Restaurant suggestions.....
We will be in Vancouver from July 2nd to July 7th staying at the Westin Grand. I'm looking for suggestions from locals or past visitors on some great places to eat.
1) Chinese (region/style does not matter)
2) Indian
3) Seafood
4) Italian
Also, a restaurant suggestion in Victoria would be nice as we are going over for a day.
Price is not a concern
Thanks in advance!

For Victoria I can recommend the following. If I haven't eaten ther I know someone who has and all the restaurants come highly recommended. Chinese: Szechuan Restaurant - 853 Caledonia St., Mings Restaurant - 1321 Quadra St. Indian: Da Tandoor Restaurant - 1010 Fort St., Taj Mahal - 679 Herald St. Seafood: Chandlers - 1250 Wharf St.,Nautical Nellies - 1001 Wharf St. Italian: Il Terrazzo - 555 Johnson St., Villa Rosa - 1015 Fort St. All are within walking distance of downtown Victoria, some walks longer than others, but you won't be disappointed. Enjoy!!

sorry-something is screwy with this site today..and it posted before I finished. Italian
iccolo Mondo. We are also thinking about the Rain CIty Grill.
In Victoria while I cannot suggest a good place to eat..I wil suggest you absolutely take in the Royal Museum and especially The First Peoples exhibit. This exhibit includes a long house and many artifacts of the various cultures. It is a great introduction to Pacific NW Native People. You can also check out the Antropology Museum at University of British Columbia in Vancouver for some the same.

hi miz. Best Italian would be Il Giardino. Its like you're sitting in an Italian garden, and the food is to die for. Cin Cin on Robson is amazing food, go there for celebrity watching, quite a well known place. The other best Italian is called Bravo Cucina in North Vancouver. Excellent and affordable, and you can walk down to Lonsdale Quay afterwards and walk on the seawall. Seafood is everywhere...I recommend Monk Mcqueens, right on the water. Sit on the deck if its nice out. Upstairs is more formal, downstairs is an oyster bar and fun. Have eaten there a lot and its great. Upstairs is beautiful. They have a piano player serenade you whilst sitting outside on the heated patio and gazing at the gorgeous ocean.
Best Chinese is a little hole in the wall on Denman St. (just before Davie) upstairs. Can't remember the name. There are a few tables in there, but the food is unbelievable. You could get takeout and walk to the beach which is about 15 feet away.
enjoy

Also check out http://www.chowhound.com/canada/boar...da/canada.html That is where I found out that Joe Fortes is coasting on his PAST reputation. No one really likes it there anymore. There is a thread near the top called "Places You Wanted to Love but...."

amygirl (or anybody else), we're in Victoria for two nights (June 13-14) staying at the Magnolia, taking relatives to tea at the Empress (unless I hear another suggestion) and looking for a grandslam place for dinner on the 14th (we intend to go light on the 13th after the tea). Any suggestions for the 14th? 60th birthday and all that. We'll have done big Italian and seafood in Vancouver, so anything else? Any comments on the Magnolia? And in Vancouver, we're scheduled to stay at the Terminal City Tower Hotel. Any comments there? Many thanks.
