Walnut Wine and Preserves at Vista D'oro

Deep Cove's long-running waterfront bistro, where the patio leans over Burrard Inlet and the Ocean Wise seafood earns every candle.

West Coast seafood and a marina-view patio at the toe of Horseshoe Bay, two minutes from the ferry ramp.

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

A Top Chef alum runs the griddle at this pastel 1950s room on Pemberton, where the coin-tiled floor was laid by hand and the milkshakes are still spun to order.

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

Coal Harbour, Stanley Park and the North Shore mountains through floor-to-ceiling glass, with a Canadian Culinary Champion kitchen to match.

Doors at 7am, a glass roof over the Fraser, and thirteen kinds of eggs benedict at the only Dutch breakfast room in the region.

Chef Hector Laguna's plant-draped Coal Harbour room, where the world-ranked cocktails alone justify the good shirt.

A 1926 North Shore institution where the Yukon-style bacon arrives in slabs and a century of carved masks watches you eat breakfast.

Reed Point Marina's floating restaurant, with a blanket-stocked patio and BC seafood that lets the sunset do the romancing.

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

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

Michelin-starred Kitsilano fine dining with vintage toys on the shelves, steps from the beach, and zero sense of its own importance.

A thirty-year-old Richmond warehouse hung with classic records and old instruments, serving crab cake bennies and waffles from 8am, seven days.
