encoded: Learn all about what makes the cuisine of Vancouver so special. From craft beer and chocolate to foraging and wild salmon, there's plenty for foodies to enjoy. Plus, we share where to eat and where to stay whilst you're in Vancouver. For more deep-dives into global cuisines, check out our guides to Grenada, South Africa and Mumbai. Jump to: 10 things we love about Vancouver Where to eat and drink in Vancouver Where to stay in Vancouver 10 things I love about Vancouver Angus An, owner and head chef at Maenam restaurant in Vancouver, shares the seasonal, relaxed eating that this west coast Canadian city has to offer. The produce Vancouver has four distinct seasons, so there’s real seasonality for produce. In the spring we have fiddleheads, elderflowers and nettles, and in the summer we have a bounty of different types of tomatoes – from Sungold to Heritage – and the markets are bursting with local berries. In autumn there’s an abundance of wild mushrooms and squashes. Vancouverites celebrate this seasonality not only in the restaurant scene but at home, too. Foraging Vancouverites love to get away to the wilderness at any opportunity and, as it’s right on our doorstep, it’s so easy to do. In the mountains you can often find a variety of wild mushrooms – my favourite is the Matsutake mushrooms, which are prized in Japanese cuisine but grow abundantly in our pine forests. This comes through in their flavour, as they are woodsy and almost spicy, which pairs perfectly with the Thai food in my restaurant Maenam. <img src="https://images.immediate.co.uk/production/volatile/sites/2/2025/08/Foraging-GettyImages2183737892-copy-c51ca02.jpg" width="6691" height="4463" alt="Squamish, BC, Canada - November 07, 2024: A woman searches for wild mushrooms in a rainforest near Squamish, British Columbia, on Nov. 7, 2024.

For more from Gurd, check out his favourite homeware brands and products to discover, Gurdeep Loyal's culinary hotspots and Gurdeep Loyal's trend-led recipes. Gurdeep's favourite foodie experiences around the world 1. London, UK – Eat pie and mash in an iconic East End pie house Pie, mash and liquor (parsley sauce) is a culinary icon, upheld today by a handful of East End family eateries. G Kelly on Roman Road Market (in the Mile End neighbourhood) has been serving pies, mash, liquor and jellied eels since 1939. Its classic beef mince pie has a perfectly burnished pastry crust and is served with a puddle of flavourful green liquor and creamy mash. S&R Kelly & Sons in Bethnal Green is another East End institution – it’s been making traditional handmade mince meat pies since 1915. 2. Malmö, Sweden – Welcome August like a Scandi at a crayfish party August in Sweden is all about kräftskiva: outdoor parties centred around music, drinking and vats of freshly caught crayfish boiled in briny liquid (sometimes with a splash of ale), served cold with a crown of fresh dill. Malmö on the southwestern coast of Sweden is one of the best places to experience one. The Malmö Festival takes over Stortorget Square every August with long banquet tables (they stretch for more than 1km) piled high with boiled crayfish. 3. Mumbai, India – Do a sunset chaat street-snack crawl at Juhu Chowpatty Beach Juhu Chowpatty Beach in Mumbai is famous for its long sandy beach, sunset views and some of the best – and most colourful – street food stands in all of India. Visit Shree Ram Pav Bhaji for its paneer pav bhaji served with a buttery roll, masala pilou and Indo-Chinese hakka noodles. Sharma Chaat Bhandar is known for crunchy pani puri and papdi chaat, while Juhu Sealand specialises in technicolour falooda milkshakes and creamy pist…

Halifax, Nova Scotia: the best places to eat and drink The Narrows Public House – for neighbourhood vibes A local duo lived in this heritage property in the city’s North End district while meticulously restoring it into a truly Nova Scotian neighbourhood hangout. On-point snacks include deep-fried pepperoni dipped in honey mustard sauce and pickled herring with homemade crisps, as well as pub classics – fish and chips, Lunenburg sausage supper (with mash and sauerkraut), and comforting hodge-podge. The province is well represented on the draught beers and ales list – look out for Big Spruce Brewing, Propeller and Boxing Rock – and there is live music three times a week. thenarrowspublichouse.ca Mystic – for fine dining Strikingly perched on the Halifax waterfront like a glass-fronted wave, this fine-dining restaurant showcases Nova Scotia’s distinct terroir in six- and eight-course tasting menus. Chef de cuisine Malcolm Campbell and his team use local ingredients in an inventive combination of traditional and contemporary techniques – think swordfish bresaola crafted into the shape of a rose, seaweed-wrapped lobster in scallop sauce, and saffron chocolate bon-bons served alongside haskap pâtes de fruits on dehydrated sea plants foraged from the Salt Marsh Trail. mysticnovascotia.ca Tony's Donair – for local street food Locals debate over who does the best donair in town – Tony's of The King of Donair.

encoded: Want to know where to eat and drink in Nova Scotia? Or which foods to try in the Atlantic Canadian province? Read our guide to Nova Scotia's food and drink scene and where to stay while you're there, then check out our guide to restaurants in the capital of Halifax. 10 foods and traditions to try in Nova Scotia Foraging Nova Scotia’s rugged coastline is prime terrain for gathering sea truffles, sea lettuce and samphire. On land, bright yellow goldenrod flowers are reminiscent of rustling through the fields as children. We turn them into a delicate vinegar at Mystic, while small white carrot flowers are fried until crisp, and cattail pollen gives a corn-like touch to homemade breads. Pub culture The Celtic maritime influence ensures a lively pub scene in Nova Scotia. Music is a huge part of local life and there are regular live sets in most bars, pubs and restaurants. Traditionally the band would take a break, raise their glass and say ‘sociable’, so this has become a way of saying cheers among locals. Pub food classics include seafood chowder, fried clams and fish and chips. Lobster Nova Scotians are obsessed with lobster, as it is fresh and abundant all year round. The crustacean is used in everything from Acadian grandmother-style pies, hearty poutine and brioche rolls, to intense stocks and delicate mousse. The meat is also combined with seafood and vegetables to create hearty chowders that can be tasted along Nova Scotia’s Chowder Trail, including cosy coastal restaurant Rhubarb. Get up close and personal with 45-year-old lobsters at Ryer Retail in Peggy’s Cove. Brothers-style pepperoni Introduced to Nova Scotia by two Polish immigrants, woodfire smoked pepperoni is now a staple snack found in delis, shops and pubs across the province. It’s often served in deep-fried slices with a honey mustard dipping sauce. The sliced pepperoni creates a cup shape and the oil gathers in a pool in the centre for a moreish savoury treat.
