新的Parq Vancouverurban resort isn't just the latest and greatest cluster of shining towers to gracethe Canadian city's now-iconic (and still growing) skyline; it's also instantly made a giant splash on the dining scene, with four restaurants and three lounges now open, with one more to come in December.

At the helm, you'll find Chef Kim Canteenwalla and his partner Elizabeth Blau. Together, the power couple has been responsible for some of the most talked-about off-Strip, local dining experiences inLas Vegasin recent years—now they're tackling one of the most visible new development projects in all ofCanada;该综合体包括两个豪华型酒店,高端游戏设施,一个30,000平方英尺的公园,土着树种植六层楼,目的地水疗中心和食品和饮料操作足够大,超过600人被雇用了超过600人亚搏电竞仅在该部门工作。

For Canteenwalla, it's a homecoming of sorts—he's Canadian, after all. But growing up inMontreal, way at the other side of the country, didn't quite prepare him forVancouver, as distant and different a city as you could find and still be in the same country. As he began designing the project, hiring staff and gearing up to open, he's spent a great deal of time getting out to explore and understand the city, getting to know its sources, its secrets, its food.

“温哥华是一个拥有如有许多不同美食,传统和社区的伟大城市。这是一个无穷无尽的灵感来源,”Canteenwalla说。

"I love being able to go from looking at the fresh fish at the market in the morning, to having a great local, seasonal Western style lunch, and being able to have amazing Indian or Chinese for dinner, without being in a car or cab for more than a few minutes," he enthuses.

And his favorites? In his own words, here's Canteenwalla's guide to his adopted city.

A must-stop for anyone visiting Vancouver is格兰维尔岛and the public market. It’s been an institution in the city for almost 40 years, but I still feel like I always find something new. It’s a great way to get a sense of all that British Columbia has to offer. You can’t go wrong wandering through the stalls, but some of my go-to’s are Tenderland Meats, Terra Bakery, Oyama Sausage Co., and Benton Brother’s Cheese. We love to load up at the market for a picnic or a BBQ in Stanley Park.

There are a ton of great Asian restaurants in the city, I’ve got a few on my list, butVij’s是一个机构。我喜欢印度食物 - 这些都是亚搏电竞我在多年来一直到达许多真正的印度餐馆的风格,而Vikram Vij在温哥华创造了一些特别的东西。有机会必须等待,也值得每分钟,即使在雨中也是如此!他更休闲的景点,Vij的Rangoli和Vij的铁路值得退房,但原来的位置总是我最终的地方。

If you’re in Vancouver, it’s worth getting out of the city and exploring the province. The BC wilderness and outdoors are world famous, but one of my favorite destinations is Kelowna and the wineries of the Okanagan.Mission Hillis a favorite, and dinner at the Terrace is worth the price of admission. They use almost exclusively BC product, much of which comes from the property or the farms surrounding it.

Vancouver’s food scene is full of young ambitious chefs running their own small spots with a lot of personality and passion. One of my favorites isBao Bei,厨师乔·瓦坦拜亚和图兰凌的时髦中国啤酒箱。他们正在进行大量启发和创新的经典风味组合,以及提供特殊的鸡尾酒。他们的新现象Kissa Tontomashes up Japanese and Italian and is worth checking out too.
