Vij’s. 1480 West 11th Avenue. 604-736-6664
Indian fusion cuisine in the South Granville district. NY Times reviewed “Easily among the finest Indian restaurants in the world.” Dinner served from 5:30pm with no reservations, so we recommend you go early to avoid the typical lineups (sometimes 2.5 hours long). A BBVancouver.com favorite. Vikram Vij also runs the Rangoli Cafe next door. 3 minute drive.

Sun Sui Wah. 3888 Main Street. 604-872-8822
Voted Best Chinese & Seafood by Vancouver Magazine Readers Choice and is renowned for its squab and live tanks of fish, Alaskan king crab, Atlantic lobsters and geoduck clams.
