The Raincity Grill is the quintessential Vancouver dining experience. Situated overlooking the steel-blue waters of English Bay, this “West End” landmark has defined regional cuisine for the past 14 years.
A lot of restaurants can claim they use local produce, seafood and meats, but Raincity Grill marches further: we tell you the name of the farm. A few examples? Raincity Grill is proud to serve you vegetables from North Arm Farm in Pemberton (98 miles away), pork from Sloping Hills in Qualicum Beach (80 miles away), chicken from Rossdown Farms in Abbotsford (50 miles away), Salt Spring Island... more
Taste the locavore difference at Raincity Grill, the restaurant link to the best ingredients in the world: Vancouver’s own backyard. Located in the West End, on shimmering English Bay.
The room's become a bit dowdy, which puts it in sharp contrast to the fresh, imaginative dishes that come dependably from Nicolas Hipperson's kitchen. Local ingredients never had it so good: beetroot salad ($12), pork belly with oven roasted figs ($14), and grilled caesar salad ($12) are bang-on appetizers, and dishes like the braised Cache Creek lamb ($29) keep pace. Clams, salmon, and halibut... more
Patrons "get the best of what BC has to offer" at this "farm-to-table" West End "oasis" that "always delivers" with "well-prepared" Pacific NW "delights" backed by a wine list "filled with some treasures"; the "understated" dining room offers views of English Bay, and service is "strong", so though it "substantially lightens" wallets, it's still a "terrific way to experience" "local food and... more
This top-starred restaurant is a gem -- painstaking in preparation, arty in presentation, and yet completely unfussy in atmosphere. Raincity Grill was one of the very first restaurants in Vancouver to embrace the "buy locally, eat seasonally" concept. The menu focuses on seafood, game, poultry, and organic vegetables from British Columbia and the Pacific Northwest. The room is long, low, and... more
While my wife and I eat here every couple of years for special occasions during a recent visit had the most amazing experience! We always love the ambience, the well prepared and fresh entries, the excellent location on Denman overlooking English Bay, and super prices (especially for the quality of food offered). Would stood out on this trip (and it... more
I brought some friends here to catch the view of the sunset while we chilled. The view wasn't as great as I might have hoped for, but the service more than made up for it. Amy managed to put up with our group of Luddites while maintaining composure and class, and while remaining extremely accommodating. Thanks!!!!
We liked the food, the servers, the location, the wine list, and the Vancouver ambiance of the West End...hip, happening, but in a low key and great food kind of vibe. We tried many things on the menu and it is a great dining experience.
Raincity Grill has been illustrating the farm-to-table ideology since its inception in 1992. The organic menu gets its ingredients from within a 100 mile radius of the establishment and the freshness of the produce is evident in every bite. It celebrates the passion of local producers with a wine list of Pacific Northwest varieties including hard-to-find regional estate wines. One of the West... more
A sophisticated yet casual West End restaurant with amazing views of English Bay and Stanley Park. The Pacific Northwest tastes extend to both the menu and the wine list. The creative cuisine takes advantage of fresh local ingredients and features organic vegetables, artisanal cheeses and salmon fished specifically for the restaurant. Opportunities to taste a variety of eclectic items are... more
