趴地熊

Not sure I agree with C being on the list...I found their food just okay in the 3-4 times that I've been there. I went to West around 5+ years ago and had a mind-blowingly good sablefish but I've heard that their stuff has since gone downhill so I haven't been back (also due to lack of budget on my part ...LOL). Pear Tree has an amazing lobster/spotted prawn cappuccino. On my first visit, L'Abattoir was good but not great, but I plan on heading back to give it another whirl. Chambar has the best Mussels Congolaise!

Looking forward to try: Cafe Regalade (both of their restaurants made the list!), Bao Bei, Hawksworth, Ensemble, and Cioppino's.

Vancouver has too many restaurants to try -- I find it hard to be a repeat customer when I could instead use the opportunity to check out a new place
