shop-‘til-you-drop malls, through to local designers and one-of-a-kind craft studios in unique neighbourhoods. You’ll find everything you’re looking for, as well as plenty of things you didn’t even know that you needed!
Vancouver’s nightlife scene is so exciting as you want it to be, an Irish bar for a few post-dinner pints, a chic lounge for a bespoke cocktail, or cutting up the dancefloor at a nightclub? The city’s live music scene offers everything from alt-country, to old-fashioned rock ‘n roll or experimental jazz. And if you are feeling lucky - check the gaming tables at one of the casinos for a late-night adventure.
Vancouver culinary scene is exquisite. You will find the best tower of fresh seafood, the finest house-made charcuterie, the most delicious taco truck, and the best list of B.C. wines.
Currency is Canadian dollar ($) (CAD).

Au Comptoir is an excellent Parisian bistro, located in the friendly Kitsilano neighborhood. The French
expatriates Maxime Bettili and Julien Aubin have created a beloved “at the counter”-restaurant – a very
popular style of dining in Paris, and one that nurtures a fun, communal and convivial atmosphere for
guests.This is the right place to savouring a glass of wine with someone special or sharing a laugh with friends over dinner and drinks – just like the quaint and cozy atmosphere found in the beloved cafés scattered throughout the arrondissements of Paris.
We highly recommend the Saumon á L’Unilatérale with fennel tagliatelle and gem lettuce, and the Faisan Et Sa Farce with chestnut farce and caramelized parsnip purée.
No reservations. Au Comptoir welcome guests on a first-come, first-served basis. Merci beaucoup!
