Voted No. 1 for Decor in Vancouver, this sleek, "elegant" dining room in Downtown's Pan Pacific Hotel boasts banks of windows offering "sensational views" of the "waterfront and mountains" as backdrop for chef-owner Ernst Dorfler's Pacific NW–French cuisine that's "still impressing" after a quarter century; "respectful" service adds to the "romantic" charm, but it's perhaps best saved for a... more

Fabulous
August 10, 2014

The best panoramic view of Vancouver which the food surpasses !
I have never wanted to go back to a restaurant to just have their green salad but this one is the most amazing compilation of tender greens I have ever eaten. Every mouthful was a burst of new flavours.
The main course was as intoxicating to the eye as it was the palette.
Polite and accommodating staff.

superb view and dinner
August 08, 2014

The view was spectacular and the food was superb. Highlights were the spinach-mushroom ricotta ravioli, the best ever, and the green salad with berries and fruit crisps, every so fresh with sprouted greens. Enjoyed the sauteed sole and the lobster-halibut-scallop entrees very much too. Sauces are lovely.

What a great dining experience. The food was outstanding. My husband had the beef and I had lamb. They were perfectly cooked and delicious. The grand marnier souffle was scrumptious. With the glorious view on a beautiful suuny day in Vancouver it would be hard to top this dining experience!

We had the 5 course tasting menu and the foods were well presented and delicious! Service was very attentive until a big group sat beside us which made the service to us slow, good thing we were already at our 4th course.

July 07, 2014

Even though I live in Coal Harbour, I was completely unaware of Five Sails. Being in the Pan Pacific, it has no walk-by presence. The way I found it was by Googling 'Best Vancouver Restaurants' and it was rated quite highly, I think #1. When I asked a few long time Vancouver residents about it, their response was, 'I was there a few years ago. It was fine'. So I had a bit of trepidation when I... more

Salmon was prepared sous vide method and overcooked, and the albumin was very visible. The finishing was sauce rather than broiled or seared. We have loved this restaurant in the past, but unfortunately will not return.

The server ridiculed me when I ordered Jasmine Tea after the dinner. He said the restaurant only serves "normal tea." Well, pray tell, what is "normal tea" to his standards?
