The Chef's Guide to Vancouver

Vancouver has a pretty great reputation. Often voted as the world’s most livable city, the picturesque landscape, friendly locals and inescapable melting pot of cultures come together nicely for tourists and locals to enjoy the best of the Canadian West Coast.

Despite some political issues surrounding gentrification, uber healthy locals flaunting their super fit bodies as they run around Stanley Park and Vancouverites still basking in their Olympic Glory in 2010, Vancouver has its charms to suit any traveler. Whether you are interested in the outdoors, the thriving art scene or simply want to eat some of the best seafood in North America, Vancouver is a great destination.

But of course, when it comes to travel, food reigns supreme and so this is where you should go the next time you’re in The Big Smoke, as guided by the best foodies of the region – local chefs.
