How this list is chosen: Restaurants holding Michelin stars, listed alphabetically. Updated October 8, 2026.
AnnaLena
1 Michelin star · Deep wine list
A Michelin-starred tasting menu restaurant in Kitsilano, AnnaLena holds a position among Vancouver's most consistently recognized contemporary kitchens, with appearances on La Liste (78pts, 2026) and Opinionated About Dining's North America list. Chef Mike Robbins runs a continually evolving menu rooted in seasonal precision, while wine director Reverie Beall curates small-producer bottles that match the kitchen's register without overwhelming it.
Barbara
1 Michelin star
Barbara holds a Michelin star and consecutive Opinionated About Dining rankings, placing it among Vancouver's most closely watched contemporary restaurants. Set on East Pender Street, the L-shaped counter format puts guests directly in front of the kitchen action, where a local-first sourcing approach produces dishes that have drawn sustained critical attention since the restaurant opened. Open Tuesday through Friday evenings only, securing a seat requires planning.
Burdock & Co
1 Michelin star
Twelve years into anchoring Main Street's farm-to-table movement, Burdock & Co operates on a different rhythm from Vancouver's Michelin-starred contemporaries. Bimonthly themed tasting menus follow the harvest rather than a fixed format, and wine director Maisie Ryan's all-natural selections give the list an editorial coherence that most neighbourhood restaurants don't attempt. Ranked 349th in Opinionated About Dining's 2025 North America list, it holds a clear position in the city's upper tier.
iDen & QuanJuDe Beijing Duck House
1 Michelin star
A Michelin-starred outpost of one of Beijing's most historically significant duck houses, iDen & QuanJuDe on Cambie Street brings a 160-year-old roasting tradition to Vancouver's Chinese dining scene. Ranked #344 in North America by Opinionated About Dining in 2024, the kitchen moves well beyond its signature bird, extending to bird's nest, sea cucumber, abalone broth, and king crab. The result is among the more formally ambitious Chinese dining rooms in the city.
Kissa Tanto
1 Michelin star
On the second floor of a Chinatown loft on East Pender Street, Kissa Tanto holds a Michelin star for its itameshi menu, a Japanese-Italian fusion rooted in Pacific Northwest sourcing. The room channels the jazz cafes of 1960s Tokyo, dim and artwork-lined, while the kitchen pairs Dungeness crab with Calabrian chili butter and hand-cut pasta with miso-cured egg yolk. La Liste placed it among the world's top restaurants in 2026 with 76 points.
Masayoshi
1 Michelin star
A Michelin-starred omakase counter on Fraser Street, Masayoshi applies Edomae technique to British Columbia's seasonal seafood in a jewel-box format that earned a place on Opinionated About Dining's 2025 North America rankings. The counter seats are the focal point, but the full room delivers the same progression of carefully sourced nigiri and composed dishes. Open Tuesday through Saturday from 6 PM.
Okeya Kyujiro
1 Michelin star
Vancouver's Michelin-starred omakase counter on Mainland Street operates closer to ceremonial performance than a conventional dinner service. Hosts in traditional dress, candle-lit rooms, and a curtain raised at the precise moment of seating signal a format that borrows from ritual as much as from sushi tradition. Seasonal fish, sasagiri bamboo carving demonstrations, and wagashi desserts shaped into flowers make the format legible to anyone who has followed Japan's more theatrical kaiseki lineage.
Published on Main
1 Michelin star
Among Vancouver's Michelin-starred contemporary restaurants, Published on Main occupies a particular position: a foraging-forward tasting counter on Main Street that draws as much from the Pacific Northwest forest floor as from Chef Gus Stieffenhofer-Brandson's German-Manitoban upbringing. Ranked #21 on Opinionated About Dining's 2025 North America Casual list and awarded Star Wine List's top spot in 2025, it functions equally well as a neighbourhood bar seat or a full 11-course destination dinner.
St. Lawrence
1 Michelin star
St. Lawrence has been a fixture of Vancouver's serious dining scene since 2017, translating Québécois and classical French traditions through a menu that shifts with B.C. seasons and small-farm sourcing. Ranked #125 in North America by Opinionated About Dining (2025) and consistently placed in La Liste's top tier, it sits on Powell Street in Gastown and operates Tuesday through Sunday from 5 PM.
Sumibiyaki Arashi
1 Michelin star
Vancouver's most in-demand reservation sits on East Broadway in Mount Pleasant, where a 14-seat counter defines what serious yakitori omakase looks like in Canada. Chef Pete Ho grills heritage-breed chicken over binchotan coals with a tare maintained over decades, producing a multicourse format that sits comfortably alongside the city's leading Japanese omakase rooms at the $$$$ price tier.
Sushi Hyun
1 Michelin star
At 795 Jervis Street, Sushi Hyun operates in the upper tier of Vancouver's omakase scene, where a hinoki counter milled from a 200-year-old tree sets the tone before the first course arrives. Chef Juhyun Lee's Edomae-style nigiri program draws on Japanese technique and a Korean sensibility, with ingredient quality doing the talking. The wine and sake list is assembled by the chef himself.
Sushi Masuda
1 Michelin star
A five-seat omakase counter tucked inside a West End print shop, Sushi Masuda holds a Michelin star and an Opinionated About Dining ranking, positioning it among Vancouver's most serious Japanese dining addresses. Chef Yoji Masuda's Tokyo-trained precision shapes every course, from monkfish liver preparations to the nigiri sequence. The room is spare; the cooking is not.
