G R E A T E A T S 20 WORLDLY TASTES Vancouver is world-famous for having some of the most diverse and authentic culinary choices in Canada. Whether you have a hankering for spicy Cajun jambalaya, crispy Greek calamari or comforting Vietnamese pho, you can satisfy your hunger here. Japanese food is ubiquitous, from hole-in-the-wall sushi joints to upscale Japanese barbecues. And with one of the largest Chinatown districts in North America, it's no wonder that dim sum is another staple of Vancouver dining. Vancouver's location also puts it in prime position to reap the fruits of the sea, and you haven't truly sampled West Coast cuisine until you've treated your taste buds to mussels, oysters, cedar-plank salmon, Dungeness crab or any other West Coast specialty. LOCAL INGREDIENTS Locally grown ingredients take centre stage in Vancouver restaurants, and rightfully so – from sun-kissed summer fruits to winter harvest root vegetables, the fertile fields around Vancouver provide sumptuously delicious produce.
