Where to eat, stay and visit in Vancouver
Vancouver splits usefully between downtown museum mornings and Cantonese or Japanese dinners in Coal Harbour and neighbourhood counters. The Banquet map puts cultural mornings at Vancouver Art Gallery, the Chinese Canadian Museum and the Museum of Anthropology at UBC; tables at Mott 32 Vancouver, iDen & QuanJuDe Beijing Duck House, Sun Sui Wah Seafood Restaurant, Masayoshi and Touk. Ride-hailing bridges those hops faster than transit after dark. Reserve Peking duck and omakase ahead, confirm Gallery hours (often closed Tuesdays), and recheck Michelin listings against the current Vancouver guide.
