Top, Best & Fun Rooftop Bars in Downtown Vancouver

"If you’re looking for a special, slightly higher-end dining experience, Acorn is it. Serving the best in fine vegetarian and vegan dining, you’ll be treated to craft cocktails, excellent service, and delicious seasonally inspired dishes. Everything is beautifully presented and you’ll want to try it all (but definitely try the mushroom appetizer)."

"Since the menu changes often here, we can’t say for sure for sure that they’re guaranteed to have vegan options while you’re there. But, we’re saying that there’s like a 95% chance of it happening. If you do luck out, you get dessert at one of the best vegan restaurants in the world!"

"Voted one of the best vegetarian- and vegan-friendly restaurants in the world, Acorn is an icon on Main Street and its brunch does not disappoint."

"After a stint at the Savoy in London, cooking for Mick Jagger, Prince, and a host of other glitzy celebs, Belgian chef Nico Schuermans has created the archetypal casual fine dining restaurant in Vancouver. Chambar offers an elegant room, faultless service, and a no-nonsense menu of French-/Belgian-influenced classics made with Pacific Northwest ingredients, which you’d be more than welcome to enjoy coming straight from yoga class still in your Lululemons."

"While part of dining at establishments like Chambar might be for the experience, with heat-and-serve dinners, you can now bring Chambar favourites to the comfort of home. Most of their packages serve two, like the risotto kit (from $16.50) and the Moroccan meatballs with chickpeas ($19). Or, if you're plant-based, the vegan tamarind and coconut curry ($14)."

"Chambar's one of the few restaurants that's open first thing and closes late in the evening. This bodes well for hungry diners in search of a delicious meal, any time of day. Whether you're here for breakfast, brunch, lunch or dinner, the Belgian-North African cuisine brings beautiful dishes to the table."

"The Opus blends hip design, pops of vivid colour and tongue-in-cheek art with excellent customer service, tech-luxe gizmos and a terrific in-house Italian restaurant. Boldly bohemian but comfortably luxurious, this hotel may be cool, but its welcome is warm."

"Electric Bicycle is another new brewery that managed to come out with a distinct vibe and have been experimenting with oddball beer styles. They also benefit from being quite close to R&B, so drinkers can easily navigate between the two."

"Owned and operated by husband & wife team, David (Brewer) and Nicole (Operations), Powell Brewery opened as a nano (smaller than a micro) brewery in 2012 and the team quickly took home a 2013 Canadian “Beer of the Year” from the Canadian Brewing Awards for their Old Jalopy Pale Ale. Since then the selection has grown to include inventive flavors such as wheat beer with ginger and cardamom, cascara (coffee cherry) brews and gluten-free ciders. Check out the Tasting Room  at 1357 Powell Street to try the classic Old Jalopy Pale Ale and some of the seasonal sips."

"Owned by a husband-and-wife team, Powell Brewery’s award-winning beer is so popular with locals that they had to move to a bigger premises on Powell Street in 2014. They offer both seasonal and year-round beers, including the Cheeky Session, the Dive Bomb Dark Ale, the Lazy D’Haze IPA, and the Old Jalopy Pale Ale. The latter won Powell Brewery bronze for “Extra Special Bitter” at the World Beer Cup Awards in 2016."

"Powell’s Old Jalopy Pale Ale is still one of the best core beers that Vancouver has. Powell maintains a difficult balance of an established and consistent regular lineup and creative seasonal and experimental offerings."

"A classic good beer and grub joint, Strange Fellows has it all. You’ve probably picked up a pack of SF tall boys, but if you haven’t checked out their East Van tasting room you’re missing out. Besides being as hip as you’d expect anything to be in East Van, SF also hosts the Charles Clark Gallery where you can admire the work of a bunch of rotating local artists."

"Strange Fellows is one of the best examples of a brewery that knows exactly what it wants to be right out of the gates. Strange Fellows has embraced their brand, community and beer style with vigor and as a result, they are one of the best examples of craft beer in the city."

"Mixing art and the art of beer making, makes it a unique addition to the city. Experimental flavours and techniques and names based on folklore definitely makes it uniquely strange. The patio is covered and ready for any weather."

"The large patio at Bridges has the perfect view of False Creek. You can't get any closer to the water than this."

"This North Van spot is best known for their awesome lunch buffet. $12 gets you a selection of AYCE Indian food with unlimited naan bread, listing it as a top contender in both cheap eats, and AYCE prices. Address: 116 15th Street E, North VancouverPhone: 604-986-7555"
