With access to the Pacific Ocean and the bountiful Fraser Valley, the port city of Vancouver takes pride in serving up locally sourced, seasonal fare. Add in creative culinary experiences and chefs from culturally diverse backgrounds, and you have the perfect ingredients for a Canadian food hot spot. Long appreciated by locavores, Vancouver’s thriving food scene is now making a splash globally with its celebrity-chef-driven restaurants (try Vij’s or Hawksworth), Indigenous bistro Salmon n’ Bannock, close to 100 food trucks, the Dine Out Vancouver Festival (the country’s largest annual dining celebration) and activities like the Gastronomic Gastown Tour (currently unavailable, see their website for more details).
