Restaurant in Vancouver

[woodworker&knitter]

We have 2 days in Vancouver prior to our cruise and was wondering if anyone has ever eaten at the Raincity Grill? We saw it on the 100 Mile challenge on the Food Network yesterday?

Been a few years since I have eaten there but know it to be a very good restaurant. Drove by it 10 days ago but that hardly consitutes a review.;)

Quite popular, but a little on the pricy side.

Thank you Putterdude and scottbee, I think I'll stick with my first choice of Tojo's or Joe Fortes

You cant go wrong with Tojos or Joe Fortes, what about Umberto's?

Raincity Grill is very nice - you could always just have lunch there. If you can get an outdoor table it's a great place to people watch and a beautiful view. Food is very, very good.

 

Joe Fortes would be a great place for dinner... and if you love sushi then Tojo's is definitely the place to go.

 

One more suggestion - Vij's for the most amazing Indian meal you may ever have.

No exaggeration there. But don't bother calling to make a reservation, as they don't take them. Just show up and stand in line with the rest of us. Trust me, it's worth the wait.

Definitely worth the wait. Vij's opens at 6, and people start lining up at 5

Thank you for all your help. I've eaten at Umberto's on a previous visit to Van.. I do like to try different restaurants. I always wanted to eat at Lumiere, but since Rob Feenie is no longer there, I will try something else. My daughter , 16yr old grandaughter and I love sushi and Indian food, so I think we will be quite happy with all your suggestions. Thanks again

One thing, too, if you watched the 100 Mile Challenge, Virkram Vij the owner, was on it. It was the episode when he demonstrated making parathas with crickets.
