Café and Bar: This stunning restaurant is located at the intersection of Homer and Smithe, and as soon as you step in, you feel like you’ve been transported to another place and time. Their cuisine is tasty, modern and progressive, and they always focus on fresh flavors and local ingredients. Maenam: I love all of the dishes at Maenam. The jambon de bayonne and duck prosciutto are also some of my family’s favorites. I would estimate we spend at least $60 a week on their saucisson sec for my daughter. Oyama Sausage Co.: Oyama, located in the Granville Island Public Market, has long held a reputation for producing the finest quality charcuterie from quality ingredients and ethically raised meats. We’ve been going for 15 years, and our kids love the chawanmushi (an egg custard dish). Seto Japanese Restaurant: Although not in Vancouver, Seto Japanese Restaurant in Richmond is a family-owned, traditional Japanese restaurant with consistently good food that’s done well every single time.
