First Michelin Guide Vancouver gives stars to 8 restaurants, including one serving Chinese cuisine
- The international good-food guide’s first Vancouver edition bestows single Michelin stars on 8 restaurants in the Canadian city, and recognises a further 52
- A branch of Chinese Peking duck chain Quanjude is among them, as is Published on Main, recently adjudged Canada’s best restaurant
The first Michelin Guide Vancouver awards stars to eight restaurants, including one serving Peking duck that has its roots in imperial Beijing cuisine but not, surprisingly, any serving Cantonese food – the prevalent Chinese cuisine in the Canadian city.
None received more than one Michelin star.
The Vancouver tourism board sponsored the guide, and those awarded stars include Published on Main – which topped the 2022 edition of Canada’s 100 Best Restaurants – St Lawrence, which serves Quebecois and French food, Italian-Japanese fusion restaurant Kissa Tanto, and Quanjude, the first Vancouver outpost of the Peking duck chain restaurant.
In addition, 12 restaurants were recognised with a Bib Gourmand – awarded to those serving reasonably priced three-course meals.
