21 Best Restaurants in Vancouver
"Several industry aces joined forces to open this restaurant in 2022, and it’s already seen its fair share of accolades since (e.g. Vancouver Magazine’s Best New Restaurant and MICHELIN Guide Recommended). Peru’s strong, global influences mean that in dining here, you’ll get a taste of several cuisines, including Chinese, Japanese, Italian, and Spanish. Discover them in plates like the Hamachi Tiraditos (with avocado mousse and leche de tigre) or the Arroz Con Pato (with duck breast, cilantro beer rice, and pickled shallots). But you can also credit the buzz to the impressive cocktail program and modern Peruvian fare from chef-owner Ricardo Valverde, who has become known for his flavorful, updated takes on dishes from his homeland of Peru. A wine list features Latin American selections, along with options from local Okanagan Valley, Napa Valley, and Chile. Just like the food, the cocktails are inspired by the regions and ingredients of Peru—and each one tells a story (an approach that helped Bar Manager Max Curzon-Price earn MICHELIN’s 2023 Exceptional Cocktail Award). Opt for the “Threads” or “Ritual,” and feel good about your order—$3 from sales is donated to a local women’s shelter." - Guy Saddy, Nicole Schnitzler
