18 B.C. restaurants land on Canada’s 100 Best Restaurants list
Eighteen B.C. eateries have landed on the list of Canada’s 100 Best Restaurants & Bars.
Published, St. Lawrence, AnnaLena, Kissa Tanto, Hawksworth, L’Abattoir, Boulevard, Mott 32, Oca Pastificio, Masayoshi, Cioppino’s, Tojo, Maenam, Burdoch and Co., and La Quercia made the list of top eateries in Vancouver.
Beyond the city limits, only three restaurants notched a spot on the coveted hot-100 list: Wild Blue and Bearfoot Bistro in Whistler, and Pluvio in Ucluelet.
The latest edition saw the province’s food and beverage scene lose a few footholds on the list. Last year’s ranking included 21 B.C. eateries while this year’s count comes in at 18.
Published on Main, the restaurant that took the top spot on last year’s list, came it at No. 3 for 2023. It’s a ranking that will likely still please Executive Chef Gus Stieffenhofer-Brandson, who says a place on the 100 Best list can be a “game changer” for a local establishment.
