Tasting Menu at AnnaLena

A tiny Railtown chalkboard room doing nose-to-tail, seed-to-fork cooking that changes with whatever's actually good right now.

Vancouver Foodie Tours runs a two hour progressive meal through the market: cheese, charcuterie, candied salmon, chocolate truffles and a honey-dip donut finish.

The Michelin-listed W 4th kitchen that is genuinely relaxed, genuinely BC-farm-driven, and has a fried chicken sandwich with permanent-resident status.

A 1912 heritage room at the foot of Dundarave Pier, gutted so nothing stands between the table and Burrard Inlet.

Run by the actual Fanny Bay farm, this is Vancouver's only tide-to-table oyster bar, and the marble counter is yours.

A 1918 Cloverdale heritage house with five intimate dining rooms and a tableside flambé service that treats dessert as theatrical inevitability.

A Kits diner since 1988, so stuffed with vintage toys and lunchboxes there's barely room for the towering buttermilk pancakes.

South Surrey's tiny, fiercely good open-kitchen bistro: Chef Veen's French technique, BC farm sourcing, and a 4.7 that politely destroys every chain nearby.

Vancouver's first Michelin Young Chef Award winner cooks seasonal BC plates in a warm wood room beside the Pacific Spirit forest.

The Langley sleeper with a 4.8 rating and seats so few that booking one is basically a love letter.

Port Moody's number-one table, where Executive Chef Juraj Dado's seasonal European cooking makes the Tri-Cities feel like a very good idea.

The WAG's covered bay patio is White Rock's best argument for always booking the view table and ordering the cold martinis.

A heritage-building institution on Moncton Street, plating Chef Sushila Narain's West Coast seafood in Richmond's prettiest fishing village.

White Rock's top-ranked Marine Drive kitchen, where BC spot prawns and a cozy patio make Tuesday feel like a proper anniversary.
