Aburi Sushi at Miku

Flame-kissed aburi sushi by Burrard Inlet, where the salmon oshi arrives, gets photographed, and makes the table go silent.

The date

This is the move when you want your date to assume you eat like this every Thursday. Miku sits by Canada Place with Burrard Inlet framed in the windows. Its aburi sushi gets a kiss of flame, and the salmon oshi, pressed, torched and draped in a faintly sweet sauce, is the piece that stops the table mid-sentence. Order the chef's selection and don't fight over the last piece.

How to do it

Ask for a window table or the patio if the sun's cooperating, then make the Aburi salmon oshi your first order, pressed, torched, faintly sweet, and the reason you came. Hand the rest of the meal to the chef's selection and budget about an hour and three-quarters so you can actually watch the light move across Burrard Inlet. The seawall and Canada Place are right outside when you stand up, so plan to walk it off slowly.
