I will be in Vancouver for one night end of January. Since it will be my birthday, I’d like to go somewhere nice. Seafood would be great, but not required. Not too fancy as one of my ski buddies thinks all-you-can-eat buffet of General Tso’s chicken is the height of culinary excellence.
Hey, Paul. We ended up mostly bar hopping on our experience (which prompted my posts above). Outside of crap pub grub, we had a very nice lunch at Pourhouse Restaurant, but it doesn’t lean seafood. I did take Mark’s recommendation and we had a dinner at Dynasty, a Cantonese restaurant downtown that definitely leans heavily seafood. With that said, we were very, very rushed unfortunately and had to order and eat quickly so we could make puck drop at the Canucks game. It looked very authentically Cantonese and it was busy, so that’s usually a good sign.
I’m pretty open to anything. I am assuming Asian food to be a strength there, but I am not overly picky other than not real interested in elaborate tasting menu-type supper. Good food and relaxing vibe is all I need on this trip.
if you can get a reso… my current fav non asian food is Published on Main.
ignore the ‘it’s 1 michelin star’… it’s not… nothing in vancouver is anywhere near a star…
but - it’s very very good. really enjoyable spot… corkage friendly as well.
you don’t need to do the tasting menu tho they offer one. just a few items off their alc menu is good to go.
