Fodor's Expert Review La Pentola

This chic dining room at the Opus, Yaletown's most stylish hotel, serves innovative interpretations of Italian classics. The pastas are homemade, the fish is freshly grilled, and dishes like Gorgonzola risotto or the 16-ounce veal chop would do any nonna proud. The best way to dine here is to choose the family-style chef's tasting menu, a multicourse parade of the kitchen's greatest hits (C$60 per person for five courses). Breakfast is a delicious option, too, particularly the buttermilk pancakes served with candied pecans and seasonal fruits.
