The date

Vij's signals you did your homework without making a thing of it. Vikram Vij has redefined Indian fine dining here since the '90s and still works the room himself, checking you're dazzled by the wine-marinated lamb popsicles in fenugreek cream, served on a charmingly short stick. West Coast ingredients meet deep Indian spicing, with a patio upstairs when summer cooperates. Go hungry, share everything.

How to do it

Go hungry and order broadly, the wine-marinated lamb 'popsicles' in fenugreek cream are the famous opener, and Vikram Vij himself often works the room to check you're swooning. Share everything across the warm, buzzy Cambie Street dining room (or the upstairs patio if summer's cooperating) and budget close to two hours for the full layered spread. It's the date that makes you look like you actually know the city; lean into it.
