Vancouver is well known as an ocean-fringed metropolis with some of the finest food in the country but finding the best local flavors requires a local connection. Get an accelerated introduction to Vancouver’s food scene, from the redbrick dive bars of Gastown to Vietnamese Bahn mi sandwich joints. There’ll be time to sample a few favorites along the way, like Carolina-style pulled pork sandwiches ideally washed down with a local craft beer, and perhaps chocolate from Canada’s oldest chocolate shop as an added treat. Enjoy the chatty restaurants of Chinatown as you crunch down on delicious crispy duck and learn more about the local cuisine. Let your local host guide you into a traditional medicine shop before you stop for a lunch spread of dim sum delights and freshly-brewed Chinese tea. This multicultural mecca demands one thing: arrive hungry.
