Vancouver, British Columbia — Restaurants

Bao Bei Chinese Brasserie

Casual

Getaway Unpacked Edit

A defining restaurant of Vancouver’s modern Chinese dining scene — small plates, dim sum influences, and a strong cocktail program. Stylish without trying too hard; consistently packed.

Why It Belongs on the List

A defining restaurant in Vancouver’s dining evolution — contemporary Chinese small plates inspired by dim sum traditions, paired with one of the city’s best cocktail programs. Set in Chinatown, it remains stylish without trying too hard and consistently full. No reservations for small parties; expect to wait.

What Stands Out

  • Modern Chinese small plates
  • Excellent cocktails
  • Chinatown location
