"A signature space within the Fairmont Pacific Rim, this MICHELIN Recommended spot was the first Vancouver restaurant to have a 100% Ocean Wise certified sushi program, indicating traceable, sustainably sourced seafood, and offers a sizable selection of Japanese rolls, salads, nigiri, sashimi and bento boxes. By day, it’s an ideal place to settle into the sun-soaked lounge and take in the harbor views, while at night diners can enjoy creative Japanese-inspired cocktails and an expanded menu that includes seasonal specials like beef tataki (thinly sliced seared beef) and truffled tuna carpaccio, all accompanied by nightly live music showcasing emerging artists and special guests." - Ty Gaskins
"Inside one of the city's top hotels, this expansive, always-buzzing hangout makes a big impression with a two-sided fireplace, nightly live music by the stage, and a marble bar, and it backs up the looks with food, from a variety of sushi—especially the signature salmon motoyaki roll with chopped wild sockeye, steelhead trout, avocado, cucumber, and warm motoyaki sauce—to comforting miso soup or simply braised local octopus." - Kevin Chau
"In one of the city's top hotels (Fairmont Pacific Rim), find one of its hottest hangouts, The Lobby Lounge and RawBar. It makes a big impression, and not just because of its expansive space. Snuggle up by the two-sided fireplace, nab a seat by the stage, where nightly live music is performed, or pull up a chair at the marble bar—it's all on offer.The best part? It's not just about good looks and sensational sips. Snack on a variety of sushi, including salmon motoyaki, a signature roll with chopped wild sockeye, steelhead trout, avocado, cucumber and warm motoyaki sauce. Miso soup is a good bet for a cold night, and braised local octopus is a simple delight. Local salmon and steelhead figure largely on the menu." - Michelin Inspector
"This six-seat omakase bar in the Fairmont Pacific Rim hotel is one of the most exclusive sushi experiences you can find in Vancouver. For $105 CAD at lunch or $135 CAD (with a sake pairing included) at dinner, you’ll get bite after bite straight from the sushi chef while James Bond movies play silently on the TV behind the counter. Baby sea bream, hokkaido uni, and wild sockeye salmon sashimi with dashi gelée are just a few things we’ve enjoyed on past visits. One big plus of RawBar’s location inside the hotel’s Lobby Lounge: you’re already in the perfect place for a nightcap (and maybe even some french fries) before heading home." - carolyn b heller, amber gibson
