We asked Vancouverites where they'd take their friends to eat in the city

Oct 12 2024, 4:00 pm

Picture this: your friend is visiting out of town and wants you to tour them around the city. You take them to all the stereotypical places: the Gastown Steam Clock, the seawall, and the Granville Island Market. But after all that exploring, you’re both hungry. Where do you go?

That’s what we wanted to know. So we posted on our Instagram and asked our followers, “If you only had one day to treat your friends to all the best eats in the city, where would you take them?” After perusing the comments, we compiled some of the most common answers to get the ultimate list of recommended spots.
