Whether you’re after a casual drink and bite, a six-course tasting menu with wine pairings, a cocktail that lights up and emits smoke, or even a toy with your meal, there’s a hotel restaurant to match. Here is a partial list.

• Five Sails at Fairmont Pan Pacific (999 Canada Place, glowbalgroup.com): The latest creation from executive chef Alex Kim, winner of the 2025 Canadian Culinary Championship, is The Altitude. The spring tasting menu features locally caught seafood, Fraser Valley chicken, beef cheeks and spring lamb. If The Altitude is not your bag, separate table d’hôte offerings are similarly local in focus and meticulously composed. Views across Burrard Inlet to the North Shore Mountains enhance the restaurant’s quietly elegant atmosphere.

• The Victor at Parq (39 Smithe St., parqcasino.com): Located next to B.C. Place, Parq Casino is well positioned to welcome visitors in town for a game or major concert. The Victor, on the sixth floor, puts a contemporary spin on the classic surf-and-turf concept, with premium cuts, fresh seafood, and a sushi and raw bar. A Surf & Turf Showcase ($75 per person) offers three courses with optional Veuve Clicquot pairings. For the young at heart, the “after-office adult happy hour meal” (daily from 5 to 7 p.m.) includes a toy alongside a wagyu beef burger and a “tiny tini.” Parq’s other two dining destinations, Honey Salt and D/6 Lounge, will also offer special menus timed to major events.

• Hawksworth at Rosewood Hotel Georgia (801 W. Georgia St., hawksworthrestaurant.com): Since opening on the ground floor of the Rosewood Hotel Georgia in 2011, this centrally located downtown destination has built a following for its burgers, happy hour and the creations from chef David Hawksworth. It also offers a Sunday roast dinner and a three-course weekday lunch for $36. As part of its 15th-anniversary celebrations, the restaurant is featuring a $68 First Seating menu Monday through Saturday from 4 to 6 p.m. For the upcoming major sporting event whose name need not be mentioned, the beverage teams at Hawksworth and its sister restaurant, Nightingale, have collaborated on a collection of eight original cocktails inspired by the flavours, ingredients and traditions of countries competing in Vancouver this June. Canada’s entry is the Maple & Spruce Sour, made with Lot 40 rye, North Vancouver-made Woods Amaro Classico, lemon, maple and bitters.

Botanist at Fairmont Pacific Rim (1038 Canada Place, botanistrestaurant.com): Named one of Canada’s 100 Best and included on the World’s 50 Best Discovery list, Botanist is a restaurant, cocktail bar and — if we’re being thorough — a library. The Taschen Library nook is stocked with oversized art books, while the restaurant is now led by executive chef Amanda Healey, whose two decades of experience includes a stint at Australia’s acclaimed Oncore by Clare Smyth. A six-course tasting menu is currently on offer, alongside The City Set, a two-course lunch for $49. Adventurous drinkers, meanwhile, shouldn’t leave without sampling at least one of the bar’s mad-scientist cocktails.
