The Top Five Scenic Places to Eat in Vancouver
As most people know, a synonym is a word that has the same or nearly the same meaning as another word. Although it may not be recognized as such in any dictionary, the words “Vancouver” and “scenic” are virtually synonymous. That’s because when it comes to scenery, there aren’t many places on this earth that have more of it than Vancouver. From the Pacific Ocean to the numerous lakes and stunning mountain vistas, any tour of Vancouver will literally take your breath away.
And when it comes to scenic places at which to enjoy a fine meal, Vancouver offers endless options. Here is a quick glimpse at five that top the list.
First, there is Monk McQueens Fresh Seafood and Oyster Bar, which offers perhaps the most stunning view, as it provides a fantastic look at the coastal mountains and a glimpse of nearby Yaletown. It offers casual dining with a specialty of seafood and reservations are not required.
If the ocean is more your style, then you don’t want to come to Vancouver without dining at Watermark at Kits Beach. Located at Kitsilano beach, for over a century this fine establishment has been offering diners a fabulous beachfront experience, whether you prefer to dine indoors or out. Also offering casual dining, the Watermark specializes in contemporary and traditional seafood .
If you enjoy making new friends in high places, you don’t want to miss Seasons in the Park, which sits atop Queen Elizabeth Park, overlooking the beautiful quarry gardens at the highest elevation in the city. While you’ll love taking in the panoramic view of the Vancouver skyline, you will love the dining experience even more. Another wonderful seafood restaurant, the “casual elegant” style will make for a memorable occasion.
If you like the excitement and buzz of downtown Vancouver, then your choice should be the Aqua River Restaurant. A fine dining establishment, the Aqua Rivers the best in both Northwest and seafood cuisine. The harbor front view of Burrard inlet will captivate you, and the business casual style is perfect for impressing that important client.
Finally, if green is your scene, then you will want to be sure and visit the Sequoia Grill at the Teahouse. Set at the ocean amongst tall evergreens, you will be enchanted by the sunset views of Georgia Strait, and you won’t be able to say no to anything on the Northwest and seafood menu.
