Published on Main tops Canada's 100 Best Restaurants list for 2022

Canada’s 100 Best Restaurants just unveiled its comprehensive list of the 100 best spots to dine across the country, and Vancouver-based eateries account for nearly 20% of the winners.

In addition to having a whopping 18 dining establishments make the ranking overall, one local spot snagged the top spot on the prestigious list: Published on Main.

For the very first time on this list, a Vancouver restaurant has been ranked number one in the country.

Located at 3593 Main Street in Vancouver, the globally inspired menu is brought to us by Executive Chef Gus Stieffenhofer-Brandson​.

The cuisine from this spot has been wowing patrons since it opened back in winter 2019. Published is known for offering a selection of contemporary grub with a focus on using local and sustainable ingredients.

It also has a stellar bar program.
