Vancouver Restaurant for Special Occasion
 

I will be celebrating my 70th birthday in Vancouver with my husband and my two sons (both in their 30s) and their girlfriends. I have never been to Vancouver before and I'm excited. I'm looking for restaurant recommendations for the actual birthday dinner. I'm open to different types of cuisine--just looking for great food, great atmosphere and perhaps a spectacular view. Pricey is okay.

So many wonderful restaurants to choose from! Here's one thought, for a view that looks across to Vancouver and Stanley Park from high on a hill in West Vancouver: Salmon House on the Hill. https://www.salmonhouse.com/

Thanks for your reply. That looks lovely. I'm sure there are a multitude of wonderful restaurants--sometimes it's hard to sort through them online, so it's nice to get a response from someone familiar with the area.

Consider Seasons in the Park at Queen Elizabeth Park.

For seafood, The Sandbar at Granville Island is lovely.

The better restaurants in the city generally don’t have views, but the two above are classic special occasion view restaurants.

I hope this helps,
Teahouse in Stanley Park, Have an excellent view and serves west coast dishes.
Blue Water Cafe is, Lovely place if you like seafood.
Hawksworth Restaurant, located in downtown Vancouver.
Happy 70th birthday.
