St. Lawrence Restaurant
St. Lawrence Restaurant is one of the best french restaurants in Vancouver for date night, especially if you want a strong option in Vancouver.
J.C. Poirier's Gastown restaurant has accumulated the kind of sustained critical attention that, in Canada, carries particular weight — regional cooking has a long history of losing its character in transit, and St. Lawrence is widely regarded as evidence that Québécois French cuisine can arrive in Vancouver not just intact but sharpened. The acclaim here is not incidental to what the kitchen is doing; it appears to be a direct consequence of it.

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.
