Restaurant
Locanda dell’Orso
Locanda dell’Orso is one of the best italian restaurants in Vancouver for date night, especially if you want a strong option in Vancouver.
Locanda dell'Orso arrived in downtown Vancouver near Gastown in 2024 with a deliberately narrow focus: fresh pasta made in house daily, rooted in the traditions of northern and coastal Italian cooking.

Beijing Hot Pot Restaurant
There's a small ceremony to eating here that most Vancouver hot pot rooms skip: the cloisonné copper pots, the charcoal glowing underneath, the sense that dinner is an event rather than a transaction.
