British Columbia has an exciting culinary scene driven by the rich history, multicultural diversity, and bounty of local ingredients and products sourced in this popular Canadian province. The abundance of fresh local seafood, meats, and produce – along with artisan wines and craft beverages – makes BC a top foodie destination, and LuxuryBritishColumbia is pleased to showcase the best food and drink experiences in the region.

Vancouver is a cosmopolitan city that offers the best in international and regional cuisine. One of the best restaurants in Vancouver is the renowned Salmon n’ Bannock Bistro, which offers authentic Indigenous cuisine. Another local favorite is Mr Bannock, an Indigenous food truck known for its award-winning local specialties.

Head to the charming city of Victoria on Vancouver Island, where a variety of historic and cozy Victoria restaurants offer proper afternoon tea experiences. For a special treat fit for royalty, indulge in the afternoon tea service at Victoria’s storied Fairmont Empress Hotel or enjoy a respite at The Dining Room at nearby Butchart Gardens.
