Vij's

The 38 Best Restaurants in Vancouver, Canada | Eater

"Chef Vikram Vij is a huge star, with a stint as an investor on Dragon’s Den, the reality show for aspiring entrepreneurs, and a national range of prepackaged gourmet frozen curries to his name. Vij has created a fine dining Indian restaurant where you can feast on ambrosial curries utilizing local ingredients and hand-ground spices, paired with B.C. wines and funky cocktails. Pre-pandemic, the queue for a table might have included luminaries such as ex-Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau or Harrison Ford, but now you can make a reservation and skip the wait. Don’t miss the lamb popsicles. Know before you go: Don’t snooze on the cocktail menu. It’s packed with savory drinks to pair with curry." - Nikki Bayley
